Virtual Reality Experience Developed for Toujeo®
We were commissioned to create a custom virtual reality experience for Toujeo®, one of the leading insulin glargine injections globally. The goal of the activation was to engage doctors and medical representatives attending Toujeo® events by giving them an immersive, emotionally engaging experience that helped them better understand the challenges faced by people living with diabetes.
To achieve this, we developed a virtual reality game designed to create a controlled adrenaline response by simulating height-related scenarios and environmental tension.

The video below showcases the virtual reality activation and custom VR game developed for the Toujeo® campaign. The experience was very well received, and it was particularly interesting to observe how even medical professionals responded strongly to the immersive height-based simulation.

Recreated Johannesburg city environment used in the Toujeo virtual reality experience.
Virtual Reality Game Concept
The experience was set in a detailed Johannesburg city environment. Players began standing on a sidewalk within a busy urban scene.
In front of them was a branded Toujeo® billboard integrated into the environment.
We used in-game advertising placement as part of the immersive design, allowing branding to appear naturally within the virtual world. The city was populated with moving vehicles, pedestrians, and environmental activity to enhance realism.

Elevator Experience and Building Transition
Behind the player was an elevator representing the entrance to the Toujeo® building. Users had to enter the elevator and press a button to ascend to the top floor.
This transition was designed to heighten anticipation and psychological engagement before the main experience.
Additional branding elements were placed both inside the elevator and throughout the surrounding environment.
