RIFLE GAMING

Kraken Rum 'Discover the Legend'

The Challenge.

Kraken wanted to cut through with male gaming audiences over summer, driving strong brand awareness and engagement around their TVC.
 
The challenge was finding a way to connect with gamers organically, placing the brand in an environment that felt premium, relevant and part of the gaming experience, rather than interrupting it.

The Strategy.

Rifle took a gaming-first approach, leveraging premium Rewarded Video and Rich Media formats across a curated mix of male-skewed mobile gaming titles.

By aligning Kraken’s creative with moments where players were already engaged, we created natural brand touchpoints that captured attention without disrupting gameplay.

The combination of high-attention video and interactive end-card experiences helped turn awareness into action, giving gamers a reason to engage beyond the initial TVC.
