Advantage Collectors! Social Advergame
HSBC Turkey tasked us with bringing their Advantage Credit Card brand closer to the 18-30 age group. Using the Facebook application platform we have created a social card exchange game with a 40-card set with pictures of different "Advantage" objects (shoes, bag, plane etc.) on them.
Players, dealt with 10 random cards turned the cards into valid ordered combinations, win points and receive new ones. The social feature, that made the game a success, was that the game allowed for exchanges among Facebook Friends. The more friends were in the game the more one's chances were to reach higher points.
The game turned into a social gaming phenomenon overnight and made over 100,000 fans for HSBC in only two months. The campaign has been recognized as on of the top four online financial service marketing projects at the prestigious 2008 NYF Midas Awards.
