Ant Farm, one of Hollywood’s leading entertainment and brand marketing agencies and employer to Digital Media Alumni of FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, was a big winner at last night’s 2014 Game Marketing Awards held in San Francisco. Having been nominated for nine awards, the creative agency won a total of seven honors, including a Gold Award for Best Showing at a Trade Event: E3 Experience Activision/Blizzard Entertainment.
Ant Farm has also won multiple Effie Awards, numerous Clio Key Art Awards, and a Cannes Lion says the agency’s co-president, Rob Troy.
“We have firmly established ourselves as a preeminent agency within the gaming industry, and we’re actively involved in a number of high profile new entertainment campaigns. These include providing all of the video content for the upcoming ‘Marvel Ultimate Live’ stadium show; a new, multi-year campaign for ‘Destiny,’ and our continuing role creating assets for every iteration of ‘Call of Duty’ since its first release,” says Troy.
Ant Farm continues its work on Activision’s “Call of Duty,” having created the lead assets for every iteration of that game series since the first installment. The agency has also worked on multiple opening title sequences for this brand. Concurrently, Ant Farm is heavily involved in the campaigns for Ubisoft’s properties, “Watch Dogs” and “Assassins Creed” — marking the fourth title in the “AC” series to which the agency has heavily contributed. The creative agency also created the lead promotional campaign assets for Warner Bros. Interactive’s “Mad Max”, and is significantly involved in the promotion of multiple other entertainment properties for clients Microsoft, Disney and Bethesda.
