Invisible North Expands Sui’s Brand World Into A Hyper-Real Gaming Universe
Invisible North (IN), a global creative and marketing agency, developed a comprehensive multi-platform ad and brand campaign for the launch of SuiPlay0X1, the first-of-its-kind handheld gaming console with native web3 capabilities. It supports a wide range of PC games, as well as new AAA titles developed using Sui technology. The launch coincided with Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), where Mysten Labs, the original contributor to the Sui blockchain, kicked off presales for the handheld gaming device. The campaign, spanning online activations with real-world events, was designed to drum up excitement for this digital gaming breakthrough in the lead-up to its official 2025 release. To do so, IN headed to Seoul, South Korea for Korea Blockchain Week to turn the city into an ungated playground and redefine what a game launch could look like.
Since SuiPlay0X1 is an unconventional product, IN needed to come up with an unconventional campaign to break free from the established power structures of gaming. Marking this new approach to gaming technology, the “Ready / Sui // Play →” campaign allowed every gamer to become a part of the game. The launch began with seeds planted through bold out-of-home media, reimagining Seoul’s streets with a version of a roaming PC bang (a type of internet cafe or LAN gaming center) that took OOH directly to the people.
From these larger-than-life OOH installations to jaw-dropping events, every moment of this campaign was a portal into the future of gaming. Partnering with YGG, IN produced sponsorship zones for an epic gaming tournament where community and competition collided, giving gamers the chance to win a coveted SuiPlay0X1. IN also orchestrated a standout presence for Sui at the KBW... Read More
