CHALLENGE
The Entertainment Software Association charged Double Forte with generating positive buzz and significant global media attention around its high-profile annual computer and video games trade show, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
APPROACH
The Double Forte team leveraged the show’s popularity to secure attendance by top tier consumer, entertainment, business, and trade media. DF also supported a wide range of influencer campaigns initiated by the ESA staff that targeted Youtubers, Twitchers and high industry profile luminaries. These attendees included Geoff Keighley, AV Club, iJustine and RoosterTeeth. In addition, the team reviewed and credentialed nearly 5,000 applications, staffed the Media Center during the event and helped promote E3’s offsite events.

RESULTS
The highly successful effort resulted in over 200 billion media impressions worldwide and media attendance at the show reached over 3,200 attendees. 15% of these media attendees were highly influential YouTubers including the wildly popular Smosh Games channel. Social media impressions netted in at 38 billion and included impressive social conversation on platforms like Twitter with 3,800,000 posts during the show.
