OKX and Manchester City Launch Interactive Avatar Campaign Featuring Top Players to Inspire Fans to "Play For the City"
Playforthecity.com allows fans to create their own bespoke avatars in seconds, giving them the ability to use their new avatars across 4,000 metaverse games and apps. By sharing their avatars on social media using #playforthecity fans are also entered into a prize draw for a chance to win epic Man City and OKX prizes.
"The metaverse experiences we've been developing with Manchester City represent a whole world of exciting new opportunities, and your avatar grants you access to these. This campaign is another example of how Manchester City and OKX are delivering on the promise of Web3 to enhance the fan experience and help people get closer to what OKX considers 'a new way to internet'."
"We're pleased to launch this exciting campaign with OKX and Yahoo today. Bringing together expertise from all three collaborators, we're able to offer Manchester City fans across the world the ability to connect and engage with the club in a unique and interesting new way and we hope fans enjoy the experience on offer."
The experience was created by Manchester City and OKX in collaboration with Yahoo, which utilised its premium content creation team and technology to bring the experience to life and spread the word to fans. Working with the Ready Player Me platform to build the bespoke AR and avatar experience, Yahoo created the hero video and will distribute the content through digital Out of Home (DOOH) locations as well as video, display and native formats across mobile, tablet and TV screens to inspire Manchester City fans to try it for themselves.
"We had a clear brief - to offer fans a fun, engaging and immersive experience that gives them new ways to interact with the team and players through digital touchpoints in the stadium, the city, and even the virtual world. Using Yahoo's experience in producing premium quality digital content and distributing it at scale directly to the club's target audience means we can help in forging deeper connections on digital platforms with their fans through new, interactive ways on match day and beyond."
This is the latest Metaverse experience brought to fans by OKX and Manchester City following the launch of a training course with Rúben Dias and a tactical masterclass with İlkay Gündoğan in the OKX Collective metaverse . May will see fans invited into the metaverse for exclusive experiences with Jack Grealish and Alex Greenwood .
