Burberry: Hero

Following the success of their top selling women's fragrance, Burberry Her, Burberry aimed to create a splash with their latest Eau de Parfum for men, Burberry Hero. As chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci’s first fragrance for the brand, Burberry desired a bold and disruptive campaign, which would leverage their strong brand image to raise awareness across untapped consumer white spaces.

With Burberry providing a 15s video creative, our In-Game Rewarded Video placement was selected to target gamers across Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
