Background

It's the time of the decade again, console wars are on.

one of the biggest competition in gaming sector.

Xbox and playstation are launch but this time, both of them are launching their new generation console at the same time. same month.

Today we are talking about the launch of Xbox Series X in saudi.

The Gaming industry is huge in Saudi.

In 2021 the revenue of the Video Games segment has reached $576M.

People buy Playstation not because they prefer it but because they know it before Xbox.

Idea

We used our brand message: “ Power on “ with our campaign line “power your dreams” to tell people that we have a more powerful device capable of elevating their gaming experience.

Strategy

Lately, most of the games are cross-platforms games which means you can play with your friends using Xbox and get a better experience because of its features.

Here, we decided to play on the inner child inside every one of us, every kid thinks that his favorite “ toy “ is the best toy in the world until he meets a new “ Toy “ with better features and more entertaining.

We wanted to reach Gen Z to show them the new generation of Xbox without any forced communication because PS is something undebatable for people.

Who doesn’t like to be entertained? people spend most of their time on social media watching fun content.

So we decided to reach people through entertainment! Using the most known platforms in Saudi, youtube & Snapchat with 2 of the most lovable influencers in Saudi a " half gamer " and a comedian.

Execution

Creating 2 pieces of content with “ BanderitaX “ and “AboHamdan “

With BanderitaX we created a Youtube episode of him and his friends going on a real treasure hunt experience full of fun and joy and by the end of the episode they found that the treasure was Xbox series X, it was followed with another episode explaining the features of the new Xbox.

Using Snapchat With “ AboHamdan “ we created a full story for him discovering a new thing sent to him by a stranger with bodyguards followed by a story of him trying Xbox for the first time.

Next, the experience!

Retweet Bendrita to enter a draw for 3 consoles and game pass subscriptions!

And as soon as we started the campaign, we were able to entertain more than 12 Million people on Youtube and Snapchat and we engaged on Twitter with more than 30K person.

people and sell out the device completely.
