Audiomob, an in-game audio advertising company, said it will pioneer a new way for companies to generate advertising revenues in gaming content globally through a partnership with Abu Dhabi Gaming.
The company, which has its MENA headquarters located on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, allows brands and artists to connect with audiences worldwide through in-game audio ads that keep gamers engaged without any disruption.
