How Brands Enter AAA Games Without Losing Gamers
Aug 17, 202646 min
Episode 79 of Brands In Play with Nic Hill and new guest co-host Matt Daly features David Sheldon-Hicks, CEO and co-founder of creative studio Territory Studio. David takes us inside Territory’s work across Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Need for Speed and the new 007 First Light. He explains why a cutscene should never feel like filler, how Territory approaches game cinematics differently from film, and why forced product placement quickly loses players. For brands, his advice is to get closer to developers and stop treating gaming like another media format. The interesting work happens when brands create something custom, strange and specific to the game. Nic and Matt also cover GTA VI’s Netflix premiere, Payday’s move into Fortnite and film, a new movie campaign built as a playable Discord game, and the unofficial KFC UGC gaming content that attracted over 70 million visits on Roblox! #BrandsInPlay #GamingMarketing #BrandIntegration #AAAGaming #TerritoryStudio #GameDevelopment #ImmersiveMarketing Chapters: Intro - 00:00 Announcements - 02:19 News - 05:58 Live Nation | Livewire Interview - 21:50 Subscribe - 45:17 Follow David Sheldon-Hicks - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-sheldon-hicks/ Follow Territory Studio - https://www.linkedin.com/company/territory-studio/ Follow Us: Co-Hosts: Nic Hill - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nic-hill-6553873/ Matt Daly - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dalymatt/ Producer / Editor Edward Regue - https://www.linkedin.com/in/edward-regue-%C2%A9-44b0421b2/ Website: https://www.brands-in-play.com/ #brandsinplay

Live Nation Built an Always-On Music Festival in Roblox | Anubhav Mehrotra & Ryan Dow
Aug 10, 202642 minS1
Episode 78 of Brands In Play, hosted by Nic Hill and Ely Santos, features Anubhav Mehrotra of Live Nation and Ryan Dow of Livewire, who break down the strategy behind Music Festival Tycoon on Roblox. The persistent game lets players build stages, book artists and create festivals of their own. Its latest integration introduces Lollapalooza as the game’s first real-world festival and CORTIS as its first featured artist. As Anubhav explains, the team “built the fun before we added the fame.” They focused on creating a game people wanted to play before introducing major artists, festival IP and brand partners. The result is what Anubhav describes as a publishing strategy rather than a marketing strategy. An established experience that brands can enter without needing to build and maintain their own Roblox game. In this week’s news, Nic and Ely also cover Disney opening its IP catalogue to TikTok creators, the privacy backlash facing Meta’s smart glasses, Netflix’s new branded mini-golf game and Apple’s reported focus on fitness for its future glasses. #Roblox #GamingMarketing #ImmersiveMarketing #BrandedEntertainment #SmartGlasses Chapters: Intro - 00:00 Announcements - 01:24 News - 03:00 Live Nation | Livewire Interview - 16:24 Subscribe - 41:16 Follow Anubhav Mehrotra - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anubhav-mehrotra/ Follow Live Nation Entertainment - https://www.linkedin.com/company/live-nation/ Follow Ryan Dow - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rrdow/ Follow Livewire - https://www.linkedin.com/company/livewiregroupintl/ Follow Us: Co-Hosts: Nic Hill - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nic-hill-6553873/ Ely Santos - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ely-santos-tech/ Producer / Editor Edward Regue - https://www.linkedin.com/in/edward-regue-%C2%A9-44b0421b2/ Website: https://www.brands-in-play.com/ #brandsinplay

Jul 27, 202641 minS1
Episode 76 of Brands In Play explores why Discord is becoming bigger than gaming. Nic Hill and Brandon Iverson are joined by Adam Bauer, Vice President of Advertising Solutions at Discord, to discuss how the platform is connecting community, discovery, commerce, entertainment and play. Adam breaks down how Discord Quests reward participation, why brands need a clear reason to build a server and how campaigns for Mission: Impossible and The Odyssey turned entertainment marketing into interactive community experiences. The episode also explores why most fans do not build anything and why brands should empower the small group of creators who carry a community. Plus, Aston Martin’s digital-only Call of Duty vehicle, Discord’s Trending Games page and Fortnite’s Hot Bat Summer. Is Discord becoming the infrastructure behind the gaming industry?

Brands Are Turning the Sky Into a Billboard
Jul 20, 202633 minS1
The billboard is no longer stuck to the ground. In Episode 75 of Brands In Play, Nic Hill sits down with Kevin Prince, Co-Founder of Heads In the Sky and SkyAd, to explore how drone technology is turning the night sky into a new canvas for brands. Kevin has spent his career chasing attention. Now, he is doing it hundreds of feet above Hollywood. From breaking Guinness World Records to bringing Godzilla and Skeletor to life through thousands of drones, Kevin explains what separates an unforgettable spectacle from another oversized ad. He also breaks down SkyAd, a new approach designed to bring the traditional billboard into the earned-media era. Before the interview, Nic and Ely Santos discuss how Spider-Man: Brand New Day is giving brands narrative real estate inside its wider story, Lenovo’s move from XR toward AI glasses, Fox and Toonstar’s plans for AI-powered branded entertainment, and whether AI scraping could undermine Reddit’s advertising business. Is the sky the future of out-of-home advertising, or will the spectacle lose its impact once every brand starts looking up? Episode 75 is out now. #BrandsInPlay #DroneMarketing #ImmersiveMarketing #BrandStrategy If you're enjoying Brands In Play, make sure to follow the show.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
