About the Work

What do you do when a new Fortnite item has an uncanny resemblance to your product and Gen Z can’t stop talking about it? You embrace it and turn it into free product placement centered around a unique in-game experience that fans can’t get enough of. AXE revealed the Mistaverse, a unique, customized Fortnite map which heroed both AXE and Med-Mist, creating a game that Gen Z gamers actually wanted to play. The Mistaverse trended four times on Twitch and was the top viewed stream of the day, helping us cement ourselves into Fortnite history, all while costing us $0 in product placement.
