For a long time you can see the success of campaigns that include gamification, that is: the use of game mechanics to encourage participation in non-recreational activities. It is about creating fun experiences to change the way people think or act, and in all this, Rémy Bastien has extensive experience, thanks to his collaborations in social projects and advertising campaigns integrating new technologies with digital marketing.

In this course you will learn to stimulate playful thinking through gamification, interactive mechanics and the use of new narratives applied in a creative concept for an advertising or social campaign, which will serve to encourage the user to action.

FAQs

Gamification means using game dynamics and mechanics to motivate behaviors and enhance experiences in non-game contexts like digital marketing, boosting user and customer engagement and participation.

Gamification applies game elements to non-game activities; advergames are video games created for advertising purposes; and playful design aims to turn everyday experiences into playful interactions, without necessarily having clear goals or rules.

The course is designed for people with intermediate knowledge of digital marketing or design but is also accessible to motivated beginners eager to dive into gamification, interactive storytelling, and applied technologies.

You’ll learn how to implement gamification strategies in advertising and marketing, design playful experiences, integrate interactive narratives, and analyze examples from video games, board games, and transmedia campaigns.

No prior video game development experience is needed. The course focuses on applying game principles and mechanics in non-game and marketing contexts.

All you need is internet access, a digital device (PC, tablet, or smartphone), and a willingness to learn. It’s recommended to be familiar with digital marketing platforms and basic tools like Google Trends.

The course teaches you how to design advertising campaigns using game mechanics, rewards, challenges, and storytelling to boost motivation and audience engagement.
