Just got back from two days of Marketing Information at the event in Rotterdam.
My presentation was about gaming as a marketing tool – of course, but the session after mine was about product development through consumer involvement. Something I believe in and will have elaborate cases in my book (check Lego Factory on the search engine below). It was amazing to hear that from the six groups that took part in the workshop, four of them came back predicting an imaginative concept for Bol.com would be something with gaming…. I am not making this up!

My presentation was about the future of branding, which comes basically down to:

1. Be remarkable to be noticed
2. Continuously evolve your brands and products
3. Invest in your relationship with consumers

Apart from that I described the gaming industry and the ‘gamer’ – sharing three slides from Today’s Gamer research by TNS-NIPO.

In the end I showed 5 cases, which are also available at BrandNewGame/cases

If you wish to check out my presentation go to the ‘news’ section from next week.

Review: Grolsch Game, airhockey met bierdopjes > Nieuws > iPhoneclub.nl

It doesn’t get easier than this in my opinion: a Visually Adapted (branded) game of Air Hockey, sponsored by Grolsch.

Ideal for some easy gameplay while drinking some pints with your friends or on your own while waiting for your friends…
I guess the game will become harder and harder the more you drink…

>Mindshare Netherlands – Het Wereldwijde Media Netwerk – OLA Waterspelen (Dutch video – sorry). An impressive case by Ola. The waterolympics. Where children could compete in reallife playing various games in and around water to promote the non-fat icecreams by Unilever. Great results as well and great brand engagement if you ask me! I would love to give advice how you can translate this experience into an online portal of minigames inspired by this real life (yearly?) event.
