Papa Docomodake invades Cartoon Doll Emporium and Meez

Ignition Entertainment is a specialist in creating video game characters that appeal to tweens who are looking for something more innovative than a certain mustacheod plumber.

Betawave collaborated with Ignition to learn what Popped! about their key winter release, Boing! Dokomodake. Our call to action was to "put the fun back in fungi"; as such we placed the main character, who happens to be a talking mushroom, into activites within two virtual worlds.

Our audience of teenagers participated in a branded scavenger hunt and were seen wearing Dokomodake emblazoned sweathsirts, slippers, and hats all over the virtual streets.

Blending this new, fun character into these activities led to some impressive results. Our tweens downloaded over 200,000 branded items, and participated in over 50,000 branded scavenger hunts. The average time spent within these activities was fifteen minutes; and the five cross-network homepage takeovers and media placements did pretty well, too.

Most importantly, Ignition Entertainment enjoyed a successful game launch underscored by measurable increases in brand awareness.

And the client said...

“We partnered with Betawave to bring a fresh new approach to marketing our video games, Blue Dragon and Boing! Docomodake. We knew we had fun games on our hands, but the brand recognition wasn’t there.

Betawave created well rounded online campaign that actually integrated the characters and branding elements of the game as tangible and interactive components within their sites. Emphasizing our brand as part of the content delivered results well beyond typical banner ad placements. We couldn’t have been happier with the execution and reach!”
