Unlocking the biggest sports opportunities for brands on Roblox
Immersive platform, Roblox, offers brands access to 89 million daily active users, most of which are Gen Z and Alpha, yet many brands fail to realise its potential as a fan engagement tool. Users are spending on average over 2 hours per day on the platform, spent $2.7 billion in 2023 and undertook 165 billion avatar outfit changes. Let’s discuss how brands can get it right! What you’ll learn:
- Why and how should you engage natively and authentically with immersive audiences to build superfans of your brand?
- How to unlock Roblox’s US$300m potential earned media value for your brand.
- With nearly half of Roblox users being women, what other opportunities are brands missing?
