Poke House was determined to introduce a product considered new in a market where Poke is still an emerging trend. Moreover, they wanted to associate the brand with a premium experience, to match its offering of high-quality product and services.rnrnTheir goal was to develop and share a highly engaging online experience to bring users into the physical store, through a WebAR marketing campaign. To do so, they wanted to launch a TikTok campaign with gamification elements, in order to focus all their assets and objectives in an instant.

Through Aryel’s platform, Pavesini developed an immersive experience centered around its brand. Visitors to the splash page were transported to the Pavesini beach game, where they had 60 seconds to find and capture four Pavesini flavors: original, cocoa, coffee, and double flavor. The game was designed to be both fun and challenging, with Pavesini hidden behind elements within the beach scenario. Players could see their progress in a drawer at the bottom of the screen, making it easy to track which flavors they still needed to find.

The game allowed players to swipe within the screen to navigate and tap to collect the Pavesini. They could also pause the game without losing their allotted minute. The faster they captured all four flavors, the higher they climbed on the leaderboard, encouraging replay and competition. Sharing the game with friends added another layer of excitement and fun.

Pave Beach’s release and distribution on social media were managed strategically, including call-to-action surveys on Pavesini’s Instagram stories. This approach featured both organic and paid content, from feed posts to sponsored stories, ensuring widespread promotion of the game. Additionally, the gameplay experience was distributed across display advertising via programmatic channels, reaching a broad audience and maximizing engagement.

Thanks to cross-channel activations and an omnichannel marketing approach, the mini-game achieved excellent KPIs. Pave Beach boasted a 46.74% game completion rate and a 34.70% Interaction Rate, showcasing the effectiveness of the campaign.
