HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc. and brand leader in gaming and eSports, today announced the first HyperX We’re All Gamers ad campaign which will run across television, digital and social in 2019. The campaign features a diverse talent roster including Post Malone, Joel Embiid, Shroud, Gordon Hayward, Pokimane, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Daigo, De’Aaron Fox and Cloud9’s Rush. It showcases the individual illustrated gaming spirit of each of the personalities participating. Creative leadership is led by the agency Envoy.
As the new presenting sponsor of NBA Saturday Primetime telecasts, We’re All Gamers television spots will begin on January 19 and will continue through the playoffs and the NBA Finals on ABC and ESPN. In addition to commercial time, HyperX branding will be integrated into game time outs. ESPN’s SportsCenter will also feature HyperX virtual set integrations several times throughout the NBA season.
The We’re All Gamers campaign is designed to integrate into today’s dual-screen world of watching on a big screen and looking down at a mobile device to watch the game or during breaks in between gameplay. Here is a 30 second campaign example with four influencers and their gaming spirits.
