11 reasons to extend your brand with games

Reason 11

Synchronize your brand vision across all touchpoints
Communicating your brand vision across multiple divisions, geographies, languages, job functions, industries, target markets and partner communities can be costly, time consuming and incredibly challenging. The Holy Grail is to have all the people touching your brand be synchronized on your brand vision and be consistent in the representation of it to others.

When the portability of online games is combined with a fun and entertaining activity, its reach can span far and wide -- to every brand community and every brand touchpoint with the control of a consistent brand message. Experiencing the business brings a greater depth of understanding so that the people representing your brand are more authentic and can give specific examples and greater detail. You maximize every conversation about your brand at every touchpoint.

Among those reasons you pointed out, which ones of them do not apply to MOBILE advergaming?

What developers would have to do to atract a share of the marketing budget? Try to use the logic of web or take advantage of the mobile?

I agree. Cisco has had success with the development of it's EDGE QUEST game - http://tools.cisco.com/GCT/PCTPST/game_public/CiscoGameMCP.jsp - not only from a educating and brand perspective but the game also got picked up in the blogosphere giving us a greater web presence.

Very interesting, what are the best examples where these reasons are actually proven to be true?
