In a move that will grab people’s attention Gucci has roped in Manchester City star Jack Grealish into their Roblox experience, this move materializing highlights the worlds of virtual and physical gaming merging together. An avatar version of Jack Grealish will appear in the virtual “Gucci Town” where he will be seen donning the Gucci “Good Game” capsule collection and wearing a digital version of his signature headband.

The game finishes with “GG”, or “good game” which is a typical colloquial sign-off phase used by gamers, this phrase is used in order to acknowledge the other player’s performances.

The launch of this initiative was underlined by the company’s desire to market the product over driving sales. Gucci’s Roblox success lies in its prioritization of community-driven brand-building over product sales and their latest move of roping in a sports star would see them tapping a massive fanbase that belongs to two worlds which is the virtual and physical gaming space.

Sports celebrities particularly football players have amassed a huge following on their social media channels owing to their extravagant lifestyles and habits. Brands/sporting organizations are always on the lookout for finding better means through which they can increase their brand visibility hence they have started using Sports athletes particularly football players as a promotional tool in bid to reach a wider audience.

Utilizing famous athletes as a brand promotional tool yield’s concrete result as the brand will have access to the athlete’s audience base which spans across different social media platforms.
