Why choose in-game advertising
A full-service approach to in-game advertising
Programmatic advertising services automate ad operations through algorithms and programs, saving advertisers and publishers time, effort, and costs. When a person lands on a website, it offers a programmatic advertising space to the supply-side platform (SSP). The SSP shares key information (browsing habits, location, demographics) with the demand-side platform (DSP).
With predetermined parameters in place, the SSP determines what kind of ads would be most valuable, and the advertisers place automated bids on the digital advertising space. The SSP then selects the ad with the highest bid to display. All these happen in less than a second. Unlike traditional advertising methods that are slow and less measurable, programmatic media buying offers a fast, efficient, and data-driven way to reach the right audience and maximize ROI.
Our custom, high-impact campaigns connect with gamers when they’re most engaged by delivering high-impact ads that feel natural, immersive, and most importantly, impossible to ignore.
Unskippable & immersive ads
Stop fighting for attention. In-game ads blend into gameplay, offering authentic, non-disruptive experiences for players.
Hyper-targeted audiences
Gamers are more than just players—they’re communities. With in-game advertising, reach niche audiences based on demographics, interests, and behaviors.
Cross-platform reach
Whether it’s on PC, mobile, or console, in-game ads reach your audience effectively, wherever they are.

The Influence Agency is phenomenal. They’re incredible outside-the-box thinkers and we’re a great alternative to the traditional marketing efforts taken for the NFP I work for. We worked directly with Stephanie and Tom, both who had a high level understanding of the industry and a completely professional approach to social promotion. Looking forward to working with their team again!

Global Digital Lead
Working with The Influence Agency to help launch our TikTok and Pinterest ad campaign strategies over the last 9 months was one of the best decisions we've made this year. We searched across Canada for an agency to align with our vision and marketing needs and found that their offerings and ratings were second to none. It's been a dream to work with both the team who were not only terrific and quick communicators (even with the time difference!), but also very professional and knowledgeable - clear experts in their field. We've been happy with our results and would recommend TIA!
Natasha Eng
Director, Social Media and Marketing
Wow – what an event! We are still buzzing over here. It was truly a memorable evening. The attention to detail was particularly impressive. Every element, from the décor, the drink menu names, the photo booth, the signage, etc., was meticulously planned and executed. It’s clear there was a lot of thought and care into making the event special.
We appreciate all the hard work that went into making our new line's launch party successful.

Manager, Media, Global Marketing
Having blogged for 10 years and having worked with a plethora of agencies, The Influence Agency team has been one of the top agencies I've connected with. Their ability to both balance creator relations and interests, while maintaining the priorities of their brands is incredibly impressive. As a creator, the team is always supportive and responsive and truly makes developing branded content seamless! I always look forward to working with them!

Working with The Influence Agency has been an exciting and engaging experience. We appreciate their in-depth knowledge of the influence marketing space and their ability to align our mission with top influencers who help drive awareness of our fundraising initiatives"
Glenn van Gulik
Secretary for PR and Territorial Marketing
At Universal Music, we are frequently tasked with launching new albums and products with little to no notice which can prove challenging for traditional agencies.
The team at the Influence Agency have proven time and time again their ability to be both nimble and efficient at delivering influencer campaigns that are strategically targeted, creative and most importantly impactful with our artists audiences.
Fraser MacKenzie
Senior Director Digital

We've been leveraging their expertise for over 12 years, and couldn't be happier to have them on our side. They take pride in what they do, and have put together an incredibly versatile team that can take care of all of the digital services we require. Highly, highly recommend our friends at TIA.

It was amazing to work with Stephanie and Kitty on our holiday Influencer programs. Responsive, professional and hard working - perfect partners! - would recommend over and over!
Andrew Verescak
Senior V.P. of Business Development
The Influence Agency put on one of my favorite events ever for the launch of youtheory in Canada! The vibe was unmatched, with staff and creators enjoying themselves equally on the rooftop. It was also very diverse - both men and women were in attendance, which is rare since these events are usually female-dominated. They also didn’t forget us mature creators! It was refreshing to be part of a launch that values my age group. Thank you so much for the invite, TIA! More brands should take a page out of your book.
