Marketers interested in placing advertisements in games for PS3 or publishers with available in-game space for advertisements are able to engage through advertisement distribution partners, with IGA Worldwide selected as PS3\u2019s first partner.  This partnership will serve to bolster the already rapidly growing worldwide in-game advertising industry, which is expected to grow 1,150 percent to $971.3 million between 2006 and 2011 according to the Yankee Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box02\">\n<p>\u201cThe PS3 platform is primed to leverage the high growth potential of the in-game advertising market,\u201d said Phil Rosenberg, Senior Vice President, SCEA. \u201cAds that are organic to the environment not only benefit developers and advertisers, but also create a richer experience for gamers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box02\">\n<p>\u201cPLAYSTATION 3 is undoubtedly the prime opportunity for the in-game advertising industry,\u201d said Justin Townsend, CEO, IGA Worldwide. \u201cThrough this partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment, IGA can provide advertisers with a large and valuable global user base of 16-35 year old consumers with disposable income.  With our standardized awareness-building advertising formats being delivered directly into people\u2019s living rooms while they play, there are great opportunities for advertisers looking to engage through an entertainment medium outside of the traditional TV spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box02\">\n<p>PS3 provides advertisers with a direct avenue to reach the highly targeted, sought after gaming demographic, and has sold more than 12.5M units worldwide.
