Excitingly, viewers who can’t make it to the truck can participate online in a contest and win daily prizes of gaming gear by sharing the live stream on YouTube or Twitch channels with the hashtag #MashreqNeoNXTGamingChallenge.
Paul Roy, Founder of Galaxy Racer, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration with Mashreq, stating that the partnership was a “natural fit”, as both companies have the same vision of engaging the next generation of talent – Gen Z. The Mashreq Neo NXT Gaming Challenge is a futuristic activation that connects with a younger audience, who prefer social media and gaming over traditional media. It’s the perfect way to reach out to them through one of their favourite platforms – gaming.
Radu Topliceanu, Head of Neo and Personal Banking at Mashreq, also shared his excitement about the partnership and the unique opportunity to engage with the younger generation and promote Mashreq’s innovative digital branchless banking mobile app.
He said: “World over, gaming and youth are inextricably linked. At the same time, gaming is a very powerful means that offers a simulated environment especially for children and Gen Z to learn life skills, develop perseverance towards their goals, build resilience, foster creativity, and nurture relationships in a fun and entertaining way. At Mashreq, we are keen to empower and provide opportunities to the next generation of gamers and youth aged between 8 to 18 to develop their skills. Our partnership with Galaxy Racer, is therefore, a step in the right direction where we will offer various platforms to the youth in UAE to develop and showcase their skills.”
