A Peek into the Latest Trend: Brands Jumping on the Roblox Bandwagon
Amika beauty brand debuts on Roblox platform
In the digital realm, Amika, a hip New York hair care brand, isn't playing it safe anymore. They've teamed up with the innovative e-commerce company, Obsess, to launch the "Amikaverse" on Roblox, as announced in a recent press release.
In this immersive digital world, players get to pick their avatars and participate in entertaining mini-games. The Amikaverse also offers the chance to deck out your character with sassy hair accessories, all available for purchase, according to the announcement.
Amika is not alone in this quest. Bigger names such as Walmart, Threadless, and Adidas have already ventured into creating enthralling in-game experiences on Roblox over the past year.
The Amikaverse offers a myriad of choices. You can select one of three characters: The Stylist, The Gardener, or The Recycler, each guiding you through an engaging 3D adventure. Your character's choice determines the challenges you'll face, such as finding the perfect solution to another character's hair mishap, harvesting ingredients to brew Amika's magic hair concoctions, or gathering recyclable materials for environmentally-friendly packaging.
Shannon Otto, senior director of consumer engagement at Amika, stated, "Roblox is the perfect platform for us to expand our community. The Amikaverse embodies our brand philosophy and caters to our modern customers. From our salon roots to our love for the planet, everything comes alive in a delightfully immersive way on the Amikaverse, and we can't wait to join forces with Obsess as we establish our presence on Roblox."
Obess, too, has been successful in capturing other retailers and brands such as J. Crew, Crate and Barrel, Crocs, and Alo Yoga. They've even introduced a tool in April 2023 to help brands create their digital stores. Despite the popularity of Obsess, some retailers are opting for Obsess's competitor, Emperia, to craft digital representations of their stores and brands. Brands like Tatcha, Bloomingdale's, and Lacoste are among Emperia's partners.
However, searching the web doesn't provide concrete evidence of Obsess partnering with brands like Slingshot, which has partnered with entities like Arbitrum, Ready Gamer, Story Protocol, Boss Studios, Motoverse, and Lamborghini. To confirm Obsess's collaborations, it's essential to check their official announcements or recent press releases.
