Asahi GoodDay Case Study
As a global brand Asahi has a phenomenal reach with products available in over 90 countries and growing. This reach and growth are a result of acquisitions but also innovation. This case study explores just that, the company’s expansion into new markets and their desire to innovate. A beverage created especially for the Filipino market, Good Day cultured milk.
The launch planned for this expansion was sidetracked by the onset of Covid. This is when the company decided to adopt technology and host an equally grand launch virtually.
The Objectives
- Not knowing how tech-savvy the audience was going to be and where they will be attending from required a solution that would work on as many devices as possible.
- Accessibility is key. A web-based platform that did not require downloading or installing.
- They wanted a fully customizable platform where they could create special environments to reflect the parent company’s Japanese heritage in terms of design, language, feel, and appearance.
- Creating a celebration with a mix of local fun and entertainment. Required the ability to broadcast the live performance of two of the Philippines’ most popular bands hired for the event.
- The senior leadership team wanted to build a virtual world for the event, with multiple virtual spaces including a virtual press room. Good Day milk was a milestone of regional and international importance; they wanted to have a dedicated space for journalists’ Q&A sessions.
MootUp Solutions
- As a true metaverse platform, MootUp is accessible on any device and OS from smartphones, tablets, computers, and even modern VR/ AR headsets and from anywhere in the world.
- The product’s roots were reflected right from the first staging area. The virtual world the Asahi designer team recreated the Japanese airport arrivals terminal. This included branding, booths, background music, video walls, chatbots and frequent live announcements.
- Watercooler moments. Attendees could serendipitously run into each other and start a conversation through live chat, video and audio calls, private messages or join private audio zones where audio is not broadcasted to everyone in the space.
- For full diversity and inclusion, attendees had 4 options to choose from when deciding how to be presented in the environment. Fully customizable 3D characters, video avatars, hologram avatars, head and shoulders if using a virtual reality headset.
- All the gamified experiences offered during as well as messages sent, time spent in the virtual world, interactions, and much more, could be tracked and measured using the integrated metrics and analytics system.
The Results
- “By utilizing MootUp, the event did not only engage participants; it also unified them, mimicking a physical gathering with people moving around and interacting with one another.” Marke-tech.apc Teddy Combasa.
- “The event truly gave me a good day!” Ruth de la Cruz (Lifestyle and travel blogger).
