We are very excited to announce a new video promotion we’ve developed for GameFly in conjunction with AMP Agency. The “GameFly Superfan Casting Call 2008 Contest”! Entrants into the contest need to dress up as their favorite video game character and show their love for GameFly. Winners have a shot at appearing in a GameFly TV commercial.

The contest is a great example of how to engage your customers to build brand awareness and virally spread your marketing message in a safe way that doesn’t put your brand at risk.
