About

Pioneer in programmatic intrinsic in-game advertising, operating as a specialist supply-side and demand-side platform for video game ad inventory

Bidstack was an advertising technology company specializing in dynamic, targeted, and automated native in-game advertising solutions for the global video games industry, and the company has since shut down. Having pioneered the intrinsic in-game advertising format since 2017, Bidstack built a network of more than 400 high-quality video games across mobile and PC, reaching a total monthly audience of 100 million people. Its platform enabled brands to place advertisements within natural spaces inside video games without disrupting the player experience, with branded placements ranging from trackside banners and cityscape billboards to pitch-side LED boards and skins. The company served leading game publishers such as Sports Interactive, Ubisoft, and Miniclip, and delivered campaigns for major brands including Apple, Samsung, Marriott Bonvoy, Paco Rabanne, and Doritos. On the measurement and transparency side, Bidstack achieved IAB Gold Standard certification and partnered with MOAT by Oracle for enhanced campaign transparency, while also earning formal Comscore certification for audience validation.
