Gaming for Good: Experiences and Opportunities

The third in Giant Digital's Web3 series for charities, Kelly-Anne Perera, Vice President of Ape Squared Creative, and founder of Women in Web3, looks at the gaming sector and some of the ways that charities can use this technology to engage new and existing audiences.

Her presentation provides an idea of the different types of gaming opportunities that charities could explore, as well as some great examples of where charities have had great fundraising and audience engagement success with gaming campaigns and activities.

Kelly-Anne uses real-life examples of how charities are benefiting from embracing gaming as part of their charity's digital activities, both to reach new audiences, but also to raise funds, including an innovative and inspiring example of NFT use by UNICEF. 

She also gives practical advice on avoiding potential pitfalls and challenges that charities might experience when exploring this exciting new area of digital opportunity.

Other presentations in this Web3 series are available on our Giant Digital channel.
