Abstract

In this chapter, I define six factors that determine the conceptualization of persuasive strategies for advergames. Advergames are understood here as “digital games specifically designed for a brand with the aim of conveying an advertising message” (De la Hera Conde-Pumpido, In Press). These six factors have been used for the analysis of the advergame Tem de Tank (DDB Amsterdam & Flavour, 2010), which was launched in 2010 by Volkswagen to introduce the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion. The reason for selecting this game as a case study for this chapter is that, although the advergame's goals were properly defined, the game contains, in my opinion, a series of problems in terms of persuasion. Therefore, this game is a perfect case study to exemplify how the factors presented here can be useful to identify problems in the persuasive strategy of an advergame.
