The Big Game Came to Us (Super Bowl LVII)

Early in 2023, Super Bowl LVII took place at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. State Farm, a major US insurance company, took it as an opportunity to revolutionise how businesses use naming rights to drive audience awareness. Departing from the traditional Big Game TV, their strategy centred on a TikTok-focused, social media-driven approach to engage with fans both at the game and watching at home. 

Teaming up with notable TikTokers including Khaby Lame, one of TikTok’s most-followed users, The Big Game Came to Us was born. State Farm enlisted Infinity Marketing Team, a member of the Pico Group, to oversee the project’s concept development, creative design, social media strategy, influencer management and execution.

State Farm Gamerhood Challenge

A brand new ‘gaming neighbourhood’, State Farm Gamerhood Challenge was the groundbreaking result of US insurance giant State Farm’s aim to connect with Gen Z and millennial audiences. Akin to an interactive gameshow, it featured a cast of popular streamers dealing with a litany of unpredictable-but-insurable events such as burst pipes, blown-out windows and UFO crashes, presenting a challenging target audience with an entertaining way to learn about the virtues of insurance whilst playing their own related trivia rounds.

Bringing the concept to fruition was Infinity Marketing Team (IMT), a member of the Pico Group, appointed by State Farm to oversee everything from strategy and concept development to design, production, social media strategy and talent sourcing.

Team State Farm Football Find

A major player in US insurance, State Farm is constantly looking to foster brand affinity and generate sales leads in emerging markets. Of those, millennials and Gen Z represent one of vast potential; but reaching this target audience would require a truly innovative approach.

Thus was born Team State Farm Football Find (TSFFF), a trailblazing four-day hybrid campaign that combined augmented reality (AR) with live interaction to create an exciting gamified experience. State Farm appointed Infinity Marketing Team, a member of Pico Group, to oversee much of the project, including concept development, creative design, social media strategy, app development and management, all the way to build and execution.

HP Antarctic Dome at Coachella

Coachella, one of the world’s biggest music and art festivals, returned in April 2022 after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. Also making a return was the landmark HP Antarctic Dome – a mobile geodesic dome – which premiered REGEN, an immersive 360-degree multisensory journey combining tech, art and music.

REGEN gained extra attention by being minted into a 1:1 NFT art piece which became the largest 1:1 Art Piece ever traded on the Solana chain. It amplified the hype surrounding the festival’s music, HP’s brand and its sustainability message to a worldwide audience. HP’s presence at Coachella was conceptualised, activated and operated by Infinity Marketing Team (IMT), a member of the Pico Group.
