Why In-Game
Advertising

The gaming industry has been an underutilized ad channel by advertisers, until now. With the industry valued at $300 billion USD, and over 3.2 billion gamers worldwide who spend about 8 hours and 27 minutes each week playing games, brands are tapping into this unique ad channel to reach engaged consumers.

In-game ads can appear in mobile, computer, and console video games, giving you an opportunity to place your brand in front of a highly-engaged gaming audience.

Blended in-game ads are non-intrusive, highly viewable, use large text and logo, have a clear call to action that's not clickable, and drive high-brand recall.

Video ads are a powerful storytelling tool used to make an emotional connection with a brand. They convey a lot of information in a short video view.

Tailor your ad to the in-game environment and place your logo prominently to build brand recognition. Avoid small details, use high-contrasting colours, large font, and include a clear CTA.

In-game advertising refers to ads that appear in mobile, computer, and console games. Blended in-game ads are a type of in-game ad format that are non-clickable, 100% viewable, and non-disruptive, blending seamlessly into the gaming environment by appearing on billboards in a racing game, on walls in strategy games, or on a player's jersey in a sports game.

This unique ad channel is a great way for advertisers and brands to reach an engaged audience who is unlikely to be multitasking, build brand awareness, and nurture long-lasting relationships with their target consumer.

Gaming has become a mainstream, social pastime for users of all ages and backgrounds. Here's a look at some key details and insights to help you understand who gamers are, their interests, and attitude toward purchasing decisions.
