Case Study - G2A.COM - Marca Sport Weekend
→ Context
From October 11 to 13, we partnered with G2A.COM at Marca Sport Weekend in Málaga—a citywide event celebrating sports with exhibitions, activities, and appearances by top athletes like Mireia Belmonte, Saúl Craviotto, and Koke Resurrección.
→ Proposal
G2A.COM hosted a booth at the Centro Pompidou, open to anyone who wanted to stop by. Our goal? To create a memorable experience for every visitor with fun and engaging activities.
We started with a racing simulator where guests could challenge content creator Rotren to a time trial.
We also set up a PlayStation 5 area for EA FC 25 matches.
On top of that, we brought in popular content creators like Lluna Clark, who streamed live IRL, Pablo Kilo, who wowed us with freestyle skills, and Rubiales. Together, they have a combined audience of over 1.5 million followers on social media.
The star attraction of the booth? The air machine, where participants could win G2A.COM merch, discount codes, or the ultimate prize—a PlayStation 5.
To include those who couldn’t attend in person, we ran a PS5 giveaway on X. With creators like Imantado and Aroyitt helping to promote it, we shared a tweet featuring a virtual air machine. Participants had to screenshot the PS5 ticket and follow G2A.COM’s account on X to enter.
→ Value
For years, Play the Game has been managing this event end-to-end, handling everything from negotiations to production and logistics while collaborating closely with the client and their partners. We’re always looking to innovate and push our ideas further, delivering activities that draw in crowds and boost visibility and engagement for the brand.
→ Results
Despite heavy rain, the booth drew a large crowd who enjoyed every activity, making the event a huge success.
Content shared by invited creators and G2A.COM’s social accounts generated over 1 million impressions.
The PS5 giveaway on X also performed exceptionally well, with over 350,000 impressions and around 840 entries.
In short, G2A.COM’s presence at the event brought significant visibility and engagement, strengthening the brand’s connection with its audience and driving sales in the short, medium, and long term.

From Play the Game we proposed VISA to participate in the Queens League, the women's competition of the Kings League. From our point of view, it made sense as we were adding female athletes and new audiences, millennials and Gen-Z.
But it wasn't just about sponsorship with a logo, it was about creating relevant and organic trigger points for the audience.
In order to reach the target proposed by Burger King, at Play The Game we proposed to communicate the campaign through content creators to generate not only notoriety but also relevance and engagement, as well as a link with the superhero territory as far as possible.
During the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Burger King wanted to take the opportunity to indirectly link itself to the football territory (indirectly as McDonald's is the sponsor of the world cup), with the main objective of being in the conversation and generating relevance thanks to the event.
In Christmas 2022 - 2023, Burger King asked us to help them with one of their flagship promotions "PillaFijo", which ran between December 1st and January 8th.
From El Pozo King they trusted Play the Game again for this new event both in sponsorship and activation.
Working with the client, we proposed continuing with what worked for us in 2021, but new actions to increase visibility and engagement.
