I discovered one strategy bringing you brand into the language that the younger generation can understand or can rely on; this would be considered as the most innovative advergaming that I discovered, bringing your brand into Kinect (a popular peripheral from XBOX360) as a channel to pitch or deliver your brand to the public or to your potential customer or client.

Here is the video the Kinect sensor used as a media for advergaming, the client is Procter and Gamble for their napkin line Whisper, used on one of the fashion event in the Philippines.

One of the most least expected industry that will embrace advergaming in my opinion would be the cement industry.

But in the recent Philconstruct expo happened in the Philippines, CEMEX is the only one company embrace this brand awareness approach, where the impact of decision making of the customer and clients today are through social media channel. Home builders are into technological embrace, where building one house or property is through the use of computers

Waveplay Interactive, a Philippines based company provided the channel which CEMEX is looking for. The said company developed games CEMEX waveplay catcher, Cemex Chant game, and Cemex racing game.



My observation on the said event the only booth that is very interactive is the booth of CEMEX; I've noticed visitors usually stopped and observe the activities; some of them are very interested to participate on the programs by CEMEX.

The aim of the company is; whenever those visitors will purchase a bag of cement. It is very simple ; but, in long term goal of the company, this would have a big impact on the decision making of the consumer and clients especially today's generation where connectivity and tehcnology is very vital in decision making.

The last time that I heard the term Advergaming especially here in the Philippines, that was five years ago, when I was a freelance game tester at the same time a consultant if the game will be release in the market for a well known game publishing company. My good friend from that company, already gave me a heads-up that they will implement or introduce this kind of model, because they saw games from other countries like the US and Japan that they are using this kind approach, which can generate earnings and brand-awareness, compared to the traditional ads.

When I was at the Ultra Mega trade event in PICC forums last week, I stumble at the Nestle booth. They have game called the Waveplay, developed by Waveplay Interactive, a homegrown company. How to play the game? Well, there will be falling Nestle from the sky that you need to catch on you shopping cart, in short, you need to move the character in order to catch the Nestle products; in order to move the character, you need wave (by raising your both hands), and thats it, you will earn points.



At the Nestle booth; the good thing is, eventhough you did not make a high score, Nestle will give you freebies which is a cool. The game is very interactive, baecause the more person that will participate on the game, a high chance of winning the game. It is a good strategy because, the generation today are more social; perfect fit. One more thing, if the visitor will stay long at a booth, chances are that the visitor is interested at the company and their products.



Ever since Level-Up! introduce this business model, Nestle is already embracing this channel; also, at the event, they are the only unique and original compare to other booth Well I guess, speaking of Level-Up! Let see at convention if they have new approach in advertising.

Held at Henry Lee Irwin Theater in Ateneo De Manila University. The whole event tackles the new approach in marketing and advertising using new channels like social-media, mobile devices, tablets, and many more. There is an open-forum on the event which audience are asking questions regarding the new approach especially in digital-marketing.

One the event, ABS-CBN Publishing group introduce their Ipad application for their magazines, which the audience are amazed because in the Philippines this would the first Ipad application offers to the Philippine Market for free; another is, their introduction of DTT or Digital Terrestial Television, which, the first innovation on Philippine Television introduced by ABS-CBN, to summarize this technology, if you are using a conventional antenna at your home which sometimes or everytime, getting free channels on you television is a hassle, especially if you are living in the province, but, using this technology or installing this technology having channels on your television is at ease, especially if you are using a picture tube type television; this would also be another milestone for ABS-CBN.
