IAB UK Guide to Gaming
An introduction to the world of gaming by IAB UK’s Gaming Group
We are delighted to be part of IAB UK‘s Gaming Group who has just launched its Guide to Gaming to help advertisers better understand the vast opportunities gaming offers. It’s packed with insights from the working group on different gaming audiences, formats and how to deliver effective gaming campaigns.

It’s a great introduction for advertisers to the world of gaming and in particular happy to help shine the spotlight on the new mobile advertising category: in-game brand ads.”
