An eye-opening look at the rapidly rising growth of gaming and the companies—including Peloton, Burberry, the New York Times, BMW, and Chipotle—that are using games to win over customers.
Today's consumers demand more than products—they crave immersive, personalized experiences. As a result, traditional marketing and engagement strategies have lost their edge. The new frontier? Gaming, where over three billion people worldwide spend their time, attention, and money.

He also delivers a practical road map for business leaders, offering strategies that range from low-risk partnerships to ambitious, full-scale gaming ventures.
Filled with cutting-edge insights and behind-the-scenes stories of iconic organizations and groundbreaking startups, Press Play will help you understand the lucrative world of video games and enable you to offer your customers what they really crave.
