GumGum, a contextual-first global digital advertising platform, announced today (June 14th, 2022) a strategic partnership with Frameplay, the global leader in enabling intrinsic in-game advertising. The partnership expands GumGum’s suite of high-impact ad products into the Frameplay platform and allows advertisers to reach gamers and consumers within highly cinematic and interactive video games. This unlocks both time and attention from the world’s most desirable audiences with relevant intrinsic in-game advertising in a brand-suitable environment.

"Not only does gaming offer advertisers a unique opportunity to reach exciting, diverse, and unexpected audiences online, it also offers brands a springboard into the Web 3.0 world," said Phil Schraeder, CEO at GumGum. "There are 180 million people in the United States alone–-almost half of the country's population—that identify as a digital gamer, so it's clear that in-game advertising is absolutely critical for brands to increase their share of voice and reach audiences at scale. With Frameplay, we're able to offer advertisers the chance to be early adopters of this emerging environment, helping them reach diverse gaming audiences across mobile, desktop, and consoles with non-intrusive ads that blend seamlessly into a user's gaming experience."
This integration provides GumGum with an additional offering that complements GumGum’s core display and video products. Frameplay’s unique ad platform supports high viewability standards, consistent with GumGum’s high-impact formats. Frameplay supports ad spaces implemented through their SDK as well as custom ad experiences that allow brands to own a 100% share of voice. The partnership will be offered as limited availability initially, with expanded availability to be released later this year.
“Frameplay’s collaboration with GumGum unlocks an opportunity for advertisers to reach new, highly-attentive audience segments in a seamless and measurable way,” said Jonathon Troughton, CEO of Frameplay. “At Frameplay, we’re giving developers and advertisers the proven benefits of intrinsic in-game advertising to captivate audiences in scaled, cinematic video games without sacrificing creativity or user experiences. Our partnership fuels that mission. We’re proud to provide these rich opportunities to GumGum’s clients and enthusiastic for the future of this partnership to unfold.”

MiQ | May 19, 2022
MiQ, the leading global programmatic media partner, has launched its ground-breaking analytics and measurement capability for cross-channel YouTube and TV campaigns in the UK. The innovative solution bridges the gap between the two channels. By connecting these often-disparate datasets, brands are empowered to reach nearly 100% of their target viewers on YouTube and measure reach deterministically across these channels – all in a cost-efficient and privacy compliant way.
As TV consumption makes its dramatic shift towards digital, traditional peak time has been redefined, and brands are struggling to both determine and reach their audience. With MiQ, they can now unlock a previously untapped portion of their audience. Whether it is delivered via linear, broadcast, or connected devices like games consoles, this first-of-its-kind solution gives customers better visibility over demographic and geographic representation of UK TV viewers and helps marketers bring together traditional and digital media.
Instead of market level or panel data sets, MiQ provides data at an impression- and household level that complements any digital properties clients are working with. This offers vital insights, helping marketers determine what the media plan should be as well as how to reach underexposed audiences among TV viewers.
The solution leverages smart television and automatic content recognition data from Samba TV, and YouTube analytics data from Pixability. Samba TV's delivery-agnostic TV viewership data combines with MiQ's experience to connect vast, unconnected datasets and apply data science for media planning, programmatic activation and measurement. This follows the launch of successful partnerships between the two firms in Australia, Canada and the US.
Already, a major UK pizza delivery chain gained a 20% incremental household reach on YouTube using MiQ's cross-channel planning capability. And, of the campaigns to date, MiQ's UK clients have seen a 2-5% uplift in their campaigns with this solution.
"Peak time, as we know it, is over, As UK viewers continue to shift towards new formats and channels, marketers and advertisers need solutions that will help them connect campaigns and bring linear TV into the programmatic future."
Pierre de Lannoy, UK Strategy Director, MiQ
"This capability gives an amazing opportunity to achieve incremental reach to TV campaigns on other channels, including YouTube," added Dave Carpenter, Head of Digital, Goodstuff Communications, and one of MiQ's product focus group members. "Ultimately, we are breaking the silos between traditional channels and digital, bringing them together with amazing results."
