Brand marketing trends: 2 case studies on raising brand awareness with games

Contents

Welcome to a new chapter in brand marketing

The age of ads everywhere continues to this day. Research shows that the average person is exposed to about 1500 advertising messages a day, but most of them are ignored by the people who see them, and traditional brand marketing faces unprecedented challenges. As a marketing decision-maker, are you also struggling with how to stand out in a fiercely competitive market?

The good news is that innovative brand marketing strategies are opening a new path: replacing ordinary advertising with gamification. This article looks at this emerging trend and, through two striking case studies, shows how to cleverly use game elements to elevate brand image, attract target audiences and achieve outstanding marketing results.

Let's set out together on this brand marketing revolution and use games to bring fresh energy to your brand!

Why choose games as a brand marketing tool?

In the digital age, traditional marketing struggles to meet consumers' growing demand for interaction. As a highly interactive medium, games can:

  1. Deliver immersive experiences
  2. Strengthen brand recall
  3. Encourage social sharing
  4. Collect valuable user data

Case study: Samsung "Super Z Buddy"

  • Super Z Buddy
  • Super Z Buddy
  • Super Z Buddy
  • Super Z Buddy
  • Super Z Buddy

Samsung partnered with GameNobility to launch the web mini game "Super Z Buddy" for the Galaxy Z Flip5. The team cleverly built the product's folding and water-resistant features into the game mechanics, so players learn the product's unique selling points (USP) as they play:

  • Players control a cute folding-phone buddy to collect points
  • Every move shows off the phone's folding action
  • Water elements in the game scenes highlight the water resistance

Results:

  • Buzz on social media, with users sharing their results on their own
  • A single social post generated more than 20,000 engagements
  • A major boost in brand exposure and product awareness

Case study: Dcard "dtto Merge"

As a well-known social platform in Taiwan, Dcard has always looked for innovative ways to strengthen user stickiness and promote its brand IP. They needed something that would both entertain users and deepen the brand image, so they partnered with GameNobility to develop "dtto Merge."

  • Dcard's IP characters, dtto friends, as the stars
  • Simple tap controls to merge different characters
  • Surprise Easter eggs in the game for extra fun

Results:

  • Users shared their game experiences widely on social platforms
  • Stronger user identification with and loyalty to the Dcard brand
  • Higher awareness of the IP characters, laying the groundwork for future merchandise

Commissioned marketing games vs. gamification marketing

It's worth noting that commissioned marketing game development and gamification marketing are two different concepts:

  • Commissioned marketing game development: creating a complete game experience with brand elements and marketing goals built in
  • Gamification marketing: applying game elements (such as points and leaderboards) to non-game settings, such as point collection, participation and mission campaigns

GameNobility focuses on the former, building exclusive games for brands and bringing brand games into their audiences' daily lives for deeper user engagement.
