The Gaming Ad Revolution
Manage episode 473153265 series 3604537
Trader Stu introduces an innovative advertising opportunity through PressXToPlayGames, a company developing a survival video game called "Get Prepped" that sells ad space within the virtual environment. The gaming industry represents a massive untapped advertising market three times larger than movies and music combined, with the average gamer being a homeowner in their mid-30s.
• In-game advertising costs $25,000 for the entire game lifespan (typically 5-10 years)
• Video games have 250 million gamers in North America with average age of 34-36
• No ad blockers or skip buttons exist in video games, ensuring ad visibility
• Businesses appear as "strongholds" or safe houses within the apocalyptic game setting
• Cost comparison shows gaming ads are cheaper than Google pay-per-click ($20,000/year)
• Players can virtually sample products before purchasing them in real life
• Gaming industry has 3.24 billion users globally, exceeding YouTube's projected 2.85 billion
• Trader Stu will appear as a character in the game at his Trading Post
