Skechers opened a new store in a shopping mall...in Roblox. Within the popular game Livetopia from Century Games, players can visit a virtual mall with a variety of stores, including one from Skechers. Skechers could have built their own experience in Roblox, but instead opted to integrate into Livetopia. This makes sense given how much traffic Livetopia gets on a regular basis. The Livetopia experience has impressive stats: - 4.4 billion lifetime visits - 1 - 2 million daily visits - 13 minute avg session time - 90% user rating Other brands that have shown up in Livetopia integrations include L'Oréal, Visa, Lunchables and AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS INC.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has a shop in Roblox NBA Avatar Catalog is a Roblox experience where players can customize their avatar with NBA gear from various teams while shooting hoops, completing quests, and earning badges. Think of it as a gamified, interactive store where players can try on and purchase NBA gear with Robux, Roblox's in-game currency. NBA Avatar Catalog stats: - 770k lifetime visits - 96% user rating - 5.8 min avg session length Players are not featured in the experience because this experience comes from the league. It would be cool if the league and player's association were able to work together on a joint experience. The experience has offered free UGC virtual items to attract players. Another brand to release a gamified shopping experience recently is adidas Other sports leagues in Roblox include the National Hockey League (NHL), National Football League (NFL), NASCAR. It will be interesting to see if other leagues jump in such as Major League Baseball (MLB), Major League Soccer, English Premier League, LALIGA. Want to learn more about Roblox and brands?

Spotted Warner Bros. Entertainment Aquaman video ads in Roblox.
Roblox just launched video ads (as a test) on their platform. Here's why this is huge, and what I'm noticing... 💰 Ad Revenue By offering video ads (instead of just static image billboards), Roblox is able to charge advertisers higher CPM rates, much like YouTube or TikTok 📈 2024 Revenue Priority Launching video ads in Q4 '23 keeps Roblox on track to scale advertising revenue in 2024, which was a key pillar of their growth story outlined by CFO Michael Guthrie and Chief Partnerships Officer Christina Wootton at the company's recent Investor Day 👀 Deeper Ad Engagement This is a win for brands who want to reach Roblox's 70M DAUs with the power of video, which can capture audience attention more effectively than static imagery 🗣️ Brand Awareness, Not Direct Response...Yet Video ads are good at raising top of funnel awareness, but marketers won't be able to attribute sales from these impressions until Roblox enables real-world commerce, which they will start testing in H2 2024 🎥 Premium Production Value As the Aquaman trailer below from Warner Bros. Entertainment / DC Comics shows, big-budget video assets can really stand out and impress viewers 🤩 Stars Power Just like any commercial, having celebrities featured attracts more interest from more people. There's a reason stars are paid a lot of money. It's because they drive awareness and sales 👂 Audio Experience Not Perfect The native audio in an experience can clash with the audio from the video ad, which seems like a mistake that leads to a poor user experience for players and brands What video ads have you seen on Roblox?

There are 275M+ views of Roblox on YouTube EVERY SINGLE DAY. Here's how YouTuber Mark Rober has found big success on Roblox: - Offering a reward of Free UGC at reaching the goal of 75K Likes. This has been effective in driving a strong user rating, which is at 93%. - Free UGC item that requires 30 minutes of playtime and leveling up, which boost session time that drives organic discovery via the Roblox algorithm. - An AFK (away from keyboard) mode that rewards players with a special in-game item for passively "playing." Again driving long session times helps the game get surfaced organically. Build a Rocket VS Mark Rober on Roblox has... - 6.3M visits - 19 minute session length - 93% user rating Those are all very strong numbers when compared with other branded experiences.

Mattel, Inc.'s Barbie maintained the top spot for branded Roblox experiences with 32.3M visits in November. That's the 2nd highest monthly total for a brand this year, coming in behind the 39.9M visits Barbie had just the month prior. The newest entrant with 5.9M visits (in only a few days) was YouTube creator Mark Rober's CrunchLabs. As Todd Lichten, Roblox's Head of Entertainment Partnerships, recently shared, there are 275M+ YouTube views of Roblox content every single day. So it makes sense that YouTuber Rober has been able to breakthrough in a big way. The former NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Apple engineer is following in the footsteps of other YouTuber creators such as pocket.watch's Ryan's Toys, Moonbug Entertainment's Blippi, and Misfits Gaming Group's partnership with KreekCraft & Karl Jacobs.
