Challange
Our objective was to communicate the universe of facilities of as an added value of the project, being a selling proposition for Liziera de Lac, in a market dominated by low quality real estate projects. We wanted our public to understand what it takes to build a quality residential project from scratch, the complexity of the development and hard work required.
Solution
To achieve this goal and to be able to illustrate the stages and efforts involved in the development of a 10-year project that aims to reach 4400 homes, VR:AI Agency worked with an independent game development studio to develop a game dedicated to the project.
The central element of the campaign is a free-to-play match 2 video game that prizes a nest 1 house in the complex.
The goal of the game is to solve a puzzle to collect resources and build the complex, level by level. The objective is to show users every step of the process of developing a project of such scope - from the construction of the infrastructure to the construction of the houses, precisely to illustrate in a playful way Liebrecht & wooD's approach to building a generation project large-scale urban and to show through the game, to all users, what the ecosystem of utilities is, as well as the ecosystem of amenities.
We designed an integrated communication campaign with traditional media (TV, radio), online (dedicated website, content marketing - podcasts and content articles), influencer marketing, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube) and digital performance media for user acquisition.
