Project
Elky Quest - Gamified Product Experience
Background
Large events bring together multiple products, campaigns, and audiences, making it challenging to capture attention and encourage deeper exploration. We wanted to create an experience that would spark curiosity, keep attendees engaged throughout the event, and make Elastic's products more memorable.
Creative Direction
Inspired by fantasy role-playing games, we transformed Elastic's mascot, Elky, into a cast of collectible characters with common, rare, and ultra-rare editions. Partnering with Campaign Managers, Brand Strategists, and Product Marketing Managers, we embedded key product capabilities into each character through unique "special powers," turning product messaging into an engaging collectible experience. Working closely with the Swag team, we ensured every collectible reflected the quality of the Elastic brand while encouraging attendees to explore, return, trade, and connect throughout the event.
