On Blyk, game developers & distributors can uniquely target youth; building awareness of consoles & games through mobile.

Tell us about the Opportunity / What is it?

Blyk is the new media channel for reaching and engaging 16-24s through their mobile phones. For young people, Blyk is an exclusive mobile phone network which links them up with the brands they like and gives them free texts and minutes every month.

Build awareness of games and consoles, identify & convert specialist interest groups & gamers and generate calls to action to get members to review the game.

How does it work?

Blyk leverages the dominant mobile behaviour of young people: messaging.

"Do you want an exclusive preview of Game x which goes on sale for the X-BOX 360 on Monday. Y/N?"

A wide variety of clients across a range of sectors, from 20th Century Fox, Coca-cola and L'Oreal to Nat West, Boots,COI as well as Sky Box Office. Sky's media objective was to drive subscriptions to the Sky Box Office service the night of the Hatton vs Mayweather fight; please see attached case study.
