About GIG: 

G!G is a questing platform that turns mobile telecom operators into channel partners to do user acquisition and engagement at scale for partner companies.  

Telecom mobile subscribers can do quests, tasks, and missions to earn rewards.  Quests can be gaming, shopping, referrals, social media participation, and other micro tasks that drive engagement and revenue.
