Call of Duty: Warzone Immortalizes Gamers’ Legacy With Idomoo Personalized Video

They say the bonds of battle run deep. How about the bonds of playing Warzone with friends?

That’s what the Call of Duty team decided to test with its enormous “Warzone Legacy” Personalized Video campaign, which celebrated the new Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 game by allowing players to share their legacy of the original Call of Duty: Warzone.

The Plan

Allow past Warzone players to receive and share their personalized data-driven video immortalizing their accomplishments, complete with their unique stats from their entire history of gameplay. Then, to take things up a notch, also call out the friends they played with (their “squadmates”).

Want to know which squadmates have been by your side through it all? We’ll tell you.
Want to know which of your friends died the most? We’ll tell you.
Want a report of your own lifetime stats? We got you there too.

Personalized Videos covered all of this and more in a high-adrenaline action-packed ride only fitting to the legendary Call of Duty franchise.

The Results

This was a massively successful social campaign with millions of gamers not just retrieving and sharing the Personalized Video but also tagging their squadmates, creating a chain reaction that led to instant virality.

“We’re always exploring new ways to engage our audience and give back to the Call of Duty community,” said Tyler Bahl, Head of Marketing, Call of Duty.

Within hours, dedicated members of the Call of Duty community were all in on the fun. Gamers didn’t just post their videos but also tipped each other off on how everyone could get and share their free #MyWarzoneLegacy video.

There were top influencers like TimTheTatman wracking up hundreds of thousands of views for his recap, as well as gamers of all caliber quickly getting in on the fun.

Press picked it up almost immediately, telling gamers to not miss out by heading to the My Warzone Legacy landing page to claim their video.

Despite the project launching on U.S. election day (Nov. 8), the #MyWarzoneLegacy hashtag quickly reached #4 on Twitter while also breaking a million views on TikTok and elsewhere.

Posts were seen in 99 countries. This was made possible by the video being created in 10 languages:

English
French
German
Italian
Arabic
Japanese
Traditional Chinese
Castilian Spanish
Mexican Spanish
Portuguese

What’s Your Legacy?

When Marcus Aurelius wrote, “what we do now echoes in eternity,” he was referring to one’s legacy.

To its players and community, Call of Duty Warzone has always been about “squadmates” and the bonds built there. So can a video game be part of one’s legacy? Well, how about the friendships and bonds formed while playing that game? For answers, head over to social media, check out the comment sections and see for yourself.

How To Create Personalized Content (Without Making It Creepy)

Brands today face a complex challenge when it comes to personalization. On one hand, customers have grown more and more concerned over how businesses are using their information, stressing the importance of data security and privacy protections. On the other hand, they’re also demanding tailored experiences that cater to their individual needs and preferences. It’s confusing and contradictory — but also not surprising if you consider our history. Cinema offers a great metaphor for this. Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” opens with the raising of a curtain. This is a tribute to classic theater — a raising curtain has been shorthand for “the show is about to begin” for centuries. However, something is a little different here. These are not traditional theater curtains, but rather a window curtain. This, of course, raises the question: What kind of show would be watched through a window? A voyeuristic one. The Dual Nature of

Younger Consumers Keen for AI Videos From Brands, Data Shows

This year, we again conducted a market study of 2,000 consumers, asking them their opinions on a range of customer communications, especially video. It’s an annual report (you can get the latest data here), but this year, we looked at something new — how interested are they in receiving AI video from brands? We also asked if they would want to know if the video was created using AI. Then we dug into the data, evaluating it by different demographic splits to look for patterns. One instant standout was the different responses by generation. Over 75% of millennials and Gen Z are interested in receiving AI video from brands. This decreases with older generations, dropping to 63% for Gen X, 42% for boomers and 27% for the Silent Generation. But what we’ve found with previous market studies is that what younger generations, especially Gen Z, want today is what the

Building Customer Relationships in the Insurance Industry

Gone are the days of customers choosing to work with an insurance company simply because there aren’t any other options. We don’t just get our news from word-of-mouth meetups with friends anymore, just as we don’t choose our insurance or financial companies based on who is available in our area. Instead, choosing to work with an insurance company is a longer, more thought-out process. Potential customers consider everything from a company’s online reviews to their customer service to their policies and price. Because of this, it’s more important than ever to build customer relationships that are personal, trustworthy and will stand the test of time. Let’s dive into why insurance companies should prioritize building relationships throughout the customer journey and how to get started. What Does a Customer Relationship in Insurance Involve? Customer relationships in the insurance industry are the emotional connections and trust built between insurance providers and their
