Series

For Peacock’s hilariously wacky new series, we created a twisted and thrilling campaign of trailers and TV spots, as well as the social campaign for the Peacock handles,  filled with only the best ingredients—jokes, explosions, car chases, and star performances—for a deliciously unique blend of comedy and action.

Social Campaign

For the social campaign, we were challenged to create a high-impact, premium campaign to activate the core Twisted Metal gaming fandom, as well as immerse new audiences into the chaotic, action-packed, and nostalgic series.

To accomplish this, we introduced the characters and their absurdity with adrenaline-pumping AV cuts, incorporated synergy plays with our legacy NBCU franchise accounts, and created gamified content to align with the show’s core nostalgic fanbase.

Social Videos

We successfully engaged fans and set expectations for the madness to come in Twisted Metal. We leveraged the quippy dialogue and absurdist moments to elevate our fan-first creative and rally our existing key audience communities. The series has been hailed as a faithful preservation of the original video game and solidified itself as one of Peacock’s most celebrated series—setting records as the streamer’s “most-binged” comedy in the two weeks following the premiere—teeing itself up for the highly anticipated second season.

Explosive Reviews

In order to highlight the raving fan sentiment, we embraced the explosives and created an AV piece to encourage FOMO and even more conversation.

  • Audience Insights
  • Campaign Narrative
  • Creative Positioning
  • Platform and Ecosystem Approach

Our goal was to create buzz and excitement for Twisted Metal by activating both broad genre audiences and gaming audiences—especially retro/nostalgia gamers. For our campaign, we engaged gamers with hero pieces that leaned into the “video game come to life” aesthetic while reaching the broad genre audiences with clips, sounds, and moments that capture the fast, chaotic fun of the show.
