The first internet service you can hire without leaving the game

We needed to sell Movistar Fibra service by communicating that it is the fastest internet in the country and the best for gaming, according to the Ookla Speedtest. But we knew that our traditional sales channel, telemarketing, wouldn't work with our target. They hate being interrupted by calls from telemarketers offering them promotions.
We decided to look for new clients in the area where people most need a fast and well-functioning Internet connection: online games. We gave gamers a solution to one of their main problems: lag.
The Anti-Lag Squad: a team of gaming influencers that we infiltrated into the game to find players with poor internet connections and offer them to hire our internet service with exclusive benefits without leaving the game.
The campaign helped grow both brand attributes, namely, the unique and trend-setting brands, and it became a leader within the industry.
We successfully sparked vibrant conversations in the gamer world, a testament to the campaign's impact and our engagement with the gaming community.
We went beyond our traditional sales channel, telemarketing, and created an innovative experience to engage with players in a game.
