AN INTRODUCTION TO MINDY ZAKI 🍭

👾 🍭 🍬 🍫 🛼 🥇 🏎️ 💚 🎩 Positive traits: friendly (usually), passionate, ambitious, creative, smart, curious, open minded, easy going

Negative traits: self centered, tough, sassy, perfectionist, manipulative, vain

ESTP * 24 * Human * 5’6 * Candy Maker / Sugar Racer

Little Details:

if the world has its early birds and its night owls… than mindy is an all day dove. this girl goes and goes and goes. she doesn't like wasting daylight or moonlight and often crashes hard whenever she decides her day is finally done.

nicknamed her neon green racing car the veloci-wrapper. she even painted little candies on the back of it as well as her zaki's snackies logo.

obviously mindy is a huge sweets girl, but she's also a big foodie. she adores anything with interesting flavors. 

she was 1000% that kid making ‘potions’ at the table in restaurants with random drinks and sauces. 

grew up doing gymnastics. don’t ask her to do a flip… because she will.

has a little brother! he's one of the few people who knows about her nerdy side. 

a shrieker. screams when she’s happy. screams when she’s scared. yeah she’s one of those girls. 

may or may not make some... 'special' candies here and there for her and her friends… when supplied with the proper ‘ingredients’ of course... if you catch my drift...

this girl always has business cards on her. you'll never catch her slacking on an opportunity to promote her candy.

will just pretty much anything once!

open minded but also judging you at the same time.

really good at partying but also really good at staying in.

mindy dabbles both on the mass production side of candy as well as the more deluxe side. some of her candies she creates with the mindset of accessibility in mind. for example, her signature pitaya-guava lollipops could easily be sold in various convenience and superstores. however, some of her other confections are too fresh and fragile, and therefor are exclusive to her own storefront, special orders and commissions.

has a small tattoo of a chocolate bar with the wonka ‘w’ flipped upside down to look like an ‘m’ for ‘mindy.’

Dive Deeper:

When you grow up a creative, energetic child with an overactive imagination and a very supportive family… you get someone like Mindy Zaki: a girl who’s childhood dream bloomed with her. Like many children, Mindy had a pretty wild sweet tooth from the get-go. Candy was such a spectacle! It could pop like fireworks on your tongue, make any party level up, and was the perfect way to seal any celebration. She loved how much emotion could surround such little delicacies. Her fixation on sweets and confections grew from easy bake ovens and junior candy making kits to taking over her parent’s kitchen with state of the art supplies. Even now, Mindy is still astounded by the variety of candy from country to country… but there was still so much more to be explored! Aren’t people sick of the same tired flavors? Grape, orange, cherry… sure they were classics… but where’s all the creativity? Her drive and passion are truly impressive… and she won’t quit until her candies are blowing Hershey and Mars out of the water.

On the outside, people look at Mindy and see a pretty girl all dressed up and reaping the rewards of a lifestyle that comes with the ‘popular’ crowd. Sure, that’s all true… but Mindy is actually a secret ‘nerd.’ She’s always had a special appreciation for the creativity that Japan had with its candy and snacks. Delving more into their culture and customs, Mindy found herself getting really into anime. Then came manga… then comics.. then superheroes, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and even video games. Naturally, no one really knows this about her. She makes sure that side of her is well hidden… especially from Tiffany and the other Sugar Racers. 

Ah, the Sugar Racers… sweet like sugar, of course! But sugar can be sour, too. Mindy understands this about herself, which is why she gets on with the crew the way she does. Compared to the other racers, Mindy is more on the laid back and open minded side— though she knows she’s by no means a saint. Mindy can be quite self-centered. Everything she does, she does for Mindy. All of the ‘do gooder’ activities and events she participates in around town… yeah that’s just to promote her business and paint her in a good light. Even when it comes to picking on Vanellope… Mindy knows its mean. She knows the bullying isn’t actually benefiting the racers. But it neither hurts nor helps herself… so she just lets it happen. Besides, it’s much better for her to be in with the Sugar Racers than out with the glitch.

Mindy is no stranger to being underestimated. The girl is well aware her niche and colorful little dream is bit outlandish to some… but she’s working her ass off for it. It’s not often that one person has both the creative and the business side to bring a brand to life, but Mindy does. She’s a whirlwind of a one-woman show. One minute she’s rolling out numbers for budgeting, supplies, goals, quota… and the next minute she’s brainstorming new flavor combinations or imagining if candied ice cream drops would be possible. Maybe candied freeze dried ice cream? Her mind truly never stops… and don’t even get her started on packaging! In truth, running a business by herself can get overwhelming at times. It’s not uncommon to catch her speeding a few laps around the track whenever she needs to let off some steam.

Fashion is a huge outlet for self expression for Mindy. She’s definitely the best dressed candy maker you’ve ever seen. Not that there’s probably much competition in that department… Who’s she got to beat anyway? Mr. Wonka? Please. Either way you’ll hardly ever catch her in an un-styled outfit. (If you do, something is seriously wrong. Be prepared to handle her tears.) Mindy is always dressed to the nines and is one of those girls that can pull off anything. Girly, edgy, preppy, street, classic… she does it all! It’s so much fun for her to style hop! However, while Mindy does love fashion, she doesn’t so much care for brands or labels like some of the other Sugar Racers do. She likes what she likes… and it makes no difference to her whether she found something on the Chanel runway or in the corner of a thrift store. She knows she looks good and feels good regardless.

🚀✨ La odisea del branded content - ¿Eres el héroe o el NPC en el universo del marketing de videojuegos? ✨🚀 En la vasta galaxia de la industria del videojuego, el marketing y branding brillan más que las estrellas en el firmamento nocturno. ¿Por qué? Porque sin una estrategia estelar que te catapulte hacia el olimpo del engagement, incluso el más épico de los juegos podría quedar en el olvido, recogiendo sólo polvo cibernético en alguna estantería virtual. 🎮🌟 🔮 El poder de la narrativa: - El storytelling es tu hechizo más potente. Utilízalo para invocar emociones y forjar una conexión indestructible con los jugadores. - No se trata de vender una aventura, sino de sumergir a tus jugadores en ella, de hacerles sentir parte de un universo que continúa más allá de la pantalla. 🧭 El mapa al tesoro del engagement: - Las plataformas de streaming están repletas de jugadores ávidos de contenido. Acércate a ellos como quien encuentra un compañero de quests, no un simple espectador. - Contenido generado por usuarios: Ofréceles las herramientas para que creen, pues cada gameplay, fan art o reseña es una nueva gema en tu corona de engagement. 🎩 La magia de la coherencia: - Como los códigos de honor de los caballeros antiguos, tu branding debe ser consistente en cada batalla, en cada taberna digital, en cada puente colgante de las redes sociales. - Pero atención, noble mercader de experiencias, ser coherente no significa ser monótono. Varía tus encantamientos, pero mantén firme tu escudo de identidad. 🤖 ¿NPC o protagonista? - ¿Eres el personaje no jugable que repite el mismo eslogan una y otra vez, o el héroe que adapta su mensaje a cada nueva misión? - Escucha, participa, actualiza tu inventario con feedback y conviértete en el personaje principal de tu propia campaña. 🥇 El trofeo de la diferenciación: - Encuentra tu artefacto único, eso que te distingue de los otros mil reinos de juegos ahí fuera. - Podría ser un diseño artístico que desafíe la estética establecida, una banda sonora que enamore o una mecánica de juego que te deje mudo (y eso que los videojuegos no suelen escuchar). 🤝 Alianzas estratégicas: - Las colaboraciones con otros estudios o marcas pueden ser las pociones que necesitas para fortalecer tu presencia en el mercado. - Elige bien a tus aliados de clan; las alianzas deben ser tan naturales como un combo bien ejecutado en tu juego favorito. En este multiverso pixelado del marketing y branding, recuerda que la clave es crear mundos donde los jugadores no solo quieran entrar, sino donde anhelen permanecer, vivir aventuras épicas y, sobre todo, compartir sus leyendas. Ahora, noble estratega, te invito a compartir tu conjuro más efectivo en el reino del marketing de videojuegos o, si te atreves, a desafiarme con una teoría disidente. Y por favor, etiqueta a esos héroes y heroínas que, con sus espadas o hechizos de marketing, están marcando la diferencia en el reino del gaming. #MarketingDeVideojuegos #Branding #IndustriaGamer #Storytelling #EstrategiaDigital #GamingCommunity
