Gamer Drop 2022
Role: Senior Designer
Project Overview
Walmart Connect collaborated with merchant, marketing, and supplier teams to elevate the annual Gamer Drop, building an omni-channel holiday campaign around gaming consoles, titles, and gear. The custom landing page and interactive event activations helped position Walmart as a destination for gaming, driving major sales growth.
My Role:
Co-led concepts and visual direction with the Art Director and copywriter to bring the Gamer Drop strategy to life across digital and in-store touchpoints.
Defined the UX, information architecture, and visual hierarchy for the custom Gamer Drop page on Walmart’s site and app, grounded in Walmart best practices and performance learnings.
Owned end-to-end design of the chosen direction, from early mocks and stakeholder reviews through wireframes, final layouts, and dev handoff with the development team.
Extended the design system into supporting onsite and offsite marketing assets to promote the nationwide Gamer Drop events and reinforce Walmart as a gaming destination.
Proven Sales Impact:
Contributed to a 5% total sales lift across Media & Gaming, Electronics, and Wireless, including a 10% lift in video game hardware and an 88% lift in Media & Gaming Miscellaneous at participating Gamer Drop stores versus non-event locations.
The Gamer Drop program puts partners’ brands front and center with Walmart’s valuable gamer audience! Each year this omni-channel program franchise reinforces Walmart as the go-to destination for everything gaming and connects our clients’ brands to customers through multiple touch points across the shopper journey. Because this program was so successful, Walmart Connect created a case study for this program. Read the case study HERE.
