Sample Case Study
A public transit authority wanted to increase ridership while changing perceptions about commuting being boring.
The team used Influencer & Brand Collaboration to explore unexpected partnership opportunities, with the platform recommending Dungeons & Dragons (Wizards of the Coast).
The "Rails & Realms" campaign reimagined the transit map as a fantasy realm with each station becoming a unique location with its own lore. Commuters participated via an app that delivered story elements based on their routes.
By gamifying commuting through a beloved fantasy franchise, the campaign reached both regular commuters and gaming enthusiasts who wouldn't typically use public transit. The partnership generated an increase in evening ridership, and a significant boost in app downloads.
