What's Your Move
As new global sponsor for the League of Legends events, AXE launched the 'What's Your Move' campaign, which kicked off with the 'Talking Can' stunt (a speaker-equipped deodorant delivering lines from the game when sprayed). The effort also featured a couple of brand films and various in-tournament events, including an AR experience in Madrid and RFID-enabled treasure hunt in Paris.
A curated database of branded gaming examples.
Three hours a night grinding WoW with your guild. Fortnite with your mates after work. Candy Crush on the commute. Whether or not you’d call yourself a gamer, you are still playing. Gaming has become an unprecedented cultural force. Massive attention, deep engagement and yet, little money invested. Need more convincing?

I’ve spent the past few years on both sides of the fence: with gaming brands, and with non-gaming brands trying to work out what to do about gaming. Along the way I kept examples. What started as a Google Doc is now an index of close to 200 of them. This is it.
I hope you’ll find it useful, reach out if you want to chat.
