Collection: BEYOND ADVERTISING: IMMERSIVE MARKETING REIMAGINED
HGI (Hither Gleam Imaging): Our proprietary visual effect that makes select in-game items shimmer with a subtle glow, indicating they're available in the player's Digital Closet.
I first conceived this idea in 1999 during the dot-com boom - a TV show where HGI would let viewers know glowing items were for sale on our website. No matter how hard I tried to sell this vision, no one in LA could see it. Today, I've evolved that concept for gaming, where HGI signals something exclusively chosen for each player waiting in their Iconic Character Closet. Same revolutionary idea, but now it's personalized and actually works."
THE ICONIC SYSTEM: 11 FASHION ARCHETYPES THAT POWER THE CLOSET
"These aren't just characters - they're fashion psychology made tangible. Each Iconic represents a distinct style DNA that real people aspire to embody."
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
• PERSONALIZED MATCHING - Gameplay and style assessment match players to their dominant Iconic, determining which curated collections appear in their Digital Closet.
• EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIPS - Each Iconic partners with specific design houses who become the exclusive authority for that fashion archetype.
• DEMOGRAPHIC TARGETING - Each Iconic serves different demographics and price points, ensuring every player finds their style tribe.
• SCALABLE EXPANSION - New fashion tribes = new Iconics. We auction partnerships to competing design houses worldwide.
• INNOVATION MANDATE - Design houses must reimagine their aesthetic for every body type, skin tone, and lifestyle within their Iconic's customer base.
• INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN - Eliminates size/color exclusion that plagues traditional fashion through gameplay-driven curation.
