Brief:
Malaysia's e-gaming scene was one of the fastest growing in the region. While other telcos were already plastering logos on tournaments and top players, Hotlink didn't even have a gaming product. So how could we win over the love of the mobile gaming community beyond sponsorships and shake their hands on a partnership?
Solution:
THE MAKING OF LEGENDS: EMPOWERING MALAYSIA'S MLBB COMMUNITY
Instead of just interrupting games with ads, we took to Malaysia's #1 game MLBB to empower e-sports underdogs and the larger community. We curated:
Follow the Rise with Exclusive Content
Training updates, player and coach interviews, match highlights and expert analysis, with underdogs and gaming influencers.
On-ground Watch Parties
Amplifying the fan experience by building community support for the underdogs' matches.
Co-created Masterclasses
Empowering the underdogs to have a part in building the next generation of legends.
E-sports Documentary
An ode to the MLBB Malaysia underdogs and the community.
Exclusive In-game Perks
Level up your game with every Hotlink app purchase.
By investing in their journey, we amassed over 23 million views across various platforms, increased media coverage by 30%, higher average watch time by 23%, 3 point increase in brand consideration and 5% more gaming network traffic t
