Case Studies

Most gamification stops at points, badges, and leaderboards — and quickly loses its spark. This playbook goes further. Drawing on Level Up powered by Agate’s decade of research and real-world work with leading brands across Southeast Asia, it lays out a structured framework for designing gamified marketing experiences that shape behavior and deliver measurable results across acquisition, engagement, and revenue.

Written for marketers, product managers, UX designers, and business leaders ready to treat gamification as strategy, not decoration.

What’s Inside

1. Know what motivates your audience. Design for real people, not an imaginary “average user,” using three complementary persona frameworks: HEXAD, Bartle, and Casual–Midcore–Hardcore.
2. Connect mechanics to business goals. Map every mechanic to a clear objective with the RGB Framework: Red for acquisition, Green for engagement, Blue for revenue.
3. Turn strategy into action. Move from theory to launch with the Shopee case study, cross-industry examples, a design checklist, and tear-out RGB mechanic cards.
