Capital One worked with Austin-based T3 and Facebook’s Creative Shop on the effort. “It allows us to tell an in-depth story that can go a bit deeper than a 30-second TV commercial.” She added that such channels also promote a two-way conversation with customers.

It is airing a TV campaign starring Samuel L. Jackson. “This game will require a pretty high level of marketing,” said Mr. Fairbank on the call.
