Serious Games As Audience Games For Brand Marketing


New York-based Audience Entertainment, co-owned by YDreams, worked with OgilvyOne Greece to develop an interactive media campaign for Cosmote, the largest mobile network operator in that country.

The 3D audience game, powered entirely by YDreams technology, recently picked up an Ermis Silver, in the interactive media category, at the Ermis Awards, the only awards institution for creativity in communication in Greece, organized annually by the Advertising & Communications Association - the highlight of the industry in the country.

About Audience Games & Audience Entertainment

Audience Games are aimed at theatres, stadiums, music venues, and exhibition centers worldwide, and have already been proven in over 600 live applications. Audiences moving their bodies as one "human joystick" control simple on-screen videogame action, resulting in amazing audience reception, powerful and lasting brand recall, and a major new revenue opportunity for theatre owners.
 
Background advertiser messaging in each videogame can be as creative as the advertiser wants, can be easily changed for different geographic and audience demographics, and is proving to be a powerful replacement of obsolete “slideshow” theatre/venue advertising approaches.
 
Games can be completely tailor made or selected within the available Audience Entertainment game portfolio in which case some graphic elements may be re-skinnable according to the brand corporate image.
