This series is designed to be useful to C-suite executives as well as those just starting out in their careers.

The lesson

The 30th lesson in the Crash Course series will cover how marketers can maximise their return on investments from the lucrative gaming market. Gaming is estimated to be a $180 billion dollar industry, which makes it larger than the global movie and music industry combined. Recent research from Deloitte, which looks at consumption of entertainment among different generations shows that Gen Z, a key emerging demographic, consumes about a quarter of their time on online gaming and only 10% of their time on movies and TV shows.

In this lesson you will learn:

How to get started with targeted video ads
Building custom solutions
The esports opportunity
Being authentic and organic with your audience
Why you should plan for a mararthon gaming strategy
