Case Study – Playform Labs × Supertails

Case Study – Playform Labs × Supertails


Boosting engagement and lead capture through a drag-and-drop playable

Objective

Supertails wanted to refresh its festive performance campaigns by moving beyond repetitive discount banners and creating a more meaningful emotional engagement with pet parents.

Goals:

  • increase click-through and session depth

  • collect first-party leads at scale (email + mobile)

  • improve coupon redemption rates

  • strengthen brand affinity rather than feeling transactional

Solution:

Playform Labs built a mobile-first playable featuring Supertails’ pet mascots—a dog and a cat—in a brand-safe, emotionally resonant setting. The experience was deployed in under 48 hours using Playform’s no-code playable engine. The playable was embedded directly into the landing experience and amplified using WhatsApp/SMS retargeting to warm audiences, maximizing ROI on existing lists.

Playable Experience – “Treat Sorter”

The interactive mechanic rewarded attentiveness and timing:

  1. Players drag falling treats toward the correct pet

  2. Dog treats → dog

  3. Cat treats → cat

  4. Accuracy + speed increase score

  5. Final reward tier determined by performance

  6. Reward reveal gated behind lead capture

Key characteristics:

  • intuitive drag-and-drop control

  • emotionally anchored visual reinforcement

  • short 15–25 second completion time

  • replay incentive for higher reward tiers

This subtle task reinforced Supertails’ positioning around pet care and the joy of treating pets well.

Lead Capture Strategy

At the end of gameplay, users were given an earned coupon code.

Because users had actively worked toward the outcome, they were more willing to complete the form as a natural value exchange:

“I earned this. I’ll share details to claim it.”

Results

Compared to Supertails’ earlier static discount campaigns, the playable delivered:

  • 3X higher CTR

  • 60%+ form completion rate (email + mobile)

  • 2X improvement in ROAS due to higher-quality sessions

  • significant lift in coupon redemption rates

Reward perception played a major role—earned coupons felt more valuable than generic discount codes.

Impact

The campaign delivered immediate performance efficiency and long-term advantages:

  • increased first-party data for remarketing

  • deeper emotional engagement through play

  • reduced ad fatigue

  • reusable playable framework for future campaigns

Rather than pushing discounts, Supertails let users win them—transforming a transactional offer into a joyful, memorable experience.
