Avakin Life X Fat Joe

In November 2023, Lockwood, in collaboration with PlanetPlay and Fat Joe released exclusive Fat Joe items in Avakin LIfe. This innovative feature not only brought Fat Joe’s style into the game, enhancing the user experience, but also served a greater cause. Each purchase contributed to the fight against climate change, blending entertainment with environmental activism.

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.

About the Partnership
In April 2023 during Earth Week, Fishing Clash, launched an in-game live op called “the Teeny Tiny Truth”. It encouraged players to successfully reach a designated level in game. This achievement was linked to a donation made to a New Zealand based NGO, WAI Wanaka, focused on the preservation of freshwater bio-diversity and ecosystems.
With a link in-game, players were invited to learn more about the project at PlanetPlay.com. At the same time players earned a collectible badge for taking part which awarded them a special discount on an exclusive Fishing Clash item bundle listed in PlanetPlay's marketplace.
