Burberry: Hero
To announce the launch of their new ‘Hero’ Eau de Parfum, Burberry partnered with Venatus Australia to raise awareness amongst gaming and entertainment audiences.
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.
Target Audience
Inventory / Network
To reach audiences outside of their traditional customer base, Burberry sought engaged gaming and entertainment audiences who may not have previously considered the brand.
Strategy
To reach a broad range of gaming and entertainment fans, Standard Takeover and retargeting display placements were chosen to target both desktop and mobile users. With Burberry providing a 15s video creative, our In-Game Rewarded Video placement was selected to target gamers across Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
Creative
Ad Formats
Burberry provided campaign assets to our in-house creative team, who repurposed these into our rich media takeover and display formats, both featuring a call-to-action inviting users to shop now and purchase the fragrance.
Delivery
The Burberry Hero campaign was featured across fan favourite gaming and entertainment websites, such as gfinityesports.com, rpgsite.net and epicstream.com, as well as popular console titles such as Paladins and SMITE.
