Latin America Digital Advertising Market Trends:

Increasing In-Game Advertising Trend

In-game advertising embeds promotional material within the game itself, providing an immersive and non-disruptive experience for the user. This new technology takes advantage of the interactive nature of games to naturally engage players, for example, by including branded billboards in a racing game or virtual goods in a simulation. By merging ads into gameplay, advertisers are able to grab attention without interrupting the user experience. This method takes advantage of the high rates of engagement on games, which can reach those who would disregard normal advertisements. Furthermore, in-game advertising supports accurate targeting on the basis of player behavior and demographics. For example, Stagwell and Anzu collaborated in a strategic partnership in June 2024 to develop improved in-game ad experiences. Anzu's state-of-the-art in-game ad platform will combine with Stagwell's digital and creative experience to provide novel ad formats to brands. The partnership hopes to ride on the exponentially increasing gaming audience, offering non-intrusive ad placements in several gaming platforms. The alliance hopes to reinvigorate in-game ads through the introduction of genuine and immersive experiences among the gaming fraternity. With the ever-increasing popularity of gaming, particularly mobile gaming, this approach presents an interesting and impactful method for brands to engage consumers within a contextual space.

E-Commerce Expansion

The pandemic of COVID-19 greatly spurred the adoption of e-commerce throughout Latin America, with lockdowns and social distancing forcing customers to online shopping. It caused a boom in the need for digital services, with increasing companies investing in e-commerce platforms to address evolving consumers' needs. E-commerce in Brazil is growing very fast at 14.3%, expected to hit over US$200 billion by 2026, as per industry reports. Consumers in Brazil are also adopting online shopping in large numbers, with 67% opting for Instagram, 51% for YouTube, 37% for Facebook, and 13% for TikTok to search for products. Popular digital marketplaces such as Mercado Libre and Amazon have made the most of this boom and are expanding their presence in the region. These platforms now provide broader product portfolios and services, offering brands further digital advertising and product placement opportunities. Consequently, e-commerce has emerged as an essential channel for companies, with online marketplaces promoting greater visibility and interaction through targeted marketing and tailored shopping experiences.
