Cracking the Housing Code with Black Ops 6

Our mission was clear: to make the launch of Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 the biggest Gen Z entertainment moment of the year in the UK. Facing intense competition and a saturated entertainment market, they needed a creative activation to break through and capture the attention of a discerning young audience. Recognizing that home ownership is a major concern for young people, the "Safehouse" campaign offered a life-changing prize: £100,000 towards a first home.

Changing the game with a life changing prize

Inspired by the game’s "Safehouse," the central location where players select their missions, and the key narrative theme of the game – "The Truth Lies". Three of the UK’s biggest influencers battled it out in a series of challenges to win a life-changing prize for one of their fans.

A multi-platform strategy for maximum impact

The "Safehouse Challenge" unfolded as a three-part social media series, filmed in a warehouse that meticulously recreated the game's Safehouse. The campaign used a multi-faceted distribution strategy, including influencer content, Call of Duty channel exclusives, and a targeted press story. A network of Call of Duty streamers and micro-influencers amplified the message, supported by tactical paid social promotion.
