Case Study
40,000 Prada Samples Requested in Less Than a Day
The Overview & Goal
L’Oréal sought to drive awareness and favorability of their Prada Candy fragrance by reigniting the product’s relevance with their A18-34 target audience. Prada Candy partnered with Activision Blizzard Media to delight players by bringing the fragrance into the world of Candy Crush Saga.
As one of the world’s most popular mobile games with over 240MM active users, the characters and world of Candy Crush are beloved by players. This creative collaboration brought together Prada Candy and Candy Crush’s brand into a custom mini-game that provided players with an elevated ad experience, enhancing gameplay and deepening brand affinity.
- Campaign Objectives: Awareness & Favorability
- Campaign Date: November - December 2022
- Markets Measured: United States
- Inventory: King Games
The Solution
L’Oréal and Activision Blizzard Media created an ad experience that leveraged the fun, playful nature of both Prada Candy and Candy Crush Saga. Through a custom first-of-its-kind Playable, Activision Blizzard Media weaved together the fragrance and the game’s iconic design. The mini-game integrated Candy Crush IP into a classic memory match game where the Prada Candy product was gamified along with familiar Candy Crush candy pieces and hidden within chests. Players had to tap chests one at a time and match the correct pairs.
The experience was the perfect balance of fun and challenge that Candy Crush players have come to expect and love. Once completed, players were able to redeem a fragrance sample and learn more about the product.
