Beyond Game Scoring

MVI benchmarks campaigns too

MVI doesn't just score games — it benchmarks every campaign against platform medians. So you always know if your activation is performing above or below the market.

Every campaign on Makeshift is measured against these platform medians. When your sentiment hits 72% vs the 65% median, you know you're outperforming. When completion drops to 40%, you know to investigate. No more guessing if “good” is actually good.

MVI in Action

We use MVI to find games worth your budget

MVI is the starting point for every campaign we advise on. It's how we identified Driving Empire for LEGO (14M unique players) and matched L'Oreal with the first beauty integration in gaming (5.2M engaged minutes).
