The Warships team came to us with the task of helping to promote the collaboration with the popular Czech character, The Good Soldier Švejk. World of Warships used this character as exclusive in-game content to appeal to a new niche audience.

As a result, we were able to attract 320 new players in one month and over a third of a thousand views on all the videos.

The audience of World of Warships is all gamers from all over the world, but since we focused on the Czech audience, we gathered Twitch Creators from the Czech Republic who will definitely be able to interest their viewers in World of Warships.

What we've been doing:

During the week, we offered the team different content creators: we selected them taking into account the content directions that the creators themselves make, holidays, and important dates. We also used analytics to better understand who we would be working with.

It is important that the creators themselves were interested in participating in the campaign; it depends on how much they will be immersed in the content of the game and with what enthusiasm they will tell the audience about it. That's why we kept a balance when selecting creators between content, game fan, and cost. For example, streamer MgFitman regularly posted calls for signups on his Discord for a month because he wanted to build his own team for the game.

For our own hypothesis testing we attracted two streamers from other regions to the project, one from Sweden and the other from Hungary. Due to the different geography, experience and approach, we were able to attract interest in the collaboration as a whole, and subsequently in the game.

Results for a month of cooperation

We started working on the project from scratch, the audience knew about the game, but didn't fully understand why they should start playing. We made content within one month. During this time we made 24 streamings of 2 hours each, several Discord publications.

World of Tanks, the popular tactical team-based shooter, partnered with Trap Plan to launch a focused YouTube campaign in the US market.

This collaboration involved over 60 YouTube creators producing monthly videos for various World of Tanks channels. In just two months at the end of 2024, the campaign successfully attracted approximately 340 new players and generated over 650,000 views.

While World of Tanks players are located worldwide, this campaign specifically targeted English-speaking gamers aged 25-34 who have a strong influence on their audience and can effectively promote the game.

What we've been doing:

Over the two-month period, we presented the Tanks team with a diverse selection of content creators. Our selection process carefully considered the type of content these creators specialize in, along with relevant holidays and important dates. We also leveraged analytics to gain a deeper understanding of each creator and their audience.

It was crucial to find creators who were genuinely interested in participating in the campaign. Their level of interest directly impacts how deeply they engage with the game and the enthusiasm they convey to their viewers. Therefore, we carefully balanced our selection criteria, considering the creators' content style, their passion for gaming (especially World of Tanks), and the overall cost.

Results Achieved in Just 2 Months of Collaboration

Initially, we faced the challenge of raising awareness and generating excitement for the game among an audience already familiar with it but lacking a compelling reason to play. Within two months, we successfully developed and executed a content strategy that yielded impressive results. This included the creation of 4 integrated YouTube videos and 6 dedicated YouTube videos.
