/ PROJECT OVERVIEW

Case Study Film

/ THE CONCEPT

Vlad Cazino’s concept centred around Vlad, a reluctant vampire more interested in casino games than traditional vampire life—avoiding blood-sucking, old castles, and coffins.


Vlad was joined by a cast of supporting characters: Igor, his loyal servant, who kept him connected to his roots, and Lucian, a human friend, who acted as his social guide.The brand story was crafted as a serialised sitcom-style narrative, infused with Romanian humour and local customs, and brought to life across TV, digital, and social media.

/ BUILDING THE BRAND

To ensure local relevance, we worked with a Romanian agency to adapt our concepts, manage production, and stay current with local trends. The brief called for a distinctly Romanian identity, leveraging local humour, customs, and character-driven storytelling.

/ KEY HIGHLIGHTS

In its first year, the brand successfully entered Romania’s TOP 5 casino brands, attracting more than 15,000 active users.


• Produced 35+ episodes over five years.


• Partnered with local comedians as brand ambassadors.


• Delivered live brand experiences at Romania’s Untold Festival.


• Designed and gave away a custom 'Vladmobile' as a prize.
