FAQ

What is in-game advertising?

In the simplest terms, in-game advertising is a type of digital advertising that displays image, video, and audio ads inside video games. Today’s in-game advertising strategies typically fall into one of three approaches: in-game (the ad is placed in the gaming environment), around the game (the ad is not in the gaming environment, but is still a part of the gaming ecosystem) and away from the game (gaming industry events, etc).  

Which in-game advertising formats are commonly used?

There are four main in-game ad formats:

• Intrinsic ads are non-disruptive ads inserted within gaming experiences natively. By natively, we mean that they might appear on in-game billboards - just like in real life.

• Interstitial ads appear during the game, interrupting the game play.

• Adjacent ads are ads that appear alongside the game.

• Audio ads play while the gamer is playing and affect audio within the game.

What are the benefits of in-game for advertisers?

With gaming as a marketing channel, advertisers have access to a diverse, global and fully engaged audience. Plus, they also get the opportunity to be first movers in a new space with limited competition. Plus, Intrinsic in-game ads are non-disruptive with seamless integration into the gaming experience and they are very effective at building brand awareness and capturing user attention.

Why do game developers incorporate in-game ads?

In-Game ads are beneficial for all of the key stakeholders in the gaming environment. With in-game advertising - everybody wins! For game developers, in-game advertising empowers them to enhance the gaming experience and generate more revenue.

What is intrinsic In-Game advertising?
