Our approach
We used our unique Heart2Remind feature to have a direct conversation with the relevant Gaming audiences through opt-in and notifications.
We launched the initial post as a part of the engagement campaign objective to be able to target users more likely to engage by asking them to like the post and opt-in to receive reminders once the new expansion to Cyberpunk 2077 is live.
For this campaign we had the following comms structure:
- Call to Action Post
- Instant Notification
- 1st Reminder - Notification two days after Pre-order date to remind users about Pre-ordering the expansion & the introduction of a new character played by Idris Elba
- 2nd Reminder- Notification once expansion is live
Both from Awareness and Engagement perspectives, the campaign outperformed benchmarks and reached more than 11 million users.
The actual performance KPIs of the campaign surpassed all of the Wise.blue historical benchmarks with almost 25K user opt-ins, a large number of reposts and a significant increase in new followers.
