# In-game

In-game advertising is a media channel that places ads directly within video games, most commonly on mobile devices. These ads come in various formats that are closely tied to the gaming experience—whether it’s earning extra lives by watching a video, spotting a branded message integrated into gameplay, or hearing an audio ad between levels. In-game placements allow your messaging to reach players in an engaging and interactive environment.

**Available formats:**

* **Banner:** Ads displayed within the game interface, often appearing in the corner or at the bottom of the screen. *Example: A small banner ad shown at the bottom of a mobile game screen.*
* **Video:** Video ads that play during gameplay, such as interstitials or pre-rolls. *Example: A 15-second video ad that appears before a player continues with the game.*
* **Audio:** Audio-only ads played during the gaming experience or between levels, offering a non-intrusive way to reach players. *Example: A brief audio ad playing like a radio spot during a driving game.*
* **Rewarded ads:** Ads that users can choose to watch in exchange for in-game rewards like currency, bonuses, or extra lives. *Example: A player watches a video ad to receive a bonus or additional lives in the game.*

**Targeting strategies supported:** Contextual, behavioral, demographic, and geographic
