By covering targeting, creative and measurement, the session looks at the potential of InGame Advertising for both brand awareness and fundraising campaigns, leveraging the democracy, reach and emotional investment of mobile game players.

How the demise of web banner ads will make way for the in-gaming revolution

With 3 billion gamers worldwide, the gaming industry offers plenty of lucrative opportunities for marketers who are looking to upgrade from traditional advertising methods. Innovations like Adverty’s In-Play and In-Menu unobtrusive ad formats are designed to make in-game advertising a powerful performance as well as a branding channel. Indeed, our recent study indicated that 50% of respondents who were presented with a series of adverts in different online environments said they preferred ads that blended seamlessly into the gameplay experience - compared to 30% favourability for a banner ad on a news website. Whilst in-game advertising is unchartered territory for the vast majority of brands, we predict more marketers will make a necessary shift towards seamless and non-interruptive in-game advertising that sits alongside the immersive experience of virtual worlds. In this timely session, Adverty, discusses their latest ad-tech innovations, hacks for unlocking previously unreachable audiences and why you shouldn’t ignore the in-gaming revolution.
