V Energy drink needed a way into the mouths of gamers.



We tapped into Fallout 4’s huge modding community and created a massive mod that made the whole game ‘a bit better’.







As social content, the Mod’s launch film outperformed digital cutdowns of V’s TV campaign 20 times over at a fifth of the campaign production budget.

Unsponsored playthroughs were uploaded by fans of the mod. Some have 50,000 organic views.

The work got V onto the cover of Contagious’ Cannes edition in 2018. The cover was designed by Celia and Vanessa.


The mod was so loved by the community we got a very nice note from Fallout 4’s legal team informing us the mod could stay live, even though we broke some T&C’s.
