Context

Hunt A Killer, a subscription-based murder mystery game provider is always looking to improve. The team suspected they could run more efficient video campaigns to lower customer acquisition costs (CAC) and increase returns on marketing investments (ROI).

We pitched them a sharp, immersive video campaign that ended up doing exactly that— and a whole lot more.
