World of Tanks is a free-to-play online game that throws players into breathtaking tank battles across epic battlefields, across a roster of over 500 authentic in-game tanks and boasts over 110 million players worldwide. With the launch of an upcoming Super Bowl Ad, NeoReach was challenged to drive new players to the massive multiplayer online game and reduce costs along the way. But could a YouTube video outperform their Super Bowl Ad?
World of Tanks wanted to grow their overall brand presence with 17 to 25-year-old males based in the U.S. Our team moved quickly to drive brand awareness by scaling influencer content on YouTube in parallel with televised Super Bowl Ads.
Not all user signups were created equal — it was important to World of Tanks that our team hit specific customer acquisition cost (CAC) objectives with all of our campaigns. That meant driving more effective and competitive creator content on YouTube.
Creator content was key. World of Tanks knew they wanted to produce amazing original branded content, but wasn’t sure how. So we worked with our influencers to crush a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado with a mid-20th-century tank, all while capturing everything on film.
By partnering with the right influencers to create, distribute, and promote branded content on YouTube, NeoReach was able to reduce World of Tanks' customer acquisition costs and quickly create a larger, more active U.S. player base.
Our team crafted an influencer marketing campaign using a coupon code that unlocked premium game time and a free in-game vehicle as an incentive to set up a new account. World of Tanks wanted us to promote the coupon code to a 17 to 25-year-old, non-married, U.S. based audience who had an interest in gaming.
World of Tanks was able to partner with YouTube influencer Demolition Ranch to showcase a real-life Chieftain Tank crushing an actual vehicle to connect with their target key audience in a fun, authentic way. This was only part of the standout user-generated content that was created throughout the campaign.
Influencers for this campaign created sponsored content only on YouTube. Videos incorporate campaign-specific coupon codes, and backlinks to create a new World of Tanks account.
