CHALLENGE
The world’s largest app store was making a major brand shift to gaming but lacked cultural credibility in the space.
SOLUTION
Differentiate the brand by shining a light on under- appreciated segments of the gaming community.
Google Play Social is a storytelling platform that establishes influence with gamers, turning the audience into advocates through useful and entertaining content across social media platforms.
The strategy was built on a simple idea: as the largest mobile gaming platform and a brand famous for continuous innovation, Google Play can connect the entire world of mobile gaming and inspire a diverse future of innovative entertainment.
To live up to this potential, we needed to help Google Play enter the online conversation and bring genuine value to mobile gamers.
Imprint Projects created First Person, a Google Play original content series that celebrates the creativity behind mobile gaming, and a series
of documentary films following Google Play’s Change the Game Design Challenge. The programs have delivered big audience growth and encouraged a new generation to enter the gaming industry.
