Videogame advertising, both in and around game, is effective in driving attention and recall * Three-quarters of gamers notice ads while playing video games * 75% of gamers engage with at least one ad per minute * 81% of gamers engage at least every other minute * ½ second ad exposure is sufficient for a gamer to notice an in-game ad Most gamers believe that ads in games add to the realism and overall experience of playing video games and can have a positive impact. * quot;It's fun to see things in games that are real.quot; * quot;Like in Ghost Recon, you have the Dodge billboards in the urban areas, and I think that is pretty effective... it adds realism because, you know, you see ads in the real worldquot; * quot;I think being in a game is way better because in TV it can sometimes annoy you and stuff and can have a negative effect on a product. But in a game, I think it has a positive effect.quot; Source: Videogame Advertising Engagement Study, July 2007 © Gary Hayes | lamp.edu.au www.muvedesign.com gary.hayes@aftrs.edu.au or gary@muvedesign.com
