Samsung Ads GameBreaks are an immersive advertising solution from the tech brand that encourage consumers to interact with the on-screen ads for greater engagement. The ad feature taps into the popularity of video games amongst consumers and offers a frictionless way for brands to incorporate into the experience rather than simply displaying a static ad. The ad games are reported to deliver a significant boost in brand recall, outperform standard video ads and are also more popular with consumers over traditional commercials.
