Brands will seek to become tightly integrated into a user’s natural online and offline behaviors. One area of opportunity rising to the top is both Gaming and Esports. While select P&G brands have been experimenting with gaming & esports\, there is not a clear set of strategies for brands to deploy let alone a playbook to scale across the company. In general\, awareness of the gaming world is low within P&G and it represents a massive (largely untapped) user group. \nBusiness Challenge / Needs Definition:\nP&G categories & brands would like to dive deep into the world of gaming in order to better understand why\, where & how brands can play. How can participating in and around eSports\, Live Game Streaming and Mobile/PC/Console games unlock new consumer engagement models? How can P&G brands integrate in ways that are both useful\, interesting and deliver something that makes the audience’s experience better than it would have been without the brand’s involvement? Who are the major players\, startups\, & partners that can help P&G not only activate but also form category specific gaming strategies? How can a Gaming and eSports Strategy help address business challenges or consumer barriers (e.g. unreachables\, point of market entry\, incremental reach\, relevance\, awareness among new\ntarget\, etc.)? How can P&G think about short and long term strategies in Gaming? \nIn order to answer these questions\, the P&G Signal Accelerator is organizing a Gaming & Esports Summit in Cincinnati in January/February 2020. The goal of the summit is not only to educate and inspire but most importantly set participants up to ACT on opportunities and launch pilots. At the gaming summit we will have a mix of speakers\, startup/partner pitches and workshops covering the following examples: \n\nGaming type demos (playing\, streaming & eSports) & experiences (i.e.\, a live tournament)\nGaming experts and key opinion leader roundtables\nVideo game streaming providers + startups enabling activation\neSports team and tournament organizers + startups helping brands participate\nIn-game advertising technology partners\nGaming activation & strategy workshops\n\n  \nKey Objectives for the Gaming Summit \n\nDeep dive of the gaming & Esports space\, players in the ecosystem\, audience demographics\, & key trends.\nUnderstand role of brands & best-in-class case studies across: eSports\, Streaming\, Mobile/Console/PC/VR/AR game play.\nDiscover current and emerging solutions/technologies for engaging gamers.\nLearn how to experiment in gaming\, how brands can reach gaming fans\, & steps to develop a gaming strategy\n\nRelevant Technology Domains May Include\, but are not Limited to\, the Following: \n\neSports\nGame Streaming\nGaming Influencers\nGaming Agencies\nTournament Organizers\nMobile Gaming\nPC Gaming\nConsole Gaming\nVR/AR Gaming\nIn-game Advertising & Sponsored Content\n\nThe Ask:\nFor this brief\, we are looking to pull together both partners and thought leaders together in order to develop and begin to run experiments in the Gaming and Esports domains. All ideas and submissions will be fully reviewed.
