Advertisement, Promotion, and Brand Awareness has come a long way and through various transformations. Brand Awareness started with the local voice-to-voice spread by customers, then billboards and newspapers, then TV Advertisements, and now advertisement, promotion, and brand awareness have become a part of the online world.
Now we see advertisements and promos online. They are all over the apps that we use.
But besides Advertisement, what is the alternative for providing a deeper experience for brand awareness and promotion?
The simple answer here is adopting the game strategy.
With the same thinking, UGGO drinks reached Capermint Technologies to develop a game for their brand.
UGGO Drinks
UGGO is a refreshing drink manufacturing company that offers 8 different soft drinks that will leave you amazed by the surprising flavors that it offers.
Their branding team suggested them to create a game that they can release for the market presence.

UGGO Game
UGGO is a drink. A drink is best enjoyed after you are really thirsty. Therefore at Capermint, we tried to think of a game that can be related to this factor.
After thoroughly thinking of what can bet the best game for this product, we finally thought of going with a running game, as running will make you thirsty. Therefore we develop a running game, inspired by Subway Surfer. In this game, the player has to run for their life and collect UGGO Drinks to earn points.
After playing the game, you will definitely feel thirsty, and in your mind, there will be no other drink that you would want to drink more than the UGGO Drink.
Even if the user is not able to buy and drink the UGGO Drink, they know what is UGGO drink and therefore a game can work for marketing and as well as for brand awareness.
Let’s check some other brand companies and their games examples.
Real Brand’s Games Examples
Various brands are developing games, but, as this strategy is still new, there are very few brands using this, and hence, this is the right time to use this strategy and capitalize. Here are some brands and their mobile games:
Porsche – Need For Speed
As Porsche is known for manufacturing cars that are really fast, they chose a racing game to promote their brand.
Red Bull – Bike Unchained
Red bull is an energy drink. As you require great energy to dirt bike race, Red bull has developed the Bike Unchained game to promote their drink as an energy booster drink.
