Engaging Young Padawans Online With Creative Play
Description
In this session, attendees will learn how brand marketers must adapt their techniques to a tech-savvy, rewards-oriented youth audience, otherwise known as “Generation Play.” The youth market craves entertainment experiences that sync with their digital lives and demand for creative play. To illustrate the new dynamic, Lucasfilm, Fuel and Soap will present an in-depth look into the creation of several casual games built in the Star Wars Universe, and hosted at StarWars.com. The presentation will explore how Lucasfilm sought to expand creative play and provide kids and families with more open, inventive experiences. Attendees will gain insight into the best ways to reach today’s young consumers through the development of deep, time-intensive digital entertainment experiences, and how they breed resonance and loyalty for brands looking to reach today’s most profit-yielding group.
