Driving 2,000+ NFT Mints in a 1-Week Web3 Quest
The Challenge: Boosting Player Participation in Web3 Gaming
OuterLife, an immersive open-world MMORPG backed by industry leaders like PlayWay and GameSwift, had a strong foundation. However, they faced a common hurdle in the congested Web3 gaming market: transforming passive interest into active player participation and sustained NFT engagement.
OuterLife needed a strategic partner who could help them solve these pain points:
- Low Engagement on Key Platforms: Stand out on questing/loyalty platforms and design quests that truly capture community attention and drive action.
- Lack of NFT Engagement: Drive long-term NFT engagement by converting player interest into actual ownership and retention, not just passive observation.
- Limited Reach: Maximize visibility and reach within the Web3 ecosystem to attract new players.
- Inconsistent Referrals: Collaborate with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to build genuine curiosity and drive high-quality referrals.
Our Solution: Strategic Quests & Targeted Web3 KOL Marketing
Zingy Labs became a strategic partner for OuterLife, deploying and scaling a 1-week "Missions to Mars" quest campaign. We worked as an extension of their team, strategically combining compelling reward systems, targeted Web3 KOL marketing, and real-time performance tracking to deliver remarkable results. The campaign not only boosted numbers but also fueled competition, drove NFT engagement, and strengthened OuterLife's presence in the competitive Web3 space.
