Marketing food and beverage brands, especially newly released or newly adjusted products, can be tricky and it needs to evolve constantly. Consumers nowadays do not respond to the same old marketing strategies from companies.

Companies have taken a different approach by launching bespoke games that their consumers can play to get rewards or be familiarized with the product. These games usually run on HTML5, hence, consumers can play them anywhere as long as they are connected to the internet.

In the end, consumers will be much more inclined to buy the new products since they will feel more attached to it after they play the promotional game. Below are some brands that have leveraged bespoke html5 games in their ad campaigns.

Oreo Wonder Vault Ad Campaign

A great example of a company who takes advantage of launching interactive games on their marketing strategy is Oreo. They recently had one of their biggest ad campaign, the Oreo Wonder Vault.

One of the games they release is an HTML5 game where players drag an Oreo from the starting point to the finish line. Of course, players have to look for the right way, or else they will be lost in the maze. They can use either the Birthday Cake or Salted Caramel Thins variant of Oreo.

Oreo Spill the Milk is another HTMl5 game that was launched for the Wonder Vault Ad Campaign. It is a 3D physics-based action game. There are three bottles that you have to knock down by throwing a ball to them. Players have to hold the ball and flick it towards the target. They have 3 balls for each round.
