GCash's GStocks Game has proven to be a resounding success with over 336,887 players and 995,719 trades throughout the challenge. This immersive online game, powered by EasyEquities, has provided a fun and educational platform for individuals to explore the world of investing without the risk of real financial losses.
Behind the scenes, a dynamic team at EasyEquities played a crucial role in bringing the GStocks Game to life. Chris, a passionate advocate for financial literacy and personal finance, spearheaded the marketing efforts. Her enthusiasm and expertise were instrumental in guiding the game's successful launch.
Alongside Chris, Isha, a creative advertising planner with a keen interest in financial markets and technical analysis, brought her strategic planning skills and ideas to the table. Her passion for finance and her love of exploring the nuances of the stock market were invaluable assets to the team.
Chris and Isha created a comprehensive marketing plan that encompassed social media, PR, and community engagement. Together with cross-functional teams at EasyEquities, they collaborated closely with the GCash team to ensure seamless integration of the game into the GCash app. Their dedication and hard work resulted in the game's remarkable success.
Moreover, the GStocks Game wasn't just about playing – it gave us a sneak peek into how players think about money and investing. We had 156 winners, with 25 winning more than once (Now that's impressive). These champs showed us that people have different ways of investing and handling risks.
The top 5 most popular stocks bought during the game were Coca-Cola, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, and Airbnb. This tells us that players had a wide range of interests. They also liked investing in industries like cars, retail, media, drinks, and tech.
People came together and formed over 15,000 clans, showing how the gaming community was very engaged. The game reached 300,000 players in just 112 days, hitting some impressive milestones. It's not just a game; it's a fun and learning experience for everyone involved..
We are incredibly proud of the GStocks Game's achievements and the positive impact it has had on our players' understanding of investing. As we look toward the future, we remain committed to providing innovative and engaging solutions that empower individuals to make informed financial decisions.
As EasyEquities extends its reach worldwide, we are actively strengthening our global presence to evolve into a truly international company with a diverse product range. EasyVSTRs now have the convenience of accessing global markets, including the American, Australian, European, and UK markets. Activating each wallet within the app is a simple process, and users can further enhance their knowledge through the resources available in EasyAcademy.
Thank you for being part of our journey!
