SUMMARY
To bring Microsoft’s mission to life, increase brand love and demonstrate Microsoft as leader in innovation, we highlighted an unlikely product: the XBOX Adaptive Controller, a device created for disabled gamers, to tell the story about why leveling the playing field mattered for everyone. We took to the biggest stage, the Super Bowl, to show the world: when everyone can play, we all win. We saw 1B impressions, 35M in earned media, 879% increase in #GamingForEveryone and 76% agreeing that Microsoft was a brand they loved.
