Gamified influencer activation / Toyota × Nintendo

The Highlander became the game.

Toyota loved the previous engagement so much they came back for another “wacky” project. At the Nintendo World Championships, Gramo’s team built a racing course inside a Toyota Highlander. Influencer families raced each other, played more games inside the vehicle and kept the Highlander unmistakably at the center of the action.

Building before the playbook exists

From live studios to cloud workflows.

“Our success has come from designing the right mix of solutions for each project, and building proprietary workflows that inspire confidence among every member of the production crew.”
