TECH TALK

Fans want both immersive gaming worlds and compelling storytelling across TV and film, according to data from Fandom’s platform and a new study, Inside Entertainment: The Entertainment & Gaming Tug of War. Top takeaways for advertisers and marketers include:
· There is a symbiotic relationship between the gaming and entertainment industries. Each serves different emotional needs and can complement each other.
· “Switchers” refers to the audience moving away from watching movies and binging TV shows in their free time to do other activities. There is an opportunity to re-engage this audience and pull them back into the ecosystem with new content strategies, like book-to-game or book-to-film cross over adaptations.
· Defining a gaming-specific fan strategy by finding niche pockets, like targeting drama fans or creating book adaptations, is key for reaching high affinity audiences at scale.

“Every industry analysis refers to the battle for fans’ attention across entertainment and gaming but we’ve found that it’s not an either or. In fact, combined, entertainment and gaming experiences strengthen fan connection and deliver incremental engagement,” said Stephanie Fried, CMO of Fandom. “Understanding the interplay between these mediums is key to building authentic and enduring fan experiences; and understanding the value and role of each medium is essential for developing powerful marketing messaging to attract and retain fans.”

Eighty six percent of advertisers consider games advertising as brand safe, and 40% are set to boost spending in the coming year. That’s according to a new study released during IAB Playfronts. “Changing the Game: How Games Advertising Powers Performance Today” also reveals that 85% of advertisers recognize games advertising as a premium, high-quality platform for promoting their brands, and 90% attested to its effectiveness in reaching valuable, hard-to-reach audiences with relevant messaging. “This is the first large-scale quantitative analysis of brands and agencies with experience purchasing games advertising,” said Jack Koch, SVP, Research & Insights, IAB. “Marketers can no longer afford to ignore this medium if they want to reach the more than 200 million U.S. consumers that play video games.”

Wurl announced BrandDiscovery, a genAI-based CTV advertising solution that enables advertisers to align their ads with content in real time. “We know emotional resonance drives positive attention for brand campaigns, leading to higher brand awareness, recall, and reduced cost per engagement for advertisers,” said Peter Crofut, VP of Business Development for Agencies and Brands at Wurl. “Now, with BrandDiscovery, advertisers will have greater control over the context of their CTV ads, more easily earning the attention of viewers and, as a result, improving measured campaign outcomes.”

Entertainment and technology marketing company CTAM is expanding its StreamSafely website alongside its CTAM Canada affiliate. The company’s mission is to combat content piracy and create a centralized hub of streaming options. StreamSafely, which launched in January 2020, positions itself as the industry’s only consumer-facing anti-piracy effort.

SPORTS UPDATE

The free membership offers access to The Open, AIG Women’s Open and other R&A championships; live and non-live golf coverage on R&A TV, its new streaming service; original golf lifestyle content; a golf coaching network with top coaches; rewards and experiences, like meet-and-greets and VIP packages; competitive events and ticket opportunities.

The 4D time-slice video production company 4DREPLAY is providing immersive viewing of season opening MLB games in Korea. It kicked off its coverage with the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres two-game set at the Gochuk Dome in Seoul on March 20-21. “Our mission is to create an unprecedented viewing experience through technology,” said CEO Hongsu Jung.

FOX Sports has shared the broadcast team for the inaugural United Football League (UFL) season. Veteran broadcaster Curt Menefee will join analyst Joel Klatt on the field beginning March 30 for the Birmingham Stallions vs. Arlington Renegades game, with former NFL quarterback Brock Huard reporting from the sidelines. The second half of the day’s double-header will be overseen by play-by-play announcer Kevin Kugler with former Michigan quarter Devin Gardener as the St. Louis Battlehawks take on the Michigan Panthers, with Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt covering the sidelines. Fox Desportes, which will feature an eight-game UFL slate tis year, will be covered by play-by-play announcer Rodolfo Landeros and analysts Jaime Motta and Jorge Carlos Mercader.

The Week 1 NFL game staged in Brazil, the first time a regular season contest is in South America, will stream exclusively on Peacock. The game will feature the Philadelphia Eagles and an opponent that will be announced at a later date, along with the kickoff time. “The viewership success of both Thursday Night Football on Prime Video and the historic wild-card game on Peacock last season are strong indicators our streaming distribution is resonating with our fans,” said Han Schroeder, EVP of media distribution for the NFL.
