TGL Entertainment owns and operates a large network of niche gaming sites, created and enjoyed by highly engaged communities. From Dress-up games to War games they provide websites that unite, entertain and engage gamers.

Founded in 2009 by a small group of like-minded gamers, TGL Entertainment allows people to discover and share great games from anywhere on the web. Every game is submitted by the community and great games are surfaced through votes and game plays – if a game rocks, the community ensure everyone gets to see it!

In addition to offering game developers, publishers and gamers a great place to discover and share games, TGL Entertainment also helps to start a conversation around that content, ensuring their place at the very centre of the online casual gaming universe.

We helped to develop the business from the ground-up, from branding and website development to digital strategy and commercial advice. We are working with TGL to help grow the company through social media platforms and original content development and are delighted to be part of such a dynamic and fast growing business at such an early stage of its development.

Our healthy eating game for the British Heart Foundation has racked up hundreds of millions of game plays since its launch, with over 1.5 million players registering with the website and creating their very own Yoobots.

A third of children in the UK are currently overweight. Childhood obesity is a growing issue in the UK and a looming threat to the next generation’s future heart health and general quality of life. The problem is well documented through the media. Working with GREY London, we were tasked to get 11-13 year old children to take greater responsibility for their own health. It is at this pivotal age that children start gaining more freedom in their choice of food and where the future food habits are formed.

After just three months of Yoobot going live we had over a million registrations equivalent to roughly 37% of 11-13 year olds in the UK. We now have over 50% of all 11-13 year olds in the UK registered on the site. 3rd fastest rising internet search in the UK post launch and has gone on to pick up many of accolades and good reports from all media channels, including prominent features on the BBC, ITV and GMTV news.

Most recently the campaign picked up a coveted FWA award, as well as the prestigious Broadbent Prize for Best Dedication to Effectiveness at the IPA Effectiveness Awards. The IPA Effectiveness Awards are recognised by agencies and clients as Adland’s most rigorous award scheme.

The judges were very impressed by this paper as it understood how kids learn through play and in doing so showed how to effectively change their eating habits. It was a very clever campaign and a well deserved winner.

Brain training is big news. But does it actually work? With the Brain Test Britain experiment we plan to find out – and we need your help.

Millions of people worldwide do some form of computer-based brain training every day. It seems to make sense that by regularly ‘exercising’ your brain with special tests and puzzles, you can improve your ‘brain skills’ and become better at everyday thinking tasks. But does brain training actually work? Recent research suggests that the scientific evidence is lacking.

The Brain Test Britain experiment is a scientifically valid study, and we hope that thousands of members of the public – including you! – will help us to answer, for the first time, the question: does brain training work?

Brain Test Britain is a real experiment and the results could make a real difference to people’s lives. So not only might you be doing yourself some good, but you’ll be taking part in genuine, groundbreaking science!

The experiment has just gone live and we’ll add a full case study and video very soon. In the meantime, if you want to be part of the biggest scientific brain training experiment of all time, follow the link below…
