What will Doritos look like in the year 2077? To find out, we teamed up with the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 (the most anticipated game of the decade) to deliver an influencer kit that looked like it came straight out of the game. Shrouded in layers of discovery, influencers received a Fuel Cell from Night City–the game setting–powered by the delicious crunch of Doritos 3D. Our goal was to create an authentic experience that felt like it was a seamless part of the game and resonated with hardcore gamers. Marketing to this demographic is tricky; they’re skeptical of marketing and advertising, but receptive when it’s done right. We started by taking a deep dive into the game to understand its aesthetic and story. We used human-centered design principles to develop an end-to-end user journey from pre-delivery to eating Doritos 3D. The immersive experience was designed to feel like an authentic part of the Cyberpunk universe with a surprise reveal of Doritos 3D. Our Fuel Cell was made up of multiple layers and each layer contained a different surprise leading up to the ultimate surprise: Doritos 3D. Here’s how it worked. First, gamers received a custom mailer containing the “radioactive” Fuel Cell.
