The Campaign

We created the internet’s first assassin-training chatbot.

Creative Execution

We pulled apart Facebook Messenger functionality and gamified every aspect of it to create 125 modules that tested users’ ability across six core skillsets – Perception, Languages and Codes, Attention, Morals and Ethics, Dexterity and Mental Agility. This was supported by 6 assessment modules that tested what they learnt, before ranking and scoring recruits. We collected data from the way they interacted with the modules and tests—including response times, accuracy, length of interaction, number of sessions—and cross-analysed it with personal data provided by free-text input and social media profiles. The results provided profiles that could be compared to the film’s protagonist to identify our own ‘Australian Assassin’, who scored a $30k global mission.

For a 15-day campaign, we: - Achieved 92 days of overall engagement - Saw 11 hours of gameplay from a single user - Schooled 10k+ unique recruits - Sent 500,000 messages

Let audiences know there’s more to American Assassin than they think by getting them to understand the skills and psychological attributes required to be an elite assassin. How? By training them, testing their own limits and allowing themselves to be immersed in the psyche of film’s main character. For the first time, a chatbot was transformed into a fully immersive experience with unprecedented interactivity. We created a platform of engaged recruits that could be re-activated for potential sequels.
