eBook: PLAY to Win with Gaming Video Ad Best Practices
A proven approach to creating top-performing gaming video ads that drive app installs.
Recent trends continue to show that well-crafted, compelling video ad content is among the most powerful online advertising tools. People remember videos for longer, engage more often, and connect with the content—leading to more app installs and confidence in your brand.
Yet in a world where there are more than four billion video views each day on Facebook alone, ensuring your gaming video ad is one that stands out and drives installs, can be challenging. Truth is, the majority of gaming video ads fail. And behind every failed ad is a flawed creative strategy that overlooked some important best practices and design must-haves.
