On International Friendship Day Fusion Energy drink invites gamers to join their greatest enemies in an unusual selfie - Effort by CP+B Brazil changes video gaming behavior by encouraging gamers to take pictures with their opponents. Initiative includes a reward.
“Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer,” as the saying goes. On International Friendship Day, celebrated on July 30, Fusion Energy drink will turn all opponents into allies. The brand invites gamers to take a virtual picture with their main opponents. More than proof of the real value of friendship, that selfie will offer rewards. After all, in these hard times we are all going through, a friendly attitude, like a photo next to your gaming opponent, is a remarkable way of celebrating the date.

So, at least on this July 30th, having your enemy by your side is what counts. To earn the reward, follow this simple strategy: take a photo with your gaming rival, tag your Twitter post with #fusionamizademudaojogo and @fusionenergybr, or your Instagram post with #fusionamizademudaojogo and @fusionenergydrink. You’ll soon get a direct message with a prize: a free delivery coupon on Zé Delivery. All posts on July 30th get a reward.
“For that special celebration, we wanted to pay a tribute to gamers in a unique way. A casual and fun way. Only Fusion Energy drink and the International Friendship Day were able to bring people together with their greatest enemies in the world of eSports,” Fusion marketing manager, Daniela Dib, said. The effort, developed by CP+B Brazil, provides an unusual – but also simple and powerful – perspective to help celebrate the International Friendship Day in the gaming world. After all, it has been online where we have been able to connect with people.
“This idea shows that it is possible to use the gaming platform from a different, innovative perspective. We invited gamers to change their gaming behavior and spread the message of peace and friendship. In harsh times like this, nothing better than that kind of game to start this conversation”, CP+B Brazil creative director, Marcelo Rizério, explained.
