The Game Changers
How We Turned a Controversial Vegan Documentary into a Viral Global Phenomenon
🧠 THE BIG IDEA
What happens when you combine an Oscar-winning director, a cast of global icons, and one of the most hotly debated topics on Earth — meat, masculinity, and performance?
You get The Game Changers — a radical documentary executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul. A film that didn’t just challenge the status quo… it attacked it.
But even the best message dies without the right distribution strategy. That’s where we stepped in.
🎯 OBJECTIVE
Build mass global awareness
Drive massive social buzz
Sell out theaters & generate digital sales
Our job was to scale visibility, generate leads, and engineer viral momentum across YouTube, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and Google.
🔥 THE STRATEGY
We didn’t just run ads. We architected a movement powered by audience belief-shifting, controversy, and content velocity.
1. Top-of-Funnel: Prime the Culture
We launched provocative, curiosity-driven video ads across Meta and YouTube. These videos had zero pitch — just polarizing sound bites, jaw-dropping visuals, and authority bias galore.
We knew we couldn’t sell a film — we had to sell a belief shift:
💬 “What if everything you’ve been told about protein is a lie?”
$70K/month in Facebook & Instagram Ads
$10K/month in YouTube Ads (skippable & in-stream)
All focused on: curiosity, cultural tension, & authority stacking
2. Middle-of-Funnel: Amplify the Buzz
We fueled shares, likes, comments, and watch time to generate virality signals inside the ad algorithms.
🔥 Social Proof Snowball:
We turned controversy into currency. The more debate in the comments, the more our CPMs dropped and reach expanded.
💬 "Meat is king."
💬 "This is propaganda."
💬 "I went vegan and ran my fastest marathon ever."
Every comment was fuel. We built remarketing audiences off every engagement.
3. Bottom-of-Funnel: Drive Conversions
Once the audience was warmed up and their beliefs shifted, we activated direct-response sequences to:
Sell out premiere screenings around the world
Drive digital purchases on iTunes, Google Play, and Vimeo
Capture leads for the official release announcement
We launched high-converting ads that retargeted everyone who:
Watched the trailer
Engaged with our content
Landed on the website
Clicked on the CTA but didn’t buy
📊 THE RESULTS
This wasn’t just an ad campaign. This was a global movement.

🧬 WHY IT WORKED
✅ We engineered belief change before we made the ask
✅ We used content to warm and indoctrinate audiences at scale
✅ We let controversy create virality

No fluff. Just performance. Strategy-driven storytelling that converts.
