We close another exciting quarter, helping our clients achieve KPIs in millions of views, impressions and engagements - obtained with the reach to the Middle East’s gaming audience on multiple platforms.
The majority of the action came through innovative launches to the Call of Duty titles, both on PC and on Mobile. In addition, activities included other titles such Overwatch and Assetto Corsa (Racing simulator).
All of this is made possible through the co-creation with our incredible partners for the quarter. These included Activision, Nvidia, WIzzo (MBC Group), Acer and Jumbo Electronics.
Call of Duty: Wizzo (MBC Group) Activation
Wizzo, the biggest social media platform for gamers in the Middle East, partnered with EGA on an event that had players and creators working together to create a buzz.
The first 2 weeks of Ramadan saw over 75,000 Saudi Riyals in giveaways, with a Dodge charger awarded towards the end of the holy month to top it all off. These were implemented through social media campaigns and custom live streams, all planned and executed by The Esports & Gaming Agency Middle East.
The wrap up of the campaign was through Bin Baz and Saad, two of the biggest Instagram content creators in the UAE and the region. The Wizzo platform hosted an exciting and fun matchup between both personalities to determine the ultimate CODM player.

The Esports & Gaming Agency Middle East in collaboration with Activision organized a campaign to mark the launch of Season 3 for the landmark Call of Duty franchise. Up to this point, EGA has handled the game’s major release campaign, and every season launch since then.
Can you imagine a Twitter feud between YouTubers, that turns into an actual challenge there and then?
Season 3 featured some major Middle East influcners, including FFearFFul, Drb7h, Basharkk, zCleVer2, and LeoNoHero.
The five participating content creators kicked off the campaign through a Twitter feud, challenging each other to Call of Duty supremacy. Call of Duty Arabia’s Twitter account jumped in at the end of the exchange to make it official and kick off the event – asking the players to put their actions where their words are!
Every 2 players were put together, with FFearFFul playing in week 1 and Drb7h taking his place in week 2. Each kill and win added points to each team’s score respectively to crown a winning team at the end of the second week.
Week 1 highlighted all the map changes and additional features and content introduced to Warzone. On the other hand, week 2 took players into the multiplayer mode to try out Sticks & Stones alongside the content creator’s favorite multiplayer modes.
Combined video content published managed to accumulate X views. Add on top of that a total of X impressions from the videos, social media posts, and stories published to promote the campaign’s content. With over X hours of watch time, the Call of Duty community was well prepared and pumped up to jump into the new season to dominate opponents.
