ABOUT

Goiko Grill, Spain’s fastest-growing hamburger chain, wanted to connect with a highly engaged audience—gamers—who spend more than 40% of their time immersed in video games. The brand sought an innovative way to grab their attention and introduce Goiko’s products to them in a relevant and memorable way.

The concept was bold and unique: Hacking Real Food Into the Gaming World. Goiko Grill decided to leverage the world of online gaming to reach players in a completely unexpected way. They partnered with three of Spain's top professional gamers—TheToreteGG1, Stratus, and Tehsinapsis—who have millions of followers across platforms like Twitch and YouTube. These pro gamers infiltrated online games, creating real-time promotions by writing Goiko Grill’s messages on virtual walls with gunshots. It wasn’t just advertising; it was part of the game itself.

To make this campaign even more interactive, the brand invited players and online viewers to take screenshots of the game walls with the Goiko Grill promotions and share them on social media using the hashtag #GoikoHungryField. If they did, they could win free food from Goiko Grill, creating an engaging cross-platform experience.

In just 6 hours, the campaign generated 3,880,971 media impressions and sparked a 470% increase in interactions with the brand. The campaign became a trending topic, engaging not just players, but their entire online communities.

This campaign perfectly bridged the gap between the world of gaming and the food industry, creating a fun, interactive experience that spoke directly to its target audience. With its innovative use of gaming platforms and engagement tactics, Goiko Grill successfully reached a massive, active, and highly relevant audience, all while making their brand stand out in an unexpected, disruptive way.
