Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is the sequel to the popular free-to-play first-person shooter game, Call of Duty: Warzone. I worked closely with clients and vendors from the different markets (SEA, ANZ and TWHK) to execute an all-rounded campaign involving KOLs, a physical event and a jersey collaboration.
For Warzone 2.0, I identified and recommended gaming influencers to be part of this campaign from its initial launch leading up to the DMZ:Loot Ops event. After Activision has selected their top 3 KOLs per market, I briefed and worked with them to ensure on-brand content through social posts and live-streaming the game. We worked with our internal video editing team to create an interactive Mission Film that the KOLs can complete during the stream. It was a fun and engaging way for the streamers to play the game and hit all the key points of the game. Throughout, I also managed our dentsu counterparts from Australia and Taiwan to ensure we are on-track and maintain alignment of campaign deliverables.

An event called “DMZ: Loot Ops” was also held, we brought in some of the top gaming influencers from Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Philippines to participate in a real-life Call of Duty game based on the in-game DMZ mode. We worked with an event partner along with our counterparts from Australia and Taiwan to make this happen. The key call-to-action was to get new players to download the game as well as existing players to try out the DMZ mode. The video of the event was streamed live on the KOLs’ channels for their viewers to check out all the action and try the exciting DMZ mode in-game.

In light of the World Cup 2023, we were also tasked to promote the Messi, Pogba and Neymar operator bundles which were available for a limited time. As this an exclusive collaboration, we worked with 1 KOL per market – Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Australia, and Taiwan – to create their very own Call of Duty football jerseys.
We connected each KOL with a local artist to collaborate on the design. This helped with the synergy to brainstorm local elements, Call of Duty elements and the KOL. After the jerseys were produced, I managed the influencer deliverables to ensure that client’s requirements were met and that content was on-brand.
The campaign helped to increase awareness and engagement for Warzone 2.0 and was an exciting way to engage with the target audiences while driving sales for the bundle.

Call of Duty is the world’s best-selling first-person shooter video game and one of the most successful franchises in gaming history. As part of their latest installment, Activision is keen to increase awareness and drive sales for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II through leveraging on influencer marketing, tapping into new and existing players on social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram.
As this is their biggest campaign of 2022, Activision selected the top 3 gaming mega-influencers Alodia and Myrtle from Phillippines as well as Art Airsoftgun from Thailand as part of their Call of Duty Ambassador Programme.
Armed with a 300k influencer budget across the pre-launch to post-launch phases of the game release, we worked closely with the Ambassadors on what creative content that they would like to create for MWII and on our end, to ensure the key messages and call to actions are met.
Aside from the big guns, we identified and engaged more micro to marco influencers within the gaming community. We sent exclusive COD merchandise and briefed them to ensure that they created content that was consistent with the brand messaging while striking a balance with their organic content.

The campaign was a huge success. Our influencer partners generated over 9M video views, reaching over 32M across all platforms combined during its duration. The few Ambassadors were more impactful in driving awareness and sales as compared to multiple micro influencers. Furthermore, there was a significant spike in interest from BETA to Launch – proving that consistent content from influencer partners had a direct impact on creating hype, positive sentiments and conversions.
To increase awareness and drive downloads for the the new mobile game, Diablo Immortal (DI), we (as Blizzard’s agency) did a two-pronged approach.
For increasing awareness, I identified and selected key mobile gaming influencers with a large following on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and Twitch. I worked with influencers and talent agencies across the market to create on-brand content targeted to mobile gamers in SEA.
Chosen influencers were sent exclusive PR kits that included DI merchandise with spicy noodles as part of the #DiabloHellChallenge. They were challenged to play the game while eating the spicy noodles LIVE on stream. This creative challenge increased interest and engagement across the livestreams totalling to over 5.3 impressions and 2.3 million video views across 16 influencers.

In addition to the influencer campaign, my team and I worked with a video production house to create localized paid media assets for the Philippines, Singapore/India, and Taiwan/Hong Kong regions. The 3 localised videos highlighted the message that the “Hell” that Diablo players loved has returned and now on Mobile. The video connected local street food with the iconic Barbarian Whirlwind spin from the game. The idea for the film was meant to be unexpected with a some “maniac” feel to match the game. The localised videos was well-received, 0.22% higher click-through rate and impressions than global assets, thus, were successful in driving downloads for the game.

This was effective in extending the the post-concert hype, generating more attention and excitement for the band.

This includes creating a variety of Spotify ads, social branding assets, and social media ads on platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

In 2017, as part of the international marketing team, I played a key role in promoting Dua Lipa’s debut self-titled album in Singapore. Singapore was her first stop outside of the UK, and our goal was to spread her music to as many people as possible through our social media channels and press coverage.
One of the ways I helped to achieve this was by creating and publishing creative content videos on our social media channels. One of it was a compilation of Dua Lipa’s biggest hits, and this video was well received by the public, thus Warner continued to use this style of videos as part of their owned channel content.
I was also involved in organizing Dua Lipa’s press tour, which included a private acoustic showcase for media and selected fans. I worked closely with her artist management team throughout the tour, led fan engagement and the media interviews with press outlets such as The Straits Times, Cleo, and Bandwagon.
Overall, my efforts helped to increase Dua Lipa’s visibility in Singapore, and laid the foundation for her successful career.
As part of the international marketing team, I was tasked with promoting Denmark’s superstar Christopher on Warner Music’s owned channels in light of his upcoming Asia promo tour in Singapore. However, it was a challenge to promote him as he was not well-known in Singapore. To tackle this issue, I created creative content videos such as a TOP 3 Christopher songs compilation video and a trivia video for social media platforms. The videos were well-received, and helped to increase Christopher’s visibility in Singapore.
During the press tour, I designed the official press poster and was responsible for liaising with the artist management team and the press.

This collaboration helped to increase Christopher’s visibility among Singaporeans, and generated a lot of buzz for his upcoming album.
