    Roblox consulting for brands. Posts about Roblox brand campaigns.

    Here's how ZURU Toy Company went from NOVICE to EXPERT on Roblox. 1. Identified Roblox as a great platform to reach their core consumers. 2. Dove into the platform, gaining 1st-hand knowledge of Roblox from a player's perspective. 3. Selected a development partner, Novaly Studios, who had deep platform knowledge and shared their enthusiasm for the Rainbocorns IP 4. Adjusted their approach along the way, balancing creating a fun experience with their brand objectives 5. Worked closely with their developer, designing an experience that was fun and also true to their IP 6. Launched and iterated, gaining learnings and new user growth along the way. Results thus far: 6 million lifetime visits to Raise a Rainbocorn in only a few months. Read my interview with ZURU to learn more about their complete process: https://lnkd.in/g9A3m_xi Thanks to Francesca Sonand and Cushla Henry at ZURU for sharing the company's story.
