Two Worlds Collide

Using the cultural clout and gamified format of I’m A Celebrity, we created an immersive and persistent experience in Fortnite Creative with a core gameplay mechanic: complete IAC-inspired mini games and keep camp morale high. We worked closely with ITV and John Lewis to create a truly 360 campaign, including a credit squeeze at the season finale and placement on the 4D Outernet Screen on Tottenham Court Road.

The problem

Mayday

We were tasked to make John Lewis more relevant to younger audiences by bringing their iconic Christmas campaign to life in spaces relevant to these audiences.

The solution

Crashed UFOs & Christmas Shopping

To ensure the brand entered into this space authentically, we integrated John Lewis into a bespoke I’m A Celebrity Fortnite experience, bringing their real world sponsorship into the virtual world. John Lewis brought Christmas to the I’m A Celebrity camp in Fortnite Creative. We crashed their above the line asset: the spaceship, into the camp and then built around this iconic asset. We featured the Ye Olde Christmas Shop that enabled players to progress in-map, and had John Lewis launch themed mini-games in the I’m A Celebrity castle, including Present Dash and the John Lewis Advent Calendar to engage players. Upon completing these various challenges, players could turn on the Christmas lights, bringing a staple event across the whole of the UK into the virtual world.
