How are they taking advantage of a new full-funnel marketing opportunity? And how are they measuring their success?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instagram, Facebook and X are some of the most deleted apps of 2024, but new brands entering Roblox grew 90% in the first half of this year compared to the first half of 2023. Join GEEIQ as we reveal the 2024 data behind this transformational marketing channel, from UEFA and Versace&#8217;s community building and engagement on Fortnite to Walmart and Paris Hilton&#8217;s real-world commerce and loyalty enrolment on Roblox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charles Hambro is CEO and Co-Founder of GEEIQ, working with the likes of COACH, NASCAR and H&#038;M to utilize gaming and virtual worlds as long-term marketing channels for customer acquisition and revenue generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, Charles was named one of Vogue Business&#8217; 100 Innovators for his relentless pursuit of putting data at the heart of brand activations in a space that too often prioritizes PR and bluff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How are brands in gaming moving beyond press and PR, to performance marketing and
