Case Study

Players Go All in for Pringles

Pringles partnered with Activision Blizzard Media for the launch of the highly anticipated Match 3 rewarded rich media on its mobile ad platform. Pringles was able to provide real value during key moments of gameplay in a premium, brand safe, and 100% user-initiated environment.

The Goal

Amplify Pringles’ association within gaming and increase consideration of Pringles Stackable flavours.

  • Campaign Date: February 2020
  • Creative Formats: 10 Second Videos & Match 3 IECs
  • Markets Measured: United Kingdom
  • Inventory: King Games

The Solution

This campaign utilised a series of 9 rewarded videos, each featuring different stackable flavour combinations, such as “the smoking saddle stack.”  The Match 3 end cards followed the videos, where players were greeted with a highly engaging and interactive 6X4 Pringles game screen directing them to “Match 3 items and win a booster!”.

The Results

Rewarded videos with Match 3 end cards were key in driving an effective activation for Pringles. The Match 3 end card experience emulated the gameplay of Candy Crush and created a seamless brand integration for Pringles, all while providing desirable rewards to players and helping further their game progress. As a result, the campaign delivered across all key performance metrics. Additionally, the campaign had a CTR rate that was nearly double the platform average without end cards.
