INSIDER SERIES: BRANDS & GAMES – Presented by

September 16, 2026 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

New York City

The future of media is interactive, and advertisers are taking notice. As audiences spend more time in gaming and interactive spaces, games are becoming one of the most effective ways for brands to reach consumers where they are already engaged. But for marketers, the opportunity comes with big questions: How do brands show up authentically? What does success look like? And how can companies measure the impact of their investments?

GamesBeat and Overwolf Ads brought together leaders across gaming, advertising, and technology in New York City for GamesBeat Insider: Brands & Games — Presented by Overwolf Ads, an exclusive salon exploring where brands and games go next.

The conversations featured industry leaders and executives sharing the strategies shaping this rapidly evolving space — from building authentic connections with gaming audiences and creating effective brand partnerships to navigating measurement, ROI, and the future of advertising in games.

Now, GB MAX Insider and Premium members can stream the full program on demand, including conversations with leaders from Take-Two Interactive, Ogilvy, JBL, H&R Block, TMA, Overwolf and more.
