VideoGamer.com breaks new ground with Homefront digital campaign (3/15/2011) 1:48 PM

London, England, March 15 2011: As part of the digital advertising campaign for Homefront, the upcoming first‐person shooter developed by Kaos Studios and published by THQ, VideoGamer.com is running the most ambitious integrated advertising campaign in the website’s history. The campaign has been orchestrated with media agency Five by Five.

With Homefront, VideoGamer.com brings the power and impact of a magazine front cover to the internet. Starting Monday 14 March and running through until Sunday 20, readers of the site will be presented with a full page splash, designed to give the appearance of a magazine cover that invites readers to click through to a bespoke coverage hub. Each day of the week a new piece of content is unlocked, and within each is a three digit code. By collecting all five strings of code readers are eligible to win a Parrot AR Drone, one of the unmanned gadgets used in the game, as provided by THQ.

“The unmissable nature of the front cover creative combined with an engaging hub will provide Homefront with maximum stand‐out amongst our influential readership of enthusiast gamers” said Chris Thomas, Sales Manager at VideoGamer.com

Paul David, Head of Media for Five By Five added “Launching a new IP encounters many challenges: Integration and multiple‐touchpoints enhance the depth of the brand / consumer relationship, which is essential in driving an emotional engagement with the target audience. We are constantly pushing sites to deliver ‘beyond the banner’.

VideoGamer.com consistently deliver a ‘can do’ approach and are prepared to challenge the space to deliver on our objectives. Innovation, support and bloody hard work, coupled with a great new gaming proposition, have driven the success of the Homefront pre‐orders.”
