Activision

Gamers make up a third of the global population yet the audience remains misunderstood. The stereotype of a gamer as a head-set wearing young male doesn’t paint the full picture of this diverse and nuanced audience. This session uncovers new research from over 20,000 participants to change the way you think about gamers and understand the opportunities.

Jan Bojko, Head of Market Research at Activision Blizzard Media chats with Peter Jacobs, Client Partner at Dentsu Aegis Network, about the research and what it means for brands.

Anzu

Anzu.io

Anzu.io takes a closer look at how advertisers can innovate inside the gaming and esports worlds. Real life examples illustrate how brands are taking advantage of in-game as a fresh, effective, and measurable media channel.

Come away knowing more about the current relationship between gaming and advertising, what the advertising challenges are and the cultural aspect of gaming that advertisers should be aware of - plus much more.

Bidstack

Bidstack

As the advertising world discovers more about the multi-billion dollar gaming industry, we are seeing increasingly interesting collaborations between the two within different subsets of gaming. But how do brands know where to start? Julia Rast (Xaxis), Leeston Bryant (McLaren Racing), Adam Harris (Twitch) and Lewis Sherlock (Bidstack) explore different areas of gaming and take a deep-dive into their favourite in-game ad campaigns.
