The advantages

Advertiser

  • Advertising interaction at the perfect moment:

    When the customer is receptive to it and in a good mood.

  • Positive association:

    The potential customer associates something positive with your brand and product. The brand is positively charged, the in-game message is not perceived as an advertisement!

  • Booster for follow-up advertising:

    Positive association has an effect. I.e. this positive association doesn't fizzle out with the in-game message, but also fuels subsequent advertising efforts.

  • Quality over quantity:

    Targeted advertising that speaks to your exact audience and delivers tangible value.

  • Conscious perception:

    Will not be hidden, skimmed or read over. The player wants to see your advertisement.

  • Transparent and measurable:

    Every in-game message is controllable and targeted.

  • External effectiveness:

    The brand can also market its commitment to charitable causes in an externally effective manner.

Consumer/Player

  • Satisfy social need:

    Gamers can satisfy their social need to help with what they love most, playing games and having great moments.

  • Positive emotions:

    Great feeling of having done something good - gaming does something positive in the real world.

  • Epic Meaning:

    Players can work together to change / improve the real world. Together they can make a positive difference.

  • Simple donation:
