Frameplay

Self-serve intrinsic in-game advertising platform

Overview

Frameplay provides a marketing technology platform for intrinsic in-game advertising. Advertisers use a self-serve platform to run targeted campaigns, while developers integrate an SDK to designate in-game ad spaces and earn passive revenue from ads that blend into the game world, such as billboards or posters. Ads are measured with the Intrinsic Time-in-View metric, and Frameplay Exchange unifies inventory from multiple providers for buyers. The goal is to help brands reach engaged players without interrupting gameplay and to give developers a steady monetization stream.
