HyperX Launches New Campaign Featuring Tik Tok Star Bella Poarch
Last year, HyperX launched the QuadCast S microphone (read my review), one of the best premium USB gaming mics on the market. Now, they’re kicking its marketing into high gear alongside Bella Poarch, the fourth most-watched Tik Tok star with an astounding 81 million followers.
Aside from starring in the fun new ad you can see below (along with the official press release), she’s also the latest HyperX brand ambassador. That means she’ll be getting the full “HyperX Heroes” treatment, joining their roster of stylized animated characters custom designed around real-life personas.
I’ve always enjoyed the way that HyperX leverages these marketing partnerships. They have a fun vibe that cleverly blends the line between gaming and lifestyle marketing. Watching the video, I couldn’t help but notice that it shows a few quick shots of a new white colorway version of the Pulsefire Haste mouse. I reviewed the original black version of the Haste earlier this week, and it’s one of the best wired gaming mice I’ve ever used.
This huge deal signals HyperX’s continued commitment to premium gaming peripherals, and I can’t wait to see what else they have in store. Check out the star-studded ad and more official information about this partnership by scrolling just a little bit more!
