  • Twitch influencer marketing: how brands earn trust in live creator communities

    Twitch influencer marketing works differently from a polished product placement on a short-form feed. A streamer is speaking live, chat can respond immediately, and regular viewers often know when a sponsorship feels out of character. That combination makes Twitch useful for brands seeking attention with context, but unforgiving when a campaign treats the creator as…

  • Pepsodent turns Kholidin’s bite into a sports performance story

    Sports sponsorship usually starts with visibility. A brand puts its name next to an athlete, borrows some of the attention around competition, and hopes the association transfers.

  • Uber turns “Ooooo” into a brand mnemonic for first rides

    Uber’s newest acquisition idea starts with a sound people already make when something unexpectedly good appears.

The campaign, created with Talented Agency and Bang Bang Films, uses…

  • Changi turns Nailoong fandom into an airport shopping journey

    Changi Airport is using a character with a huge online following to give Golden Week travellers more reasons to stop, explore and shop instead of treating the airport as a place to move through as quickly as possible. The airport’s official Nailoong’s Joyful Journey campaign page turns the Chinese character IP into a route across…

It is becoming an incomplete buying framework. Once an agent…
