Case Study: MKGI Dubai UAE Campaign – AR Collector Cards Microsite

Māori Kiwifruit Growers Dubai UAE Campaign

For the MKGI Dubai UAE Campaign, Guerrilla Media Agency collaborated with RUN and iSPARX™ to deliver the “Legends of Aotearoa New Zealand” AR Collector Cards promotion. The campaign featured a custom-built microsite to support a retail giveaway of augmented reality cards packaged inside Zespri Kiwifruit and Dazzle Apples 1kg pouches .

The microsite served as the central hub for campaign information, including FAQs, collection lists, and details on ultra-rare gold holographic cards. Integration of AR+IQ™ technology allowed users to view and interact with card content in augmented reality, creating a richer and more engaging experience for customers.

The project demonstrated:

  • Seamless retail integration - AR content was embedded directly in product packaging.

  • Scalable content delivery - a single microsite supported multiple regions and languages.

  • Gamified engagement - collectible sets, rarity mechanics, and real-time user interaction boosted customer participation.

This activation not only drives product sales but also showcase’s how AR storytelling can enhance brand campaigns and connect cultural narratives to a global audience.

RUN is “a Māori-owned, globally awarded, advertising and design agency. Our ethos is simple — we not only believe creativity can solve your organisation's problems, but it can make your brand loveable and shareable.”

Marketing campaigns with AR elements have an average

dwell time of 75 seconds.

Campaigns on traditional channels, like TV or radio, have only 2.5 seconds average dwell time. Back in 2016, Taco Bell explored the benefits of the tech, according to AR marketing statistics. The food chain used Snapchat AR filters and found out that customers were playing around for about 24 seconds before taking a picture with the Taco Bell AR filter. This helped boost brand awareness without forcing the company to spend thousands of dollars to make it happen.
