Programmatic delivery of in-game advertising makes it easier for brands to invest as little or as much as they like and be able to track and measure their campaigns in the exact same way as they would with other programmatically available media channels. This instills trust and transparency as brands have a clear understanding of what games their ads are appearing in.
Investing budgets in in-game advertising allows brands to access curated gaming packages through contextual targeting and demographic indexing which makes it easier for brands to access hard-to-reach audiences in a cookieless world.
In-game is primed to push the boundaries when it comes to consumer engagement as advertisers move away from clicks and viewability into attention. Andrew and Yas discuss what attention means for in-game formats and how advertisers can use attention to make more informed decisions about the effectiveness of ad campaigns.
Premium is a term that's often used but lacks a clear definition and can be subjective. Premium has a whole new definition when it comes to gaming where the quality of the gameplay and relevancy of the ad to the environment matter just as much as the actual game name or publisher.
