Hong Kong-based digital agency Pixo Punch, which has been working on the Fortress account for a year, developed the ‘Fortress academy’ Facebook game, and are launching it just ahead of the new academic year, peak season for electronic appliance shopping.
From now until 16 September, Facebook-savvy youth can take the role of a student and register in the game. Participants can help their characters to choose their own uniform with digital product logos of those brands printed on the school bag.
They can take a picture for the character and save as the profile picture for their facebook accounts. During the ‘registration’, there is also an 'exam' to check how well they know Fortress.
“The sponsoring brands not only can increase exposure of their highlighted items through this Fortress Facebook game, it allows them to reach potential customers of their compeititors," Ben Woo, project director of Pixon Punch, said. "This is a unique promotional advantage compared to solely launched campaigns.”
More than 1,000 prizes, valued at over US$13,000 (HK$100,000) and including digital products and skin care items, are available to win. The top prize on offer is a HTC Sensation 4G mobile phone.
The campaign is supported by portal banners in On.cc, Discuss.com, Yahoo and print ads.
