    Proven Gamification Strategies That Actually Work (Beyond Points and Badges)

    80% of gamified apps fail within 2 years. Not because gamification doesn't work, but because most brands are doing it wrong.  Adding a badge isn't gamification. Slapping a leaderboard on your loyalty app isn't gamification. These are decorations on a broken engagement model.  True gamification strategies speak to who your customer wants to become, not just what they can earn.  In my latest piece, I break down the DRIVES Framework, a six-step approach built on Self-Determination Theory and tested against Bangladesh's unique market realities: collectivist culture, mobile-first behavior, and a status-conscious urban consumer base that responds to social visibility, not just transaction points.  If you're in fintech, e-commerce, or consumer apps, this one's worth bookmarking. - https://thoughtonic.com/gamification-strategies-beyond-points-badges/

    The Proven Power of a Nostalgia Marketing Strategy in a Chaotic Dhaka

    I remember the smell of Bailey Road in the late 90s. It wasn’t just about the theater or the fuchka: it was the pace. Life felt manageable. We had a handful of TV channels, and the ads, like the iconic “Mishu” for Meril or the catchy jingles for Mojo, stayed with us for years. Today, walking through Gulshan or Banani feels like being trapped inside a glitching social media feed. Everything is loud, neon, and exhausting. As a marketer who has spent over a decade in the trenches of this city, I’ve noticed a shift. The most effective Nostalgia Marketing Strategy right now isn’t about the past at all. It’s a calculated response to a present that is moving too fast for the human heart to keep up. This is where it gets interesting: we are seeing a massive trust deficit in the Bangladesh market. Data from 2025 shows that only 24% of urban consumers actually trust the polished, high-definition ads they see on their phones. We are tired of being sold “the future.” We want the reliability of the past. https://thoughtonic.com/nostalgia-marketing-strategy/
