I am Gaming from Noodle on Vimeo.

“Hey, we wanna mark ourselves in the Gaming space. Ya, dig?”

We dug. And we went in there with our frags notched on our belts and gaming juice running through our veins. A lot of stuff came out of that presentation - and ultimately, none of it lived to see the light of day. Until now! Working with Mother, we created a new kind of catalog (which I’ve spliced together in the video above, minus the product pages. You can read the Gaming Catalog copy here.) The challenge as a copywriter was to tap into the spirit of gaming, while also showing how Dell computers could live in the same catalog as Alienware and gaming consoles. Because Dell sells them all.

But of course, the strategy for gaming was a two pronged instrument. We went in guns-a-blazin’ with Mother to show how things lived in perfect harmony online and off. This is how it would have lived digitally with the gaming microsite.

One of the problems of a sell point like “Phys-X card included” is that not many people really understand the what that actually means in layman’s terms. So we created a really simple unit to demonstrate. It’s simple, gets the job done, and lets you shoot a big gun.

Designed to bet the ying to Mother’s print yang, this site sadly never saw the light of day. At the top, we see the landing page state. Once you interact, the site spins to show you what’s goin’ on inside - not just the computer, but how playing on the Dell affects you physically. On the bottom right, an example of one of the banners to drive to the site.
