EA Advertising

EA's proprietary in-game advertising platform, positioning the company as a direct media owner selling premium, brand-safe inventory inside some of the world's most-played sports and entertainment game franchises

EA Advertising is a platform launched by Electronic Arts that enables brands to place ads and custom content directly inside its portfolio of games.^1,2 It expands EA's ecosystem by allowing brands to integrate into gameplay through dynamic, real-time placements — including stadium signage, digital ad boards, scoreboards, and broadcast overlays — so that advertising becomes part of the game environment rather than an interruption to it.¹ The platform is built on a proprietary ad server and SDK designed for EA's Frostbite engine, enabling ads to be served dynamically within the game with targeting based on geography and flight date, and impression measurement aligned to IAB standards, making EA's inventory legible to media buyers in a way it previously was not.³ Viewability and audience verification are handled through a partnership with Integral Ad Science using industry-accredited standards.^2,3 The platform does not yet support programmatic buying — there is no DSP access, open auction, or automated buying — with EA instead working directly with advertisers and agencies to build bespoke integrations.³ A premium invite-only EA SPORTS Partner Program sits above the core offering, giving a select group of brands access to co-created fan experiences built inside and around the games, including live events such as Madden Bowl and franchise moments like Ratings Reveals.² Source 1: cnbc.com — Electronic Arts launches EA Advertising, a new way for brands ...
