INFLUENCER ACTIVATIONS
We developed influencer-focused, hands-on events to establish relationships with global content creators during the early stages of Bloodhunt’s development. The purpose of the engagement was to lay the foundations of the first Bloodhunt communities and provide additional reach to ‘first-looks’ of the game. Beyond that, we were able to gather feedback from the creators that assisted Sharkmob with introducing elements into the game that would make it more appealing to creators. In doing so, we took care of all elements of the engagement – from planning to outreach, negotiation, contracting, scheduling, content quality assurance, reporting, and everything in between.
