🎮 What happens when you combine strategic sweepstakes management with world-class hospitality? Record-breaking results. Over six months, we worked with hashtag#GMRClient Microsoft to develop and execute a global sweepstakes campaign reaching Xbox console users across 42 countries. From strategy to a custom-built entry website, we created an experience that captured the excitement around Forza Horizon 6's launch. The result? The highest entry volume of any Xbox promotion to date. But here's where it gets different. GMR didn't stop at driving entries. We owned the entire winner journey—from secure data management and pre-trip coordination to on-the-ground hospitality in Tokyo. We asked winners about their needs. We handled every detail. When you combine a record-breaking campaign with exceptional execution, winners don't just enter sweepstakes—they become brand advocates. That's the full-service experiential difference. #EventMarketing #ExperientialMarketing #PromotionalCampaigns
