NHS Leeds is using digital ads in Football Manager to reach young people.

An NHS mental health and wellbeing campaign targeting previously hard-to-reach young men has chalked up a digital first, by placing geotargeted ads in PC game Football Manager.
Ads promoting MindMate, a service which helps young people in Leeds, will be displayed via clickable on-pitch ads during game simulations.
The campaign is being geotargeted so that only players in Leeds will see the promotion, marking the first time that the NHS has used such tactics. When clicked on, the eight-second ads take players to a relevant part of the MindMate website.
Dr Jane Mischenko, commissioning lead for children and maternity services at NHS Leeds Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which runs MindMate, told The Drum: “Mental health and wellbeing is an important subject for children and young people, so our aim is to signpost MindMate as a resource that they can turn to for support and advice when the time suits them.
“In the coming months we will be hoping to reach as many young people in the city as possible to make them aware of the help available via MindMate.”
Simon Mitchell, chief creative officer at Bidstack, which operates in-game advertising in Football Manager, said: “Bidstack is delighted to be working with the NHS and MindMate to raise awareness and support of mental health issues in young people; males in particular are hard to reach and engage, and the gaming environment in Football Manager is a great way to connect with them.”
The placement will allow the campaign, which aims to promote MindMate throughout the city at roadshows and events, as well as with digital and social media, to speak to a typically hard-to-reach audience. The campaign will last six months.
Bidstack, which calls itself “the eBay of digital out-of-home (DOOH)”, specialises in selling unused DOOH space. The company launched its services last year.

If he was any good at this shares lark he wouldn't have to sell his house.
The customer has a £20 mill spend, takes it to the agent who then spends it in the best way it sees fit ( in this case bids ) then gets a fee from the customer.
He stated in the podcast that the agent gets none of the £20mill, that is split between bids and the game owner.
Thanks for your impartial advice, but I didn’t buy based on JW’s advice so whether he is in or out is of no interest to me. GLA
I think,and I speak as someone who sold a third of my holding on the dip, that on reflection bids are guilty of promising too much too soon. If he hadn’t promised a Christmas pressie and instead promised a nice Easter egg I think we would all have been better off. I have started to try and accumulate my original holding as funds allow and will reassess after Q2.GLA
Oh dear Hartlepoolb your deramping skills are nowhere near as good as your ramping skills, leave it to the professionals mate.
I think you will find that "good xmas break for shareholders" was the RNS containing the "maybe £10 mill" contract, the day after the RNS that decimated the sp. Still holding and hoping. MC & GLA

If Alan Green did sell he changed his mind and bought back in as he mentions that he is a shareholder and awaiting news also that 2020 would be a seminal year for bidstack. GLA
Come on, what news where you expecting from a Christmas get together that may, or may not have taken place, from a company that is in news lockdown. So the answer to your "going bust" question is a big fat ZERO.GLA
Hopefully not the stocking filler we have been promised. Is it over confident or naive to suggest that the flurry of buying is related to news of some juicy contract heading our way. GLA
It's ok to come out but don't take your tin hat off yet.
Jailed for increasing peoples wealth ?, I think not.
The future.
Thank you
to the cricket at Lords today, looks like I will have plenty of opportunity to check in today.GLA
To be fair JW is adjusting his portfolio because he’s expecting a recession not because he doesn’t believe in the stocks he’s invested in.
Caught a glimpse of it on sky sports yesterday, massive audience in the arena. looked fantastic, my only problem was the static advertising around the pitch it didn't look right, now if they could fix that.............GLA
