Layer Launches AI Playable Ad Generator for Game Studios
Layer, an agentic creative platform for game studios, has launched Playables, an AI-powered feature that generates complete HTML5 playable ads within hours rather than weeks. The tool addresses the production bottleneck that limits playable ads to tier-one titles, despite them being among the highest-converting formats for user acquisition. The system accepts inputs such as game titles, prompts, creative briefs, screenshots, or gameplay capture, and produces network-ready, MRAID-compliant ad units compatible with major networks like AppLovin, Meta, TikTok, Google App Campaigns, Unity Ads, and ironSource. It supports various genres and allows marketers to modify mechanics and visuals via chat prompts. The feature is available immediately to all Layer subscribers at no extra cost. Layer's platform is already used by studios including King, Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Wildlife Studios.
EA Launches Targetable In-Game Ad Platform
Electronic Arts has launched its first advertising platform, a proprietary ad server and SDK built for its Frostbite game engine that makes in-game inventory available as targeted, measurable media across EA Sports titles (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, College Football 26). At launch the system supports geography and flight-date targeting, CPM-based dynamic media (priced roughly $1–$10 depending on title and placement) alongside bespoke sponsorship deals, and aligns impression measurement with IAB in‑game standards. EA partnered with Integral Ad Science for viewability/IVT verification and LiveRamp for matching identity cohorts to EA’s persistent first‑party ID. Early advertisers and partners named include Visa, Coach, State Farm, Gemini and Domino’s.
adWMG Unveils Self-Service Ad Platform for Publishers
adWMG has launched a self-service monetisation platform that lets web publishers create, configure and deploy ad formats without manager or technical back-and-forth. The web-only platform generates ready-to-use code and required integration assets (JS, VAST, Prebid ID), supports formats and integrations including display, video (outstream), in-banner, fixed, Prebid and VAST, and provides real-time performance metrics (revenue, CPM, impressions). Onboarding involves adding ads.txt lines, receiving platform access, domain verification and ad-format selection after approval. The system offers automated NET20 payouts and aims to reduce reliance on intermediaries, speed placement launches, and give publishers greater operational control over monetisation and optimisation.
