Leveraging the popularity of casual online games and the recent shift in entertainment consumption patterns, Chupa Chups announces its collaboration with live game streaming platform Loco. This initiative has been conceptualized and executed by Wavemaker India in partnership with Loco.
Chupa Chups as a brand has targeted teens & tweens as they enjoy spontaneous and impromptu fun. Staying true to its philosophy of Karte Raho, Fun Fana Fun Fun that aims to inspire and liberate our inner kid, the brand has created integrations with popular online games like Bull Bash and Snakes on the Loco app to drive this positioning further. The integration is live and has been undertaken for a period of 45 days, and both the branded games are hosted under the arena section in the Loco mobile application.
The brand has been running contests online to recognize top scorers and has been giving away gaming consoles to the top five players every week as part of the collaboration. The campaign is being actively promoted on social media and on the Loco platform.
Highlighting the thought behind the collaboration, Rohit Kapoor – Director Marketing – Perfetti Van Melle India (PVMI) said, “At Perfetti Van Melle, we have always worked towards tapping interesting consumer trends and aligning our products and brand campaigns to best suit the audiences’ changing preferences. Chupa Chups has always championed keeping fun alive through playful product formats and campaigns that are rooted in the philosophy of ‘Fun’. With online gaming being an important form of fun & entertainment for our TG, collaboration with LOCO was a natural fit for Chupa Chups. We believe that this collaboration will increase brand relevance and help take the brand to greater heights.”
