Brand Desires are Simple…

•  Ads •  Place Google content ads •  Use another 3rd party ad network to serve mobile or in-game ads

•  Product integration •  Work with a game to integrate product

•  Product experience •  Create a new game or gamified experience

But Brand-Related Gamification Can Range from Simple to Complex

Using a Facebook branded social game, Intel highlighted key features of its products and gave away a month on an island

Ford Fusion mobile app brought the new car’s driving experience to life – no visit to a showroom required

Caesars used a new Ogilvy-built gamified social platform to create a fun VIP-only experience for selected Total Rewards loyalty members – and drove significant measurable results

Sunpower used a solar IQ game to engage likely buyers in learning more about solar – and generate leads

Tabasco created a gamified Tabasco Ambassador program that drove awareness of new ways to use Tabasco (“pairings”) through a points program

New Zealand’s Kiwibank set up an interactive video experience to add some fun to learning about a new easy-transfer process

To drive awareness of anklyosing spondylitis, Pfizer revealed information about AS as part of a virtual throw-in soccer game

To help create a fun way for employees to start to build social influence, Social@Ogilvy teamed up with Kred to create an internal contest in London and New York with prizes such as a trip to SXSW

•  Iteration is not as easy with many branded programs (timing, coordination, costs), so it’s important to deliver value quickly

•  It was important to thoroughly understand the audience interests through research •  E.g. Sunpower “solar genius”, Jeopardy-style (vs. Wheel of Fortune style)

experience •  Ford, auto journalists target audience enjoy the test drive

•  Mechanics lessons: •  Casual, short duration play •  No penalty for starting late •  Rapid rewards for a non-gamer audience •  Points and rewards work on engagement – leading to 20x (or more)

increases •  Keep rewards relatively small and focus on people who care to avoid

corrupting discussion •  Integrate social sharing from the beginning

•  Platforms: •  High iOS download %
