Finalist Use of Gaming

 

Staying up all night with Guitar Hero 3 isn't rare for the game's fans, so Toyota was plugging into known behavior in its Matrix Gaming All Night promotional event on Xbox Live. Over 200,000 players participated across half a million sessions in a "Play and Win" contest that invited gamers to play GH3 between 6 pm and 6 am. The campaign made full use of the Xbox Live as a video channel, with a branded destination portal into content about the car - designed to lift that brand's recognition among young males. Mission accomplished and lesson learned. Reward players for what they already love to do, and they will pay attention.
