01The challenge

A European publisher wanted to lift Japan sales for a medieval fantasy RPG targeting unmarried men aged 18-45 — a large but crowded Japanese gamer segment where prior localization efforts had failed to generate measurable buzz. The game needed both awareness and conversion in one coordinated push.

02What we did

Core-tier activation combining meticulous localization, partnerships with relevant Japanese gaming influencers, tailored SNS creative, and strategic billboard placements in Tokyo and Osaka gaming districts.

Ad spend: €2,000/month, layered across channels so the audience met the title through multiple touchpoints in the same window.

  • Core Marketing Package
  • Localization
  • Japanese Influencer Marketing
  • SNS Paid Advertising
  • Out-of-Home & Guerrilla Activation (LED AdTruck, Tokyo/Osaka Gaming Districts)

03The result

5 million impressions and 4% average engagement across SNS — roughly double typical paid social CTR benchmarks, where global averages sit around 0.9–2% — driving a 27% lift in Japan-region sales over the campaign window.

Traditional paid social stacked with street-level guerrilla activations (LED AdTruck in Den Den Town and other gaming districts) compressed the launch window into a single coordinated push.

  • 5M SNS impressions

  • 4% engagement rate (~2× typical 0.9–2% paid social CTR benchmarks)
