I am still surprised when I have to convince people how useful games are as advertising tools. For the last 2 decades in the US, games have been successfully used by companies such as McDonalds, Coca Cola and Ford to promote their brands and products. With the massive growth of casual games (social and mobile), more or less everyone is now a gamer.

So why are games effective advertising tools? Like hot toffee, they are sticky. Sticky content is the holy grail of online content – keeping users engaged for much longer than traditional text or image content. Better still, games are interactive so it is much easier to impart lasting brand messages. For any Irish digital advertiser, I would recommend consider using a game in your next digital marketing campaign. They are cost effective as you can re-use digital assets from other elements of your campaign. Also Ireland is a nation of video game players so you will have a receptive audience.
