Floki’s Valhalla Fires Up 4-Week Programmatic Display Push Across Target Markets

As the mainnet launch of Valhalla, Floki’s flagship play-to-earn metaverse game, draws near, the team is launching a sweeping, 4-week programmatic display campaign to target gamers and crypto enthusiasts around the world.

The campaign, which begins June 20 and runs through July 17, is part of Valhalla’s multi-channel global rollout. It focuses on automated, intent-driven ad placements across high-traffic websites.

This display effort coincides with Floki’s massive YouTube video campaign and complements earlier launches on Reddit and Twitch, making it one of the most aggressive crypto gaming pushes in 2025.

What Makes This Campaign Different

Programmatic display is a data-driven, context-aware approach to advertising that places Valhalla content next to relevant material—like crypto guides, gaming walkthroughs, and Web3 news articles. Ads are displayed not randomly but strategically, based on user behavior and real-time interests.

The campaign uses:

• Contextual and behavioral targeting to engage users reading gaming and blockchain content
• Intent-based audience filtering to reach gamers likely interested in crypto rewards and NFT economies
• Pixel-based retargeting to re-engage users who have already seen Valhalla content elsewhere
• Cross-channel synchronization to ensure ad consistency across YouTube and display platforms

Targeting the Right Crowd

Floki is focused on males aged 18 to 44—a demographic that dominates both traditional gaming and crypto adoption charts.

Estimated impressions by region are significant:

• India: 828,000+
• USA: 986,000+
• Philippines: 845,000+
• Turkey: 789,000+
• Brazil and Argentina: 690,000+
• Southeast Asia and Nigeria combined: 395,000+

Per reports, with placements on desktop, tablet, and mobile, the campaign is designed for maximum visibility wherever users consume content.

YouTube Joins the Fight

Also launching on June 20, Valhalla’s YouTube campaign will run simultaneously through July 17. Using 15- and 30-second skippable ads, the campaign targets millions of users across key regions—including the U.S., India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia.

Floki’s strategy here is to meet users during their “discovery phase,” when they are browsing game reviews, gameplay trailers, or crypto content. The ads are optimized to track engagement, helping Floki identify viewers who skip, watch, or click, then retarget them through display ads and social media.

YouTube reach estimates include:

• India: 2.7M
• USA: 1.7M
• Philippines: 1.8M
• Brazil and Argentina: 1.1M
• Turkey: 1.66M
• Southeast Asia and Nigeria: 1.6M

A Masterclass in Layered Media Strategy

The programmatic and YouTube campaigns follow closely behind Floki’s Reddit blitz, which launched earlier in June. Reddit is a known haven for early crypto adopters and blockchain gamers, making it the perfect platform for seeding discussion and interest.

The campaign uses subreddit-level targeting, ensuring the ads hit users when they’re researching new crypto projects or discussing Web3 trends.

On Twitch, Floki kicked off a five-week, non-skippable video ad campaign on June 16, targeting hard-core gamers in the U.S., Turkey, and Brazil. With Twitch users spending over 95 minutes per day on the platform, it provides fertile ground for capturing interest through unmissable messaging.

Together, these platforms form a closed feedback loop—ensuring users are hit with Valhalla content across formats and platforms, from banner ads to gameplay trailers to in-feed discussions.

Real-World Reach Complements Digital Push

Floki’s strategy doesn’t end online. In the U.S., Valhalla is already the centerpiece of a three-month media campaign that includes:

• Biweekly interviews on Bloomberg and Fox Business
• Over 100 monthly commercials on major finance networks
• High-frequency placements on Reuters’ Times Square billboard

Valhalla is also the title sponsor of the 2025 Global Esports Industry Week, where it will be showcased through hands-on demos and social campaigns. The event, running June 18–22, gives gamers and esports enthusiasts a chance to test Valhalla firsthand—before its mainnet launch.

Worth noting, Valhalla is a fully built MMORPG rooted in Norse mythology, with a real economy, land ownership, NFT-based pets called Veras, and in-game token rewards. It has gone through audits by OpenZeppelin and Hacken, with launch delays aimed at fine-tuning security and gameplay integrity.
