Squid Game has already become a cultural phenomenon. So, naturally, brands have begun to use the Korean Netflix series as a marketing ploy. While it didn’t take a lot of time to see a real-life version of the squid game come into play in UAE. The brands have been giving a first-hand experience as they cash in on new customers with their marketing tactics. More and more brands are using Squid Game as leverage to gain new customers.
