One of the biggest questions that advertisers are trying to solve is how to attract the younger generation. Given the fact that over 70 percent of the modern audience are digital natives, esports is a crucial sector to advertisers that want to be seen by this crucial demographic.
However, given that digital audiences are not satisfied with traditional approaches that have worked in the past, advertisers have to come up with innovative ways to promote products. As such, in-game esports activations have started to become more and more prominent. Brands such as Kia and KitKat can be seen plastered across League of Legends’ Summoner’s Rift. Moreover, games such as Football Manager have in-game advertising boards just as a football team would in stadiums.
