Context

The original project context established that a major event organizer in Mexico needed to achieve specific objectives. Our situation analysis identified that they needed:

  • To CONNECT with a massive, targeted gaming audience.

  • To ARRANGE a professional-tier Fortnite tournament.

  • To LAUNCH a dedicated gaming channel named "Gamers Unite" to act as a permanent hub for video game updates and future competitions.

Task

Our fundamental goal was not just to host a single event, but to leverage a premier tournament to build a sustainable platform. The primary tasks were:

  • Create a professional Fortnite competition that would attract serious players and spectators.

  • Build an initial engaged community from scratch for the "Gamers Unite" brand.

  • Secure long-term monetization through future brand sponsorships by proving the concept's viability with this initial event.

Actions

We deployed a comprehensive, integrated multi-channel strategy to ensure the tournament’s success and the channel’s launch:

  • Tournament Hosting: We organized and executed a multi-wave competition, hosting it live on Twitch.

  • Regular Content Flow: We produced weekly live highlight shows for Twitch and YouTube to maintain engagement.

  • Paid Media Strategy: We deployed a "FULL PAID MEDIA CAMPAIGN," including specific content like the "Intensa Doble Jornada" social media posts.

Learnings

  • Content Repurposing Maximizes Reach: Slicing live broadcast footage into short-form VOD assets generated significant secondary engagement (210K views on YouTube Shorts, 109K on Facebook), extending the lifecycle of the event and capturing audiences across multiple touchpoints.

  • Paid Media Accelerates Community Scaling: Integrating a full paid media campaign alongside organic engagement engineered massive visibility, delivering 20.9 million total impressions and rapidly building an audience from zero to over 138,000 YouTube subscribers.
