DAVID New York Unveils Rom-Com Inspired Valentine's Day Campaign for Clash of Clans
Feb. 03, 2026
Valentine’s Day is all about the celebration of love, but not only the candle-lit, hand-holding, couples-only kind; it’s also for groups of friends, too. Clash of Clans is “clashifying” familiar romantic comedy tropes into heartfelt Clash bromances.
Groups of friends who clan together can drift apart. Life happens, schedules misalign and those who once clashed together leave their clan hanging. The campaign film, created by DAVID New York, shows these players reuniting by reimagining famous romantic scenes. In one scene, a group of friends stands outside a friend's window with a phone playing iconic sounds from the game, calling out to their bro and pleading with him to come back to the clan. In another, two friends surprise a friend at his door, holding up signs inviting him to return to playing the game together. The next sequence shows in-game characters embodying that same spirit of bromance, by putting aside their rivalries to help each other compete in Clan Wars.
Andre Toledo, Chief Creative Officer at DAVID New York said:
"Rom-coms have always shown us how powerful emotional storytelling can be. For this campaign, we reimagined those classic tropes to celebrate friendship and connection in a way that feels playful, heartfelt, and true to the world of Clash of Clans."
The campaign airs on February 1, 2026. Production was handled by Gravy Films, with Crobin Leo as the director.
