Who is Livewire?

Livewire is on track to become the world’s largest and most effective platform for in-game and around-the-game advertising solutions, doubling its revenue every year since inception.

As the single-entry point for the world’s largest brands to connect with gamers, Livewire seamlessly integrates brands into gaming environments—inside the game, around the game, and through immersive experiences—while partnering with the most loved and trusted game publishers.

Gaming is the next frontier of digital media consumption, a once in a generation revolution that is transforming the way audiences engage with content.

Livewire is at the forefront of gaming’s evolution, not just capitalising on the shift but leading it, defining new ways for brands to engage audiences where they play, interact, and transact.
