"Our marketing strategy for HAWKEN is primarily all “inbound”. Instead of chasing our target audience with banner ads we’ve commissioned creative collateral coordinated as transmedia – an original graphic novel, digital comic, an eBook, a live action digital web series – that are cross-linked and search optimized to funnel players to playhawken.com. We use social media as an accelerant to broadcast the release of new content to remind and re-engage players. And we localize the content for each of our ten major territories." Mark Long, CEO Meteor Entertainment

“Defiance started out as a transmedia project from its inception, which means our world, characters, and events have been originally conceived to span these different mediums. Whether someone watches Defiance the TV show, plays Defiance the game, or even engages with Defiance on social platforms, they will get a unique part of the story, and the ability to become part of the overall story as it is being told.” – Alex Rodberg - Global Brand Director

"Marketing games through immersive storytelling brings audiences into the emotional disposition of the game, enabling fans to imagine how they will feel when they play. Pushing beyond the 30 and 60 second spots to something as big as Halo 4:Forward Unto Dawn allows us to scale both in terms of reach and engagement by telling a meaningful story as a direct entree to Halo 4. We believe fans are loving it and getting ready for the launch of Halo 4 on November 6th.” Matt McCloskey – Director of Franchise Business Management at 343 Industries
