# Gadsme

> Gadsme is the in-game advertising platform that places clickable, native ads directly inside video games across mobile, PC, and console.

Gadsme renders ad placements as native in-world assets (billboards, posters, screens) organically within gameplay. No overlays, no interstitials, no pop-ups, no interruption to the player. Gadsme launched the world's first clickable in-game ad units, enabling full-funnel performance marketing inside games -- not just passive brand awareness.

## What Gadsme does

Gadsme connects brands with gaming audiences through non-disruptive, clickable ad placements rendered natively inside video games. The platform serves two sides:

- **Advertisers** (brands and agencies): run brand and performance campaigns inside games with real-time reporting, transparent KPI tracking, and click-enabled ad formats.
- **Publishers** (game studios): monetize with native in-world ad placements that increase revenue without hurting player experience, session length, or retention.

## How it works

1. Game studios integrate the Gadsme SDK into their games.
2. Ad placements are defined as native surfaces within the game world (billboards, posters, digital screens, banners inside stadiums, etc.).
3. Ads are rendered in real time during gameplay. Players see them as part of the environment.
4. Ads are clickable -- players can interact and convert, unlike passive in-game ad solutions.
5. Advertisers get full real-time reporting on impressions, clicks, viewability, and attention metrics.

## Key differentiators

- **Clickable ads**: Gadsme is the first platform to offer clickable in-game ad units. Competitors (Anzu, Frameplay, Bidstack) only offer passive brand awareness with no click-through.
- **Exclusive supply**: Inventory is only accessible through the Gadsme platform via proprietary SDK integration. No multi-SSP exposure, no reseller stacking.
- **Attention efficiency**: Ads are placed inside high-attention gaming moments, increasing visibility and reducing ad avoidance. In-game ads on Gadsme consistently outperform web, social, and CTV benchmarks.
- **Non-disruptive**: Zero impact on gameplay. No overlays, no interstitials, no forced views.
