KFC Gamification

When a global fast-food giant wanted to tap into Malaysia’s youth and gaming culture, they turned to Sevenvault to create a campaign that blended digital entertainment, local flavor, and irresistible rewards. The result? A viral influencer campaign that brought a virtual world to life — one reel, one game download, and one KFC reward at a time.
To promote K-Town, KFC Malaysia’s mobile gaming experience offering weekly rewards, Sevenvault engaged 15 influencers — including 5 Macro KOLs with over 100,000 followers and 10 Micro KOLs with niche influence in gaming, lifestyle, and youth-centric content.
Using a mix of Instagram Reels, Stories, and TikTok, creators showcased the game, expressed their excitement, and encouraged downloads through authentic, localized content filled with Malaysian slang and humor — all aimed at connecting with a young, digital-native audience.
