Why should marketers think of gaming as a premium environment?- Steve Ford, SVP, Advertising, talks to The Drum "Gaming isn't just the future of entertainment -it's the now and it’s the present. With 3.2 billion gamers globally and a market expected to grow to $189bn in 2024, brands have a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse and captive audience. "From esports tournaments to streaming and influencers, gaming fosters tight-knit communities that are open to all, allowing creativity to thrive and connections to deepen. In gaming, everyone is welcome to play, to make the journey from zero to hero, irrespective of gender, race, location, disability, background, or skill. "Brands tapping into this special ecosystem can authentically forge connections with the next generation - who are tech-savvy, fast-growing, and open for meaningful engagement - in a way that is unparalleled when compared to other channels." #gaming #advertising #esports #brand #brandstrategy #thedrum
