Ubisoft for AC3: Using social networks well
Brad Chin
Ubisoft just sent me an email that I think is brilliant — it's a notice to "help unlock the world gameplay premiere of Assassin's Creed III."
It goes on to say, "tweet, share, and recruit friends to unlock the footage."
How brilliant is that?!
There's even a progress bar included, ostensibly showing the current status of the effort. Though somewhat transparent, this is still an effective way of getting fans to market for you, to earn** something you would've given away anyway.
What do you think of their marketing campaign for Assassin's Creed 3?
