~ Expanded relationship deepens Super League’s revenue diversification through AdArcade’s patented format that outperforms standard playable ads by 3x ~
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super League (Nasdaq: SLE), a leader in engaging audiences through playable media, content, and experiences within mobile games and the world’s largest immersive platforms, today announced the expansion of its partnership with AdArcade, creators of Native Playables®, a patented mobile ad format that delivers 3x higher engagement than other mobile playable ads. This exclusive relationship enables Super League to offer consumer brands and media agencies a unique, scalable, full-funnel playable solution with access to 220 million monthly US gamers.
Native Playables are interactive ads that match the gameplay a consumer is already enjoying and are available in more than 25 popular mobile game formats. Native matching leads to higher ad performance across key metrics, with return on ad spend (ROAS) as high as 13x compared to standard playable ads. A brand’s video creative can also run in sync with the playable unit, ensuring consumers both watch and interact with a brand’s tested and approved messaging, logos, and iconography.
“Expansion into mobile games is a key pillar of our revenue diversification strategy that we believe will comprise 25% of our 2025 revenues,” said Matt Edelman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Super League. “Two out of three people under the age of 40 play video games - we anticipate that soon will be three out of four under 50 will. Brands that embrace playable ads and content now are positioning themselves to lead in the next era of consumer engagement. Our data shows Native Playables outperform every other ad format in mobile gaming interstitial and rewarded inventory. This partnership strengthens Super League’s ability to deliver full-funnel value - from massive awareness to targetable, measurable conversion - through scalable, brand-safe media.”
Live deployment of Native Playables takes less than two weeks from when a campaign is greenlit due to AdArcade’s automated system, enabling the rapid and efficient production of multiple playable ads specifically designed to match the gameplay formats played by the exact demographic audience a brand needs to reach. Actual ad creation requires just hours, with each playable generated from a brand’s pre-approved video or audio creative.
“Super League knows how to excite brands about the power of playable media to connect with young consumers and produce tangible business outcomes. Our Native Playable® product extends this opportunity by delivering superior results across the vast, multi-generational mobile gaming audience,” said Bobby Wells, Chief Executive Officer of AdArcade. “The synergy of this partnership is a big win for brands and agencies who recognize the potential and ease of execution from a single-source, omni-playable strategic partner that can efficiently and effectively engage the enormous mobile gaming audience of all ages, wherever they are gaming.”
Native Playables reach audiences who play the world’s most downloaded casual and hyper-casual mobile games, further broadening Super League’s solutions for brands and agencies to engage the tens of millions of Millennials and Gen X who play, alongside the Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers who also play Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite.
