Brands in Gaming

Enter gaming with a
reason to be there.

We help brands find a credible role in gaming through audience strategy, creators, media, partnerships, content and experiences.

The channel comes later. First we define why the audience should care.

Why Gaming Matters

The largest entertainment audience in the world.

Gaming is already where your customers spend their time, attention and culture. The question is no longer whether gaming matters — it’s how your brand wins inside it.

188.8BGlobal games-market revenue, 2025

The Challenge

Reach is available. Relevance has to be earned.

Gaming audiences notice when a brand enters without understanding the culture. The work starts by finding the right audience, community and contribution before choosing creators, platforms or formats, esports teams and sponsorships. We guide you through the jungle and answer your questions:

  • “Which gaming communities actually matter to us?”
  • “Are these content creators and communities a credible fit for our brand?”
  • “How do we generate real relevance in gaming?”
Finding the Role

Start with the reason the brand belongs.

We connect five decisions before defining the activation.

Making the Role Visible

One role. Multiple ways to activate it.

Creator and media.

Combine controllable reach with voices the audience already trusts.

Sponsorship and partnerships.

Turn access to teams, leagues, platforms or talent into an activation with a clear role.

Content and campaigns.

Create formats that work inside gaming culture and across the brand’s wider communication.

Experiences.

Build live and digital moments that give audiences something to participate in.

Specialist activation and experience capabilities with .seven.

From Role to Campaign

A credible idea still needs a working campaign system.

Once the role is clear, we connect creators, media and content around awareness, engagement and action. The campaign architecture makes sure every part of the plan has a job.
