NEIGHBOR Launches 'DreamCore Creator Hub' to Boost Engagement

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, NEIGHBOR Co., Ltd., based in Chiyoda City, Tokyo, has unveiled an innovative new service called 'DreamCore Creator Hub'. This platform aims to enhance timely and efficient marketing strategies by enabling businesses, municipalities, and advertising agencies to effortlessly create engaging mini-games without the complexities typically associated with game development.

With the integration of artificial intelligence, users can chat their way through the game creation process. The platform builds on a robust community of over 3,000 registered users, connected through 'DreamCore', fostering collaboration between creators and clients. NEIGHBOR handpicks suitable creators for each project, handling everything from production to delivery. Clients merely need to convey their ideas, minimizing their workload while receiving a fully developed mini-game within as little as one to two weeks—starting from approximately 100,000 yen.

A Growing Trend

The rise in popularity of user-generated content (UGC) game platforms like Roblox and Fortnite highlights the increasing integration of gaming into marketing strategies, particularly for larger brands targeting younger audiences. Engaging with these platforms has proven beneficial in fostering high levels of interaction. However, the barriers to entry, including high development costs and long production times, have stymied wider adoption among smaller organizations.

DreamCore aims to address these challenges by offering a new option that makes it possible for anyone to generate a game from their smartphones quickly and at a low cost, thereby facilitating experiential marketing promotions.

Service Overview

The 'DreamCore Creator Hub' is a dedicated service for creating custom mini-games targeting enterprises, municipalities, and agencies. Here’s what it offers:

• - Full Support – NEIGHBOR assists in the entire process from planning to delivery, ensuring a hassle-free experience for clients.
• - Rapid Development – Mini-games can be delivered within one to two weeks at an affordable starting price.
• - Flexible Distribution – The games can be embedded in landing pages or shared via social media links or QR codes.

A notable success involves a game created for an influencer campaign, which garnered an impressive 700,000 impressions on social media.

Practical Applications

1. Integration with Social Media Ads

Rather than just linking to a landing page, businesses can turn their TikTok, YouTube shorts, and X advertisements into interactive experiences, enhancing user engagement and sharing potential.

2. Influencer Promotions

Companies can offer influencers partnerships that include 'playable links' alongside promotional videos, making campaigns more appealing and engaging for followers while providing influencers with easier ways to connect with their audiences.

3. Events and Trade Shows

By distributing QR codes at various events, visitors can immediately engage with fun content, which can also encourage social media shares and enhance attendee experiences.

4. Local Promotions

The service also caters to tourism initiatives, enabling local governments to create light-hearted games that promote regional attractions and events, providing memorable experiences for both visitors and online users.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, NEIGHBOR intends to expand the 'DreamCore Creator Hub' and develop a 'Self-Matching Plan', allowing companies and creators to connect directly. The first-phase rollout focuses on ensuring a user-friendly environment where anyone can successfully implement experiential mini-games, ultimately contributing to the growth of Japan's UGC gaming market.
