Outcomes

The collaboration between Avakin Life, a popular fashion-based mobile game with over 200 million registered users, and Fat Joe, a renowned rapper and style icon with 5.8 million Instagram followers, has led to remarkable outcomes, showcasing the power of cross-collaboration in the digital and physical merchandise space. The introduction of in-game merchandise, coupled with the sale of a physical cassette t-shirt design through Fat Joe's store and the PlanetPlay store, has not only bridged the gap between virtual and real-world fashion but has also contributed to environmental causes, with donations reflected by the CO2 KG number on the product. This initiative has resonated well with the audience, leading to a significant increase in total revenue, with a staggering 30x increase in items sold, highlighting the commercial success of the collaboration.

The event has had a profound impact on user engagement and growth metrics for Avakin Life. The campaign has reactivated over 6 million users, marking an increase of 458%, and driven new downloads by 1600%, making it the highest performing event on the Google Play Store during the period of activation. The event also saw a 58.7% increase in new user acquisitions and a 104.8% increase in sales of one individual item, alongside a 6% overall sales increase.


These figures not only demonstrate the event's effectiveness in re-engaging former players but also its capacity to attract a substantial new audience, solidifying the event's status as a landmark achievement in the gaming and entertainment industry.
