Playable Ads Increase Engagement More Than Anything

The end-user knows that if there is a screen, ads come with it. After a while, ads automatically become transparent for the user. Well, not anymore. With their interactive nature, playable ads manage to easily attract people’s attention. Compared to video ads, which previously were the most effective ad model, playable ads generate up to seven times more conversions. On top of that, giving users a say in the ads takes the experience to another level. Giving the users a demo of a 60 or 30-second gameplay is undoubtedly more effective and intriguing than showing them a short gameplay clip. Instead of tiring your target audience with aggressive video ads, invite them into the process!

Stand Out by Gamifying Your Product

Playable ads may have originated in gaming ads, but for the last couple of years, they have been embraced by brands that have nothing to do with gaming. Brands who want to make a statement with their creativity are investing in playable ads and telling their products and features by turning them into short and interactive games. Especially in the mobile application industry, playable ads have already become the most creative and intriguing for both the end-user and creative teams. There are two main strategies for playable ads for brands; building a mini-game that focuses on the product or a feature, or designing a demo of the mobile app. The key is engagement, and we are ready to share our know-how on what works for whom.
