67% of Americans play video games. And yesterday, a room full of LA marketers realized they’re part of that number. 🎮
Yesterday’s Gaming Brunch was SOLD OUT! The energy in that room reminded us exactly why we do this. Great conversations, real connections, and a few mind-blowing stats about gaming that had the whole room rethinking everything.
Thank you to the sponsors and partners who made it all possible: Xbox, Overwolf, Zynga Ads, Admazing Co., Liquid Advertising, and Audacy. And to our amazing committee members!
If you missed this one, don’t miss the next. Our Entertainment Brunch is 90–95% sold out. Link in bio. 🎟️
