Especially for those brands appealing for younger crowds. It’s one of the fastest growing mediums of advertising, as PROMO magazine reports here.

Back in the days of the old Nintendo (the first one), Pizza Hut was seen featured in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game as the brand of choice for the pizza eating sewer creatures. Today, as PROMO reports, the possibilities for the brand manager are multiple and way beyond the logo display. Banner ads, advergames (a game developed around a specific product), brand integration and downloadable content are only a few of the options for the marketer to reach consumer gamers.

This only goest to prove that TiVO is not the only concern for the preachers of the :30 second spot, both on the TV side and the client/agent sides. With the release of new consoles by Sony and Nintendo, the advertising lanscape is about to get even more competitive.

Arguably the best game ever!
