Lay's, Anzu, Eskimi | November 01, 2022
One of the world’s largest and best-known snack companies, Lay’s, partnered with Eskimi, a full-stack programmatic data platform, and Anzu.io, the world’s most advanced in-game advertising company, to launch an intrinsic in-game video ad campaign to promote its potato chips among the mobile gaming audience in Latvia.
Lay’s wanted to leverage gaming to help it reach its target audience of 18-34s and worked with Anzu and Eskimi to get in front of Latvian gamers in the most engaging and non-disruptive way.
Lay's in-game video ad campaign featured in titles such as Gravity Rider Zero.
The 6-second videos, which were to the point and showcased Lay’s products in a quick and effective manner, worked extremely well in the fast-paced gaming environment and achieved a 92.5% video completion rate, a 98% viewability rate measured by Anzu’s patented 3D ad tracking engine, and cyber security platform HUMAN reported a 0% invalid traffic score for the campaign, reinforcing the low fraud rates associated with gaming environments.
“We are very satisfied with the campaign. It allowed us to reach players who are fully focused on their game and won’t tolerate any intrusive advertising. With such high engagement, it’s no wonder we were able to achieve such high completion rates. Only a few ad platforms provide such high-quality placements.”- Kristaps Osis, Key Digital Transformation Specialist, Omnicom Media Group Latvia
“The huge success Lay’s has seen from this programmatic campaign demonstrates the power that short-form video ads have in gaming environments if you get them right. By using the 6-second format, keeping the videos to the point, and effectively showcasing their products throughout, Lay’s were able to spread awareness and engage thousands of gamers in a way that was complimentary to the gameplay.” - Chaim Berko, Senior Programmatic Account Manager EMEA, Anzu

“In-game is dominating the Baltics! There’s no better way to showcase the intrinsic in-game opportunity than with a globally established brand like Lay’s. We continuously encourage brands to think about the unique gaming environment. Lay’s video perfectly blends into the game as it is short, includes distinctive images and the brand’s logo. We hope to see more FMCG brands dipping into in-game advertising. Let’s not forget that 80% of gamers drink or eat while gaming. These results scream FMCG!” -Gabriele Vileikyte, Product Manager, Eskimi

Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (“Nextech” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: EP2), a Metaverse Company and leading provider of augmented reality (“AR”) experience technologies, wayfinding technologies and 3D model services is pleased to announce a record-setting number of views for a single 3D/AR ad. The client, Hearst UK who publishes 21 brands including Good Housekeeping, Esquire, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar and Cosmopolitan used a 3D model created by Nextech’s technology of a Dr. Martens Boot for an ad campaign, which garnered over 1 million 3D model views on the site.
The ad used Nextech’s ARitize Swirl, a swirling (rotating) 3D asset on the header or page of an ecommerce website. In a few simple steps, any customer can create a fully interactive ARitize Swirl 3D/AR banner using their existing 3D models and embed them into their ecommerce website to create 6X higher purchase intent, increase conversions and click-through rates.
This successful client use by a major brand and agency paves the way for another revenue stream tied to ecommerce advertising by offering a simple no-code integrated way for the Company’s 3D models to be used for immersive ads on the web or on social sites, Tik Tok, Instagram, Snap and Meta.
Nextech AR CEO Evan Gappelberg commented, “ 1 million 3D model views on a single 3D model is HUGE!. By comparison Nextech has served up 6.2 million 3D model views for over 20,000+ 3D models without the swirl ad."
