Global head of gaming, Rachel Rakowski 🔜 Develop Brighton spoke to Digiday about how brands show up in gaming and how working with gaming influencers and developers can propel their activations forward. Read more in Digiday here: https://lnkd.in/eMcHQMin
Fortnite and Roblox are thriving by riding the coattails of the very social platforms they aim to dethrone. Brands’ presence is rising inside video games, but actually getting users to spend time inside in-game branded experiences remains a consistent challenge. Simply building a branded world and letting it molder on the platform is not a successful strategy, and some creators have complained that Fortnite’s built-in discovery tool is ineffective at bringing new traffic to user-created maps. #gaming #fortnite #roblox In this piece by Alexander Lee, we speak to Rachel Rakowski 🔜 Develop Brighton of We Are Social, Tom Morris of GWI, Jan-Hendrik Heuschkel of Unlocked, and Gareth Leeding of Livewire.
Why Fortnite and Roblox still rely on social to drive discovery and engagement of branded experiences

Sports marketers are throwing increasing volumes of content at the wall to see what sticks. UK Head of Sport, Joe Weston spoke to The Drum on how ‘it’ may soon hit the fan. Read more👇
As anyone who knows John McCarthy will know, he wants / likes an opinion. So when The Drum came asked for some sporting opinions, I was delighted to have a go at explaining one of the core challenges and (sometime) frustrations I have with modern sports marketing - the prioritisation of volume and speed over quality when it comes to content. Read more ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eHxxbxXA Think a fair few people in my network might recognise a lot of this, some might disagree, some might feel a little challenged. Let me know your thoughts in the comments #sportsmarketing #sponsorships #socialmediamarketing
An overflow of content won't solve the enshittification of sports marketing

There’s no space like… noplace? 👀 Social app noplace hit the no.1 spot on the App Store yesterday. Never heard of it? Here’s what you need to know: 💬 It’s a text-only update platform that until yesterday was invite-only. Rather than using an algorithmic approach, it uses AI - for example to offer summaries of what you’ve missed ☺️ It appeals to younger social media users and has been described by TechCrunch as a ‘modern day Myspace’ - it has profiles, badges, top 8 friend lists, and chats 🤝 It’s old-school social - launched by Tiffany Zhong, noplace is designed to prioritise friend connections and community over entertainment 😏 It encourages users to share what they are doing at present (i.e. status updates… remember those?)
