FORMAT 01
Real Brand Presence Inside Gameplay.
In-game billboards are integrated ad placements that seamlessly blend into gameplay. They can appear on virtual billboards, loading screens, product placements or natural elements of the game environment, allowing brands to be present without breaking the player experience.
Placement logic: displayed during gameplay or inside the game environment. Experience: native to the game world. Benchmark: display viewability benchmark: 80%+. Recommended use: mass awareness, brand visibility, always-on presence and product launch reminders.
Sound-On Attention Without Stopping the Game.
In-game audio ads are delivered during gameplay, natural breaks, background moments or specific in-game events. The format is built for attention without forcing the player out of the experience.
Rewarded Audio
Brands can bid on rewarded moments, such as a player receiving gems or rewards for listening to an audio ad.
Skippable Audio
The player hears the first five seconds and can then skip the ad.
Moments Audio Ads
Targets players at peak gameplay moments and pairs the audio with a companion banner. Benchmark: 95% LTR and 1.5% CTR.
Volume Detection
If device volume is below 30%, the user receives a prompt asking them to increase volume.
FORMAT 04
From Gameplay to Shopping, Coupon, Lead or App Install.
Gaming commerce integrates real-world shopping into virtual gaming environments. Brands can place 3D or 2D product icons inside the game, open an interactive canvas and drive players to shop, watch, share with friends or redeem coupons.
01 Product Placement
Brand-specific 3D or 2D icons are placed within the game.
02 Interaction
The player taps or interacts with the branded element.
03 Canvas
An in-game canvas lets the player shop, watch, share, install an app or redeem a coupon.
04 Action
The player moves to shop now, lead form, subscription or app install flow.
When the Player Chooses to Engage.
Rewarded video ads allow users to choose to view ads in exchange for an in-game reward. Playable ads provide a mini branded game during natural breaks such as between levels or loading screens. Both formats are useful when the goal is not only reach, but active engagement.
Rewarded Video
Opt-in video where the user watches in exchange for a reward. Best for video completion, consideration, app installs and offer-led campaigns.
Playable Ads
A mini branded game or interaction that lets users experience the product idea. Best for engagement, education, trials and app promotion.
Standard Video / Banners
Mobile gaming inventory can also support video and banner placements. Best for scale, reminders, retargeting and lower-friction awareness.
Go Beyond Placements. Build a Branded Moment Inside the Game.
For larger launches, Happy Ads can help brands use native gaming experiences that feel closer to content than media placements. These formats are useful when a brand wants memorability, playfulness and earned conversation — not just impressions.
Dream Bubble
Characters appear to dream about or imagine the brand. Best for entertainment launches, kids/family brands and emotional stories.
Token Event
A time-limited event where players collect branded tokens and exchange them for rewards. Best for launches and repeat engagement.
Roblox Station
