The title will be: A Brand New Playground - Building Brands in the Digital Era
As I wanted to share the contents in an early stage please feel free to download and share the free summary (demo). You can find it HERE.
The main topic of the book is how games can be used to achieve marketing objectives in the digital era.
The first chapter basically describes the different platforms, genres and provides a historical overview of games throughout the past.
The second chapter describes the consumers that play games. Ten years ago it was merely kids and teenagers playing games, but the past five years we have seen that mothers and elderly are playing online games more and more.
The third chapter reveals a lot of cases that support objectives within the marketingmix, on product-, price-, place, personnel and promotional matters.
The fourth and final chapter reveals how games can be put to use within the field of Brand Management and Marketing on a theoretical level. I have developed three models that help agencies, organizations and brands to develop concepts that build bridges between them and the target audience.
Amongst them are the Branding Checklist, The Brand Play model and the CoCha-model (gotcha!).

Hi Bart,
ReplyDeleteI just found your website and it is really interesting! I can't wait for the english version, any idea when is going to hit the bookstores or amazon?
Hello there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your interest. I hope the book in English will be available towards August 2011. It is currently being translated, then I have to go through it oncemore, maybe re--write some stuff, then we have to design it, print it and have a publisher publish it... ;-) So bare with me.
Meanwhile subscribe to the BrandNewGame group on Linkedin if you want to be updated automatically on postings.
Cheers!
