Summary

  • Samsung Ads, the advanced advertising arm of Samsung Electronics, is expanding its GameBreaks portfolio of interactive TV advertising titles to include four new games, which are claimed to deliver a 1.5 times higher engagement than standard video ads.
  • The first title to be made available to advertisers is Ripplash, a word-guessing game that reveals images through animated water ripples, which can be co-branded and customised to align with different verticals.
  • The remaining three titles, Pop Off, Finish Line, and Eye-Q, will be rolled out this summer.
  • GameBreaks transforms traditional advert breaks on Samsung TV Plus into interactive moments that provide customer experiences shown to improve brand recall, with 89% of viewers preferring them over traditional breaks, according to Samsung Ads and MediaScience research laboratory.
  • Samsung is also looking at ways to make social game play more accessible and the company believes the future of TV is becoming more interactive.
