How to Create Advertising That Works
Meet the Course Author:
Kirill Oreshkin
Hello! I'm Kirill Oreshkin, and I've spent 17 years crafting advertising and content in the video game industry. During this time, I've led advertising campaigns with a budget exceeding $100,000,000. I've collaborated on major titles like World of Tanks, Blitz, Total War, MyCafe, Raid: Shadow Legends, PUBG, and Hero Wars, working across mobile, console, and PC games. My expertise spans various advertising platforms, including TV, out-of-home (OOH), Facebook, and influencer marketing.
At Wargaming, I established a comprehensive in-house advertising agency where I recruited and oversaw a talented team of creative directors, creators, strategists, art directors, and designers. Together, we've conceptualized hundreds, if not thousands, of successful advertising campaigns. What sets me apart is not just my ability to craft game ads but the systematic approach I've developed over the years.
Now, I'm excited to share this invaluable system with you.
