• For software company
Autodesk, the 30-day
software trial period
offered to customers
is critical.
4. Undiscovered Territory
• Trials are a key part of the
customer’s purchase
decision and account for a
significant percentage of
the company’s website
traffic.
5. Undiscovered Territory
• Commercial designers are
largely unfamiliar with 3D
techniques, used in video
game design, so the trial
was intended to show
them the possibilities the
software offered.
6. Undiscovered Territory
• Autodesk knew the longer users
stayed with the trial, the more
likely they were to license the
software. But 3D modeling is
difficult to master, especially
through traditional tutorial
instruction, and many of these
commercial users got frustrated
and quit.
7. Undiscovered Territory
• So when the 2013 version of
the Autodesk(r) 3ds Max(r)
software released, the
company turned to digital
marketing agency Resource
to create a fresh and
innovative way to increase
trial conversion.
8. Undiscovered Territory
• Known for consumer research
and innovation, Resource
developed an online game
called “Undiscovered
Territory” that took
customers on an entertaining
and educational journey.

• The result was a significant
increase in trial downloads
and usage and the
campaign earned a
Forrester B2B Groundswell
Award.
