This was our first gamified smartphone with a unique hardware and software experience. It was crucial for us to make a significant impact among technology and gaming enthusiasts by creating a unique experience. Leveraging mCanvas’ engagements solution, we could creatively establish a strong association between our feature-rich smartphone and the legacy arcade game, PAC-MAN. Kudos to the team for delivering such an impeccable ad for us

Since the theme was gaming, it was necessary for us to create a gamification ad that would resonate with the target audience. We are thrilled about the outcome of this campaign.
