BMO
"Be Right Back"
FCB
When gaming streamers step away to eat or drink, they post “Be Right Back” (BRB) screens, resulting in a drop in viewers. So BMO created the “Be Right Back” campaign to help streamers retain viewers by transforming the passive BRB screen
into a playable moment.

The game, “Eclipse Odyssey,” turned Twitch streamers into game characters looking for food. This aligned with the BMO Eclipse Visa Infinite card’s reward structure, which offers points on takeout, delivery or transport.

The campaign led to an 85% retention rate for streamers, 4,000 viewers clicking through to learn about the card and $440,000 of media value unlocked.
