In holticulture, people marked their cattle with a hot iron stamp to denote ownership and identity, that is, to set them apart from other similar packs of species a cattle might mix themselves in so that at the end of the day, these grazing animals can go back home to their rightful owners. Identification and ownership is deeply rooted in the human psyche and have been manifested throughout different human languages and cultures. “Human civilization is dependent upon signs and systems of signs, and the human mind is inseparable from the functioning of signs…” – Charles Morris,Foundations of the Theory of Signs The practice of branding has found its way to business and marketing too and branding takes on an extended definition to include a much larger field. The American Marketing Association Dictionary defines brand as the “name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller’s good or service as distinct from those of other sellers.” Via Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com
Matmi's insight:
Building a decent brand is essential for any business. One great way to do this is by releasing a branded game . Matmi have proved time and time again that branded games are cost effective, have a great ROI, and greatly increase customer engagement and customer loyalty - why wouldn't you business want its own branded game when it gives such great results? - HK

An age old but still fantastic little advergame (if I do say so myself). By November 2011 the game had received:
Along with developing the game, Matmi also created a micro-site for the game and other downloadable products to feature. Following the huge success of this campaign, Philips returned to Matmi to commission a sequel. In the “Cosmic Clean” sequel released a year later, Sonic Simon is joined by Sonic Sophie, and the daring dental duo take off for another 3 level game to spread good dental hygiene habits to the aliens of the Moons of Molar, Planet Plaque and Comet Canine!

I’m a big fan of experience marketing activations in movie theaters. I think the media allows you to be pretty creative, very direct and, most of all, to generate a great amount of talkability, at least in the city where the action takes place, and possibly also online if you do a good job seeding the case study video. The latest good execution is made in Sweden, where CP+B came up with a pretty sweet idea to prove the Sony Xperia Acro S mobile phone is waterproof. During the opening weekend of James Bond movie Skyfall they distributed free sodas by the theater’s entrance. Then, right before the movie began, they made the call. And the drinks in the lucky winners’ hands started to ring, allowing them to discover the Sony’s waterproof phone in their cups.
Nice idea and execution. Bit of a Bond fan so they kind of had me with that. Delete the scoop?

Matmi worked Parlophone to promote the Lily Allens’ second album “It’s Not Me, It’s You” with the following objectives:
We created a branded advergame called “Lilly Allen in: Escape the fear” featuring a free play of the album’s debut, and released it six weeks before the single was available to buy. The artist’s appeal ensured a rapid spread of the game online, snaring fans and gamers alike.
Matmi's insight:
The results? In one word, incredible (even if I am a tad biased). It recievced over a million plays per month from 70 countries with a dwell time of 4.37 minutes. That;s over 4 minutes that consumers are engaged with a brand - a minute longer that the single itself. Subsequent analysis by Parlophone showed a direct correlation between penetration rates for the game per head of population, with the chart position of the single and album in that country. “Escape the Fear is the promo video of the digital age. It delivers engagement, interaction, loyalty and sales opportunities on a new level for our artists. The game has delivered tens of thousands of click-thrus, pre-orders and downloads, and even features on the album CD itself. The results speak for themselves – we’re absolutely delighted with this launch.” - Dan Duncombe, Digital Director, Parlophone/EMI Delete the scoop?

Celeb-endorsed applications are not particularly rare; we've seen a few of them at Pocket-lint, including Tom Daley Dive 2012. However, it is extremely rare that a game or app has been devised and worked on by the celebrity him or herself.
