Takeaways

Collaborating with influencers and involving players in a video series can be a powerful way to engage and re-engage the community.

Planning and executing a project like this requires careful coordination, from selecting contestants to writing the story and creating puzzles.

Community-driven content that tells a good story can be a more effective marketing approach than traditional advertising.

Long-form videos can be engaging and successful in driving player engagement, especially when combined with interactive elements like puzzles and QR codes.

Even with a limited budget, smaller-scale community content initiatives can still have a significant impact.
