Frostpunk 2

Frostpunk 2

We built and executed a full-funnel global campaign for Frostpunk 2, supporting 11 bit studios across every stage of the launch lifecycle - from driving early wishlists and pre-orders to maximizing day-one sales and sustaining post-launch momentum.

THE BRIEF

Position Frostpunk 2 as one of the most anticipated PC releases of the year by combining strategic global marketing, high-impact creative, and paid media activations to drive wishlists, pre-orders, and launch-day sales. Working closely with 11 bit studios, we helped build a campaign that captured the scale, emotion, and intensity of the Frostpunk universe.

THE GAME

PLAN

We ran large-scale paid media campaigns across key global channels, using A/B testing to optimise creatives, messaging, and audience targeting. From wishlist drives to launch-day sales, every phase was supported with high-impact assets and real-time performance tuning. We integrated performance tracking directly into the game’s funnel, enabling us to attribute campaign impact on wishlists, pre-orders, and sales - and optimise in real time for the metrics that mattered most.

"Frostpunk 2 players surpass the original on Steam after just one day" - PCGamesN

Our full-funnel marketing strategy - combined with integrated performance tracking - played a key role in that success. By embedding measurement throughout the user journey, we were able to track real-time performance across wishlists, pre-orders, and sales. This data-driven approach allowed us to continually shift budget towards the highest-performing channels and creatives, ensuring every dollar worked harder. The result: maximum visibility, efficient scaling, and a launch that delivered both reach and results.
