The campaign
To launch the new PS 3 game, DC Universe Online, in which you can create your own superhero or villain by choosing powers, abilities and, of course, your custom suit, we created a tailor shop that specializes in handcrafting custom suits for heroes and villains. So you can make your suit a reality and can live the same experience as the game in the offline world.
To announce the opening, we spoke directly to the people it mattered to most, from gamers and comic fans to media in general. We catered each type of media and location to capture their attention.

- Direct to special media.
- Flyers on comic stores.
- Posters on games stores.
- Videos on social media.
- Web to book appointments.

Design

To make Mr. Lee’s logo, we needed to express duality, mixing heroes and villains.  And to mix the old fashion and discrete look of a tailor shop with a modern touch of PlayStation. To create the logo we used the PlayStation symbols together with a tailoring icon: needles. And for Mr. Lee’s corporate identity we created a logo that express duality, mixing heroes and villains. So we used the Superman logo shape together with the kriptonite icon.

All posters were created based on artistic printing, a decorative style born in England at the end of the 19th century. Clearly this is is the style Mr. Lee was looking for when he open his shop in 1934.

The Tailor shop´s corporate identity scheme was created based on artistic printing, a decorative style born in England at the end of the 19th century. Using the appropriate typography on each piece.

Mr. Lee´s most special clients had the honour to be portrayed by his assistant after trying on their new suit.

The design and decoration was based on a classic antique English tailor shop, with a serious and discreet look. A unique environment, worthy of receiving such a special clientèle.

The Promotion

A tailor shop that specializes in handcrafting custom suits for heroes and villains. You can make your suit a reality and can live the same experience as the game in the offline world. The engaging experience began deciding whether to be a hero or vallain, fill out a questionnaire, and get measured. The custom suit was first created within the game and then an illustrator drew a sketch and gave it to the client together with an estimate.
While waiting to be attended by Mr. LEE, people could play the game for the first time and get inspired to think about their suits. The Madrid shop was more successful than Gotham city´s. The appointments were all filled in just a few hours and hundreds of suits were ordered. The earn media represented 4000% Return On Investment to the brand. And we are talking about news content, not advertising.
