MediaMarkt - a birthday celebration bringing retro gaming back to life
MediaMarkt – a birthday celebration bringing retro gaming back to life
To celebrate MediaMarkt’s 27th anniversary, we transformed the Gaming Zone into a space where classic gaming met a modern retail experience. Retro games, iconic equipment, competitions and creator-led events turned the zone into a place to spend time, not just a place to shop.
By combining in-store activations with online communication, we extended the campaign beyond the physical space of MediaMarkt stores and created an experience that connected offline and digital touchpoints.
Challenge
- Attracting visitors to the Gaming Zone, including customers who had not previously engaged with this space
- Encouraging customers to spend more time in-store
- Combining the nostalgia of classic gaming with the brand’s birthday campaign
Execution
- We brought retro gaming back to the Gaming Zone by introducing classic games on computers and adding equipment inspired by iconic gaming experiences
- A dedicated key visual was created and adapted across multiple touchpoints, including in-store materials, POS, instore TV and digital channels
- The campaign was extended into social media, supported by the “Piniata Pełna Okazji” competition app, which encouraged additional engagement
- We organised influencer events in Kraków and Katowice, creating additional reasons to visit the Gaming Zone and interact with the activation
- Ongoing support through helpdesk and Discord communication helped maintain engagement beyond the physical store experience
Effect
- The retro gaming experience attracted visitors and encouraged longer engagement with the Gaming Zone
- The “Piniata Pełna Okazji” competition generated strong interest among customers
- The activation supported increased store traffic during the campaign period
- Gaming Zone gained a new role as a space appealing both to retro gaming fans and customers discovering the area for the first time
