Our overall vision was to create an engaging advertising experience where users choose to interact with a brand by selecting available prizes based on their interests.
Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) September 25, 2014
The Play4it gaming app is the ultimate contest-driven and iPhone-based consumer engagement platform, where gamers compete to win tangible prizes courtesy of contest sponsors and partnering brands. Since launching in 2013, Play4it has attracted thousands of users and impressions to its free gaming platform.
For consumers, Play4it is a free app where users play addicting games and solve puzzles while competing against other users for their prize of choice. For advertising partners, Play4it provides an easy-to-use advertising platform that allows contest sponsors to engage with a highly-targeted user audience.
Unlike traditional gaming apps, the innovative platform offers a corresponding web-based portal for direct access by advertising partners to promote their brands by selecting the target audience of their preference, in addition to contest details, length and the prize to be awarded.
“We developed the Play4it advertising portal to promote efficiency and ease-of-use for our advertising partners when creating custom-built contests, but we also wanted to provide access to in-depth, real-time analytics,” explains Play4it founder and CEO, Christian Stavro. “Our overall vision was to create an engaging advertising experience where users choose to interact with a brand by selecting available prizes based on their interests. Throughout the lifecycle of a Play4it contest, users are creatively exposed to elements of the contest sponsor’s brand, creating a more meaningful memory unit than that of your typical mobile banner ad.”
After playing a single sponsored contest on the Play4it app, 77 percent of Play4it users are able to recall what the advertising messages they experienced were about. Whether the brand messages being viewed are in the form of video, static imagery, or seamless in-game product placement and game integration, Play4it users are immersed in the brand while engaging physically with the app in a fun and memorable way. The combination of both kinetic and mental user engagement increases the user’s association of the contest sponsor’s brand with an exciting and rewarding experience.
