“We are thrilled to take home our third Ex Award for Best Proprietary Property, a category where we believe the experiential marketing world is heading,” said Ryan Fitzpatrick, VP, NCompass International. “Brands can no longer rely on others to create platforms for consumer engagement, they need to create the platforms themselves. We’ve been able to work with the team at Activision in a way that’s resonated not just with the very discerning worldwide Call of Duty community but also our respected peers in the industry.”

This year’s winner in the Best Proprietary Property category was the 2014 Call of Duty® Championship presented by Xbox. Utilizing key insights from the eSports community, all aspects were designed to create a broadcast that would captivate audiences in physical attendance and those around the world viewing online. A global audience experienced players’ journey to the championship stage via the live, 3-day broadcast which included AAA sports-style coverage of the event, real-time interviews, a fully produced stream of player/team profile pieces, and A-list talent from the eSports world. The broadcast was covered and distributed through partnerships with Microsoft and Major League Gaming.
