Mountain Dew is the unofficial drink of gamers…or at least that's the stereotype, right? So, why did the energy drink version of Mountain Dew called Game Fuel end up failing? Mountain Dew is essentially the base of the food pyramid for people who spend marathon gaming sessions in front of a computer or console. The practical reason is obviously because Mountain Dew has more caffeine than Coke or Pepsi. And while not as much caffeine as coffee, a packaged drink has less effort and minimal upkeep. Caffeine consumption is something that all professionals enjoy but especially computer programmers in the mid-90s during the start of the Internet age. The direct connection to computer culture can be traced to an integral software development and coding manual published in 1995 that said one of the main ways a manager can support his programmers “is simply buy large quantities of Mountain Dew.” But when does the relatively cheap, brightly colored, caffeinated, and fun beverage get directly involved with the esports and gaming community? That would be in 2005 when Mountain Dew ran a promotion called “every 10 minutes” where they gave away Xbox 360 consoles. But the more famous linkage was in 2007 when Mountain Dew promoted the launch of Halo 3 with a new flavor called Game Fuel. So, here's where the story of Mountain Dew, gamers, and a product called Game Fuel really starts. The energy drink version of Mountain Dew Game Fuel (or should I saw MTN Dew Amp Game Fuel) wasn't launched until January 2019, but that limited-edition flavor history, annual gaming-themed promotions, strategic partnerships with game developers, alignment with gaming personalities, consistently increasing esports sponsorships, is important in that MTN Dew didn't overlook the community cost barrier to entry into the esports and gaming market. Even though MTN Dew would be seen as one of the positive non-endemic brands that didn't simply “buy a seat at the table” only after all the writing was on the wall that esports had massive potential...why didn't MTN Dew Game Fuel work out?

Candy Corporal Zack Pearlman sips and spits out Mountain Dew Game Fuel with special guest Erin Steeby
I decided to attend VidCon in Anaheim this July. It was one of the few events that I went to as an attendee, not as a speaker. VidCon is short for Video Conference. I first read about VidCon several years ago and thought it was such a genius idea to create an event that brings YouTube Celebrities to their fans, a niche that was not being fulfilled. Someone was quick enough to seize that opportunity and created an event for it. It turned out that that someone and his brother are Hank and John Green. You may have heard of John Green who is also the author of the book I love, the Fault in Our Stars, a NYT bestselling book and a popular movie. In 2018, they sold this event to ViaCom. I am sure that Hank and John are doing very well financially. Here is the key reason I attended the event: I’m always curious about how consumer brands market to younger generations. VidCon is a great option for me to understand younger demographics, to see various brands’ approaches to reach out to the next generation of millennials, and to check out video content creators, YouTubers. Nike, Facebook, Instagram, Nickelodeon, NBC Universal, Mountain Dew Game Fuel and more all had big exhibit spaces at the Expo Hall. It was challenging to win young audiences’ mind shares on-site. Every brand was working very hard to make sure their booths stood out. Canon and HobbyKids Adventures made an impression on me As a B2B marketer working closely with sales, I’m all about sales and closing deals. Being able to sell products at a conference is music to my ears. Two brands made an effort to sell their products, while creating an interactive, fun and engaging experience for their attendees. Canon Camera: Canon’s exhibit space was small (30x40) compared to other major brands. They used the theme “Glamping” to design their booth. They brought in an Airstream, a type of RV, and set up a campground-like atmosphere. They set up interactive areas inside and outside the Airstream that allowed attendees to pose and take pictures using Canon cameras. In addition, they set up a table called the camp store to showcase a wide array of digital cameras. They staffed subject matter experts at the table to talk to anyone who was interested in learning more about cameras’ features. In addition to existing product lines, they also showcased their proof-of-concept products such as Ivy Cliq, an instant mobile camera printer, and Ivy REC, a Clippable, Go Anywhere Camera. Their approach is no different than any other brands, but the key difference was the ability to buy! If you wanted to buy their cameras, you COULD! Except for Ivy REC which was not yet available, you could pretty much buy the products they showcased on-the-spot. Hobby Kids Adventures: Another brand did something similar and made an impression on me was Hobby Kids Adventures. You may not have heard of HobbyKidsTV. HobbyKidsTV, a family-run children's channel with over 3 million subscribers on YouTube. It’s a low-budget Disney channel, but the content is created by one family. The parents and 3 kids have been on YouTube since 2013. Their youngest child has been on YouTube since he was born. He didn’t know what life was like outside YouTube. Totally reminds me of The Truman Show. I first read about HobbyKids TV in Wired magazine, HobbyKidsTV, YouTube, and the New World of Child Stars. These children are certainly different kinds of child stars than the mainstream media child stars that I am familiar with. They didn’t have a big exhibit space, but they certainly knew their audiences well. In their little space, they created 3 obstacles for their young audiences to play through. The 1st obstacle was a Robot Bop Bag: You could punch Robot Boppin Bag and it would bounce back. The 2nd one was called ‘Slime Toss’, in which balls were tossed into a bucket. The 3rd obstacle was a Disc Shooter in which you use a wrist launcher, it’s like a hand gun that ties to your wrist, to shoot discs into targets. Once you played the 3 games, you could get a free T-shirt with your choice of Hobbykids Adventure designs. These games were designed to engage with their young audiences and were strategically tied to their merchandise. They showcased their toys and if you are a fan of HobbyKidsTV, you could also buy these toys on-site. Both Canon and Hobby Kids Adventures booths were fun, interactive and engaging, just like many other booths. What I really liked about them was that they also sold products on-site. They made an effort to build brand awareness, engage with their audience and allow purchases if the audience was ready to buy. It covered the whole stack of the purchase funnel from awareness to purchase. I love it. Are you ready to get a haircut at VidCon? AXE: There was another brand worth mentioning. AXE, a deodorant brand, took the same approach with a different twist. They brought in a big RV right there on the exhibit floor. It made a big presence! Inside the RV was a barber shop which gave boys and men haircuts. Yes, you hear me right, haircuts. Rather than pushing their hair care products to the attendees, they offered people haircut on-site and used the opportunity to showcase products such as shampoos, gels, and color styling pastes. I thought that was a subtle way to educate young adults on how to look stylish with AXE products. Outside the RV, they set up a game zone which allowed boys to play video games and chill. At the same time, they were proactively giving away free samples. If you didn’t get a haircut, well, you could try free samples at home. What about the other booths? NBC universal’s booth was very traditional. You could take a photo with a People’s Choice Award trophy, but so what? I don’t think they fully understood the attendees. Facebook promoted their TV channel called Facebook Watch. Well, the booth was grand and beautiful, but I was not clear about the specific call-to-action. Nickelodeon’s booth was fun, with multiple kids’ activities and play zones, and made a push for their big new movie, Dora the Explorer. Adobe had a booth as well. The theme was about #createyourstory, but the booth experience didn’t align with the theme. You lined up to get into a room. Before getting into the room, you chose one of the 5 characters which best resembled you on a tablet. When you walked into the room, there was just a big TV screen with the character that you chose to imitate your movements. How did that tie with the theme #createyourstory? I didn’t get it. However, they did make an effort to show content creators their product called Adobe Rush which is a video editing tool. I also got a chance to talk to aspiring YouTubers and attendees. They are very different than my target audiences of B2B marketers. YouTube is not only the place they share their content, but also the place they seek entertainment and receive information and knowledge. Yes, I mean knowledge. Many told me that they only watch Netflix and YouTube, they don’t watch major networks or cables. If you are trying to reach young audiences, YouTube is certainly a channel you can’t miss. Is VidCon worth attending? It depends. I went because I wanted to check out a different conference and demographic. If you are an aspiring young content creator or have children who love YouTube, this might be a good conference to go to. Have you attended any fun and unique conferences? If you do, please let me know. I’d love to check them out. Again, let’s continue to learn from each other. Take care and have a great day!

Sad about Game of Thrones ending this week? The battle for the throne lives on - online. Too hot to play football or cricket outdoors? The video game version is a comfortable option, and lets you pick the players, uniform and strategy. The world of e-sports is a promising one, and growing fast. It goes by its own rules, big money is at stake, and 320 million people globally are hooked on to it. It is growing in popularity in India too thanks to a large community of geeks, gamers and developers. A fantasy sports start-up just became India’s first gaming unicorn. But with this popularity come fears around addiction and violence. In fact, an Indian state temporarily banned gamers from accessing a popular battle royale game. In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we speak to the owner of an e-sports company, a professional gamer who doubles as a cosplayer, and a cyber de-addiction expert. We ask them where the e-sports industry is headed, how you can earn money as a gamer, and how worried we should be about the mental health concerns around it. Presenter: Devina Gupta Contributors: Abhay Sharma, co-founder GamingMonk; Aorin Shariyari, professional gamer and cosplayer; Dr Yatan Pal Singh Balhara, cyber de-addiction specialist.
