Gamification is a new category this year because of its rapid rise in importance within loyaltyIn today’s digital and social world, consumers are much more discerning about how and where they spend their time online. The adoption of smartphones and tablets, the multi-screen consumption of media and the movement between devices based on the context of their use is fundamentally changing the way consumers interact and transact with brands. As a consequence, marketers need their digital marketing strategies to work harder in securing consumer attention and keep them engaged with their brand.

One of the biggest...one of the largest categories this year, which had to be seriously shortlisted, gamification is being used for everything from training to customer engagement. There are criticisms that it is often misinterpreted, but as it is a new phenomenon it is difficult to set many ground rules.With smartphones providing anytime anywhere access, the fundamental objective of gamification is to inspire and motivate individuals to perform better and achieve more in those activities in which they choose to participate. It supports positive changes in behaviour by tapping into a person’s psyche and addressing their unique needs and motivations.

The reasoning behind gamification...• Achievement – virtual rewards, points or tangible prizes

for achieving goals• Recognition – earning badges or tokens to demonstrate

status or participation levels or expertise, skills and capabilities

• Competition – ranking performance against other consumers by leveraging leaderboards

• Social collaboration – sharing achievements, reviews, providing recommendations and reinforcing that behaviour through rewards

We had a tremendous response to the new gamification category this year, and the ten finalists had to fight some stiff competition to make the final cut. We very much look forward to announcing the first gamification winner at the Gala Evening on June 9 – and watching this category go from strength to strength.

It’s not just a game...

This is serious business
