MASTERCARD GAMERS8​

THE LAND OF HEROES​

Challenge

When partnering with Gamers8, Mastercard wanted to connect with the youth and gaming community, connect people to their passions, and unlock opportunities. ‘The Land of Heroes’ activation is a collection of unique experiences that rewards the most dedicated and hardcore gamers in the scene. The reality for media targeting is that no two gamers are the same; they have different motives and levels of dedication…but the targeting abilities within platforms can’t make this distinction.

Solution

Mastercard pioneered identity-based targeting through Dentsu’s Merkury solution. Here, we unlocked the ability to go beyond platform interest targeting and reach true hardcore gamers that "Play to compete" , "spend more than 1 hour gaming every day", "buy games or do in-game purchases and upgrades" . "own and upgrade their gaming consoles"

Result

The targeted approach using Carat's Merkury tool resulted in a more efficient cost per view (CPV) by 10%, a 5% increase in view-through rate (VTR), and a 5% improvement in cost per thousand impressions (CPM), underscoring the effectiveness of the identity-based targeting strategy deployed by Mastercard in collaboration with Gamers8.
