In-game advertising is a new mobile advertising format that gained a lot of market traction in 2021 as an innovative way for mobile game publishers & developers to monetize their games and advertisers to reach new audiences compared to traditional banner ads or interruptive ad units such as interstitials.
AdInMo’s immersive InGamePlay ads are programmatically placed directly into gameplay and do not interrupt gameplay. The ads are click-free which improves player retention and drives better brand engagement. Advertisers see mobile games as an exciting digital media channel for accessing hard-to-reach audiences as well as early-entry into AR and VR metaverses.

The company’s exciting content offering is not just driving revenue through DCB subscriptions, PM Connect’s strategies have been instrumental in driving data usage and providing use cases for 5G adoption.
This game-changing content is enhanced further by the PM Connect’s digital advertising, serving as the growth engine for its brand and MNO partners – driving subscription acquisition and commercial results.
PM Connect runs highly targeted and inclusive campaigns across Google and socials, with incremental and innovative 360 marketing spend – with a bespoke approach taken on the merits of each product, territory and key target demographics.
The company’s latest launch was with the $8.5 billion (pa) National Basketball Association (NBA) for its flagship direct-to-consumer (D2C) over-the-top (OTT) product, NBA League Pass. League Pass is one of the hottest D2C sports properties in the world, which is seeing huge growth outside of the NBA’s core US market.
The partnership will expand the reach of NBA LP to over 300 million consumers in Europe and Africa across its network of over 20 carriers in seven countries – Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, South Africa, Spain and the UK.
The League Pass provides the most comprehensive live and on-demand access to an entire season of NBA games in high-definition with live stats, alternative audio and multiple viewing options. Subscribers gain access to League Pass’s Next-Generation game viewing enhancements, including new camera angles, multiple in-language streams, celebrity influencer commentary, in-depth analytics and statistical graphics, and social media integration.
The Sports OTT market is booming, as more consumers migrate to digital media consumption and linear TV declines. This is highlighted in PM Connect’s white paper Sports OTT: The Big Mobile Opportunity™, released in partnership with SportsPro in July 2021:
From the Source | Sports OTT: The Big Mobile Opportunity
Sports OTT will be worth $85 billion by 2024, and basketball is the fastest growing sport globally for millennials and Gen Z – with 43 million NBA fans outside of North America – many of whom use mobile as their first, and in some cases, only screen. Through its NBA League Pass partnership, PM Connect’s carrier customers are set to reap the rewards – including major groups Orange, Vodafone and MTN.
This is proven in South Africa with Vodacom – where PM Connect’s advertising is generating more than 1,000 new NBA League Pass subscribers every day, with similar success with Orange in Belgium and Bouygues in France.
The cloud gaming sector is also booming, set to be worth $5.4 billion by 2023 – part of a $159.3 billion gaming market played by 2.7 billion consumers. Through its Vortex partnership, PM Connect is ensuring its carrier partners are in the best position to capitalise on this growth surge.
You can read more on the sector’s role in driving 5G and data usage in the company’s white paper: Cloud Gaming: The Unmissable MNO Opportunity.
