YOUR CITY, YOUR WAY.

It had been over seven years since the last installment of SimCity, one of the best-selling computer games of all time. Our task was to relaunch the game in an epic way. 

Response to the campaign lead to record-breaking downloads of the game. Which subsequently broke EA's servers. Advertising was temporarily halted so supply could catch up to demand. Apparently there is such a thing as doing too good of a job. 

Note: Contrary to popular belief, Adam Devine did not write these jokes. I did.



The guy who played Freddy Krueger thinks these ads are hilarious.
