GAMING SUCCESS CASE: VODAFONE

THE STRATEGY

Vodafone launched an innovative in-game campaign, leveraging both video and display formats within popular game environments such as Dakar Rally, Avakin Life, Golf Clash, Asphalt Legends, and Nitro Nation. The objective was to increase brand visibility and impact while keeping the gaming experience seamless and non-intrusive.

The strategy combined both formats for maximum effect:

  • In-Game Video delivered deeper engagement and storytelling.
  • In-Game Display maximized reach and awareness at scale.

With an average viewability of over 95% and strong engagement metrics, the campaign proved that gaming is a powerful channel to reach highly attentive audiences. In addition, a Brand Lift Study was conducted to measure impact on key KPIs such as ad recall, consideration, favorability, and purchase intent
