Meet CODEE
The Ask & Brief
To create a novel character worthy of Codashop, we knew the mascot had to reflect the brand and embody its ideals: It needed to stand out against others in the space to strengthen Coda's brand equity in the marketplace, and it needed to be fun.

The Strategy
We looked closely at Codashop and its audience to identify those traits that best reflected them. They’re a positive bunch, a bit unhinged but in an endearing way. What would resonate with them? What would connect and reinforce the message that Codashop is a cheerful and trustworthy payment platform for players?

Creative Process
We then set about concepting all the ways that might come to life in a mascot: the character’s shape and color, its personality and behavior—even movement and sound.
Game On
From concept to in-game guide, we delivered an accessible, approachable, player-first experience to help Codashop connect better with their US audience.
