Success story
“What has surprised me is that there are so many possibilities. We started with the Christmas Calendar last year as our first project, and our game plan has developed.”
– Jakob Belmann, Marketing Coordinator, LEGOLAND Billund Resort
In December, LEGOLAND Billund ran a daily Advent Calendar. They had three motivators for this:
Given that LEGOLAND is an established brand and like many large companies, they have strict brand guidelines to follow. The Playable platform allows LEGOLAND to customize the campaigns so that they align with the guidelines.
The platform also helps LEGOLAND generate leads and permissions while letting them test other contexts.
“We have been using the Playable platform for generating permissions. But we’ve also been able to use the platform in other contexts like beta testing a Halloween campaign, so we’ve seen benefits from using the platform in different contexts. For example, we are testing how to improve the guest experience and create a closer link between the physical park and our digital content [like gamification]. For Halloween, we created a campaign using Playable games that park visitors could play while standing in queues for different rides. It worked, so our next step is expanding the games and game sites to each theme of the park.” – Alex Lange
Another reason the platform fits their needs is because Playable can support always-on campaigns.
“What has surprised me is that there are so many possibilities. We started with the Christmas Calendar last year as our first project, and our game plan has developed. We’ve been able to use the Playable platform on an ongoing basis, and we use the tests and insights to decide whether that experience works for our audience. The fact that it’s possible to use the platform throughout the year has been an eye opener.” – Jakob Belmann, Marketing Coordinator, LEGOLAND Billund Resort

“Game mechanics give us a way to listen to our customers’ preferences and use that information to direct products to the markets that they’ll perform best in. Gamification campaigns have also lowered our CPL and reduced a new customer’s first time to purchase. In addition to all of this, the data we gathered also enabled me to write a brief to our organization about what our audience wants from Masai.”
