Having been nominated for nine awards, the creative agency won a total of seven honors, including a Gold Award for Best Showing at a Trade Event: E3 Experience Activision/Blizzard Entertainment.
"We're very pleased to have won seven Game Marketing Awards last night, but these new award wins only tell a part of our overall story," said Rob Troy, Co-President of Ant Farm.

We have firmly established ourselves as a preeminent agency within the gaming industry, and we're actively involved in a number of high profile new entertainment campaigns. These include providing all of the video content for the upcoming 'Marvel Ultimate Live" stadium show; a new, multi-year campaign for 'Destiny,' and our continuing role creating assets for every iteration of 'Call of Duty' since its first release."
Troy adds, "These awards wins confirm the talents of our creative team, and affirms the confidence our clients place in us, as we continue to produce groundbreaking new campaigns that target the dedicated fan base of each entertainment property we handle."
