“The new Polo has had a tremendous reception on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

We are very pleased with the development and subsequent marketing by FISHLABS.”
Volkswagen has demonstrated exactly the right flair, integrating the new Polo into a game in an attractive, but not dominant, fashion through FISHLABS and then using our proven channels for viral communication,” explains Michael Schade, CEO of FISHLABS Entertainment GmbH. “In the forums for iPhone and iPod Touch games, Volkswagen Polo Challenge is talked about as the best advergame in the AppStore and, according to comments by numerous players, even outdoes many retail games in terms of quality. Advergames like this are fun and also have the expected effect with target group: everyone is talking about the new Polo.”
