Gameloft Advertising Solutions has partnered with video inventory management platform SpotX to serve targeted video ads to gamers programmatically.

Using Gameloft Advertising Solutions' deep first-party data, advertisers will be able to target campaigns at a granular level and access premium video inventory programmatically.
