Creative Assembly, a division of SEGA Europe, is one of Europe’s leading game studios, renowned for the award-winning Total War series.

With SCV in place, Creative Assembly automated player engagement using AWS and mParticle to trigger real-time, behavior-based interactions.

  • Implemented win-back campaigns to re-engage inactive players.
  • Sent context-driven messaging based on in-game activity.
  • Deployed real-time notifications to personalize the gaming experience.

Developing a Dynamic Web Experience

To enhance player interaction, Massive Rocket built a dynamic web platform that personalized content based on player preferences.

  • Designed an interactive UX/UI for seamless player navigation.
