Anzu and Adform Team Up to Advance Utilization of In-Game Advertising

Anzu.io, the world’s most advanced in-game advertising solution, announced a new partnership with Adform, the only global, independent, and fully integrated advertising platform built for modern marketing. Anzu will now offer its exclusive mobile and PC in-game inventory to Adform’s 30,000+ global clients, who will be able to utilize Anzu’s first-in-class technology to target the global gaming market. Joint pilot campaigns include global advertisers such as Vodafone Germany and McDonalds Czech Republic.

Gaming is on the rise with 3.1 billion players globally, and it has become an important component of brands’ multi-touchpoint advertising strategy. With its blended in-game ad technology, Anzu provides a platform for advertisers to access gamers in a non-intrusive way that shows respect for the gaming experience by not disrupting gameplay. Some recent gaming client wins include Ubisoft, the first programmatic PC deal in esports with Axis Games, and Virtuverse, the first sci-fi game with blended in-game ads.
