The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Just noticed that Michael Silberberg Director Global Platforms Partnership Lead (DoubleClick Ad agency) at Google, commented on James Drapers linked in article 3days ago.
Just been watching a bit of FIFA 20 Ultimate Team (FUT) on Twitch and noticed lots of electronic style changing ads (Hyundai, Quantas, Kia, coca cola and addidas. Just wondering if these ads were agreed contract ads added during the writing of the software or these ads are new ads that have been added to the game post release?
Anyone know?
Not seen that JBL advert before, maybe it's the start of the new agency deal.
Most French streams of FM20 have ads for Uber eats, Canal +, Bein sports and Conforama.

German streams showing ads for Bundesliga.com
Whenever I watch any British streams of FM20 on twitch, I only ever see adverts for FM and some charity adverts, whereas French football team streams, seem.to show Uber Eats, Bien Sports, Canal + and Conforama (European furniture company) and Yesterday and English streamer playing FM20 with Italian team Torino, the adverts showed Joma ( sportswear company who make Torino's kit) and Suzuki who sponsor Torino, so imagine little confused as to whether this is BIDSTACKS work or some agreement that FM publishers Sports interactive have?

Comments from RNS on 18th Dec, "In addition the Company is achieving considerable progress in making the Bidstack platform available in cloud gaming services." I've not seen much discussion about this, but surely this could be very promising? Anyone got any more info on this or thoughts on this?
Maybe SI developers of FM20 have allocated all of their pitch side advertising to charities for November see link:

For those who are fans of previous games you will know Sports Interactive are active in the world of social responsibility. Using the in game hoarding advertising to promote Movember and War Child with options to donate. It may only be a small gesture but fair play Football Manager.
A segment from James linked in statement today:
"We are now in the business end of the year. We've stated the targets we are aiming to achieve by the end of 2019 - and as I sit here, nibbling on my white toast, I can say that we are following the path we set out, to enable us to achieve the objectives we want. Executing at speed, in a structured manner - that builds trust with partners and enables frictionless scale.
So, this started as just another post - but, rumour has it, I ran out of characters to get my point across. Let's see how the coming months run - and how this post ages. I'm proud of what the team is achieving - and look forward to sharing more when we can."
NUFF SAID IN MY BOOK
FIFA 20??? You mean FM 20?
You got me excited for a minute, if we get a deal with FIFA 20 which is an EA Sports game it would be massive for BIDS as EA sports also make NFL Madden, NHL hockey which have sold over 100 million copies accross all gaming platforms.
Hopefully EA sports is a company that BIDS are looking at signing a contract with and getting their native ads technology integrated with an EA sports title, especially now they have Bryan Neider on the advisory board. That would be an amazing deal if they could pull it off.
Saw Screwfix and Skybet adverts in FM 2020 alpha/beta version, so maybe these are BIDS work?
Thanks for the info, wasnt aware Bidstack were serving adverts in Soccer Manager. I see adverts for Kappa and Lotto in Soccer Manager 2020.
Soccer Manager ? Football Manager 2020 who is made by Codemasters has BIDS native advertising functionality, not sure BIDS has anything to do with Soccer Manager, but I maybe wrong.
