What we did
Looking at the fantastic artwork that had been created for the game. We proposed the idea to Abstraction Games of creating a run of limited edition numbered prints to send to media and influencers. We further proposed creating an accompanying ‘certificate of authenticity’ to go with the prints. Here’s what we did:
- Printed 60 Giclee high-quality A2 prints that were individually numbered on the back
- Created an accompanying certificate of authenticity signed by artist Chris Cold complete with an embossed gold leaf seal
- Sent personalised letters to each print recipient on old-style parchment paper to fit with the look and the feel of the game
How we did it
- Announced the title to over 1100 media several months ahead of launch and handed out review code at launch
- Researched several hundred influencers based on specific interests for each platform
- Approached influencers and gave them keys
- Ran a front page banner on Keymailer for 5 days to drive influencer uptake
- Created limited edition prints and sent them out to the media and influencers
The Results
- Generated over 132 pieces of media coverage including N3rdabl3, VentureBeat, The Daily Mirror (UK), Jeuxvieo, Nintendo Life, 4Players and more
- Estimated coverage views of 1.77 million
- Total reach of media and influencers exceeded 11 million
- Over 21 days of YouTube watch time
