The partnership will see the imminent launch of Adverty’s seamless In-Play™ and In-Menu™ ads in GTG’s popular “World Hockey Manager” game in the next few weeks. GTG will also be integrating this technology into its upcoming titles set for release later this year.

“We are thrilled to be adding GTG and World Hockey Manager (WHM) to our ever-growing library of high-quality games using our cutting-edge technology and patented viewability measurements. Developers are waking up to this opportunity to offer advertisers the chance to reach a well defined and attractive target audience – in this case comprised of ice hockey fans around the world,” explains Tobias Knutsson, CEO of Adverty.

“We are seeing a huge increase in demand for attractively designed in-game advertising to engage hard-to reach-audiences and look forward to working closely with GTG for many years to come”, says Knutsson.

“We view in-game advertising as the most exciting opportunity in mobile game monetisation and are delighted to be working with a fellow Swedish company on realising the potential our current and future games hold in this regard,” adds Pär Hultgren, CEO of GTG.
