Paid Media Ad Placement

Know Where to Spend. Know When to Spend It

Not all ad spend is created equal. Buying the wrong inventory at the wrong time is one of the fastest ways to burn through a marketing budget with nothing to show for it. Effective ad buying requires knowing which platforms give you the best reach for your genre.

HOW WE WORK

How We Launch and Scale Campaigns​

Every campaign follows a proven five stage framework across 500+ game launches on mobile, PC, and console platforms. The process is designed to reduce wasted spend while accelerating large scale player acquisition.

01

Auditing

We start by assessing your current ad spend, platform mix, and campaign history. If you have run paid media before, we identify what worked, what did not, and where budget was wasted.

02

Creating

With a clear picture of where your budget should go, we develop a tailored ad buying plan, covering platform selection, inventory type, budget allocation, and timing. Every decision is made with your campaign goals and cost efficiency in mind.

03

Connecting

We secure the placements. Whether that is programmatic inventory through DSPs, direct media buys with gaming publications, or social platform ad spend across Meta, TikTok, and Reddit.

04

Launching

With placements secured and creatives trafficked, we launch your campaign across all active channels. Every placement is tracked from day one so we have clean performance data coming in as soon as your ads go live.

05

Optimising

Once live, we monitor performance daily. Underperforming placements get paused, budget gets shifted toward what is delivering, and the buying strategy is continuously refined.

FAQ About Paid Media Ad Buying

What is the difference between ad buying and campaign management?

+
  • Campaign management covers the strategy, setup, monitoring, and optimisation of your campaigns. Ad buying is specifically about purchasing the ad space itself—securing the right inventory, at the right price, on the right platforms.

Can you negotiate better rates than we would get buying directly?

+
  • In many cases, yes. Our established relationships with gaming publications and platform partners mean we can often access preferred rates, premium inventory, and placement opportunities that are not available to individual buyers.

Which platforms do you buy ad space on?

+
  • We buy across Meta, TikTok, Reddit, Google, YouTube, and programmatic channels. 

How do you decide where to allocate budget across platforms?

+
  • We start by assessing where your target players are most active and which platforms have historically performed best for games in your genre. From there we build a budget allocation plan that balances reach, efficiency, and intent.

What happens if a platform is not delivering strong results mid-campaign?

+
  • We monitor performance daily and are not afraid to make quick decisions when a platform is underdelivering.

Do you handle ad buying for both PC and mobile game campaigns?

+
  • Yes. PC and mobile campaigns have very different platform priorities, audience behaviours, and cost structures. And we approach each one accordingly.
