Adverty appoints Jonas Söderqvist as CEO as brands wakes up to the power of in-game advertising

Adverty AB (publ), the leading in-game advertising specialist, has appointed industry veteran Jonas Söderqvist as CEO, as it readies itself for its next phase of growth.
Jonas will consolidate the team around a refreshed vision and enable Adverty to build upon past successes and ready itself for an incoming wave of interest in in-game ad executions.
Jonas’ career has spanned two decades, including four years as director at PubMatic, a publisher-focused, sell-side platform featuring omni-channel revenue automation technology. During his time within the media industry he has driven sales and management for both publishers and sales houses, Mediakompaniet, MTV, Smartclip, Specific Media, YuMe, TV3 and Metro to name a few.
Having been on the Adverty board for the past two years, he says: “I have always followed Adverty closely – from a client point of view, from a platform point of view, from a board member point of view – and now as CEO. I’m so proud of all the progress made. Everyone in this company is always listening and learning. Now is the time to gather our forces together, to educate those in the industry about our tools and how to use them and to move forward as a team even more efficiently.”
With over 3 billion gamers across the world, and global mobile gaming ad spend expected to hit $131bn by 2025, the in-game advertising business is drawing growing numbers of mainstream brands; its increasingly sophisticated ads yielding highly persuasive results.
For many games in Adverty’s portfolio, time in-view exceeds 25 seconds per paid impression. In addition to significant brand exposure, clients typically find click-through rates in its In-Menu™ ads to be around ten times higher than the industry standard. Adverty’s revolutionary, multi-patented ad viewability system also allows advertisers to translate CPM into cost-per-minute – an important KPI for brand advertising.
With in-game advertising under consideration by a swathe of new advertisers, Adverty is ready to show brands how to achieve the very best results with gaming inventory. In particular, Jonas aims to encourage more creative bravery from brands in order to help them tap into the enormous global audiences to be found here.
“Advertisers and brands have not yet fully grasped the true potential of the inventory that is out there,” adds Jonas. “This is where we come in. All the conversations we have with brands and buyers show that appetite is there, but so is some fear around shifting budget from traditional channels. This is a mistake, given the enormous power of in-game advertising. That power is the reason some of our clients have now run more than 15 campaigns with us. Their results justify their confidence.”
Joachim Roos, Chairman of the Adverty board, comments: “We are delighted to welcome Jonas as CEO. Having worked alongside him for the past two years, we know Jonas’s expertise in this marketplace will help us and our partners to capitalise on the huge potential in this market. We are here to help advertisers and brands grasp that potential and to seize early adopter advantage. As forward-thinking brands start to invest in gaming, the possibilities for marketers to maximise creativity and add value to audiences are immense. Brands have at their disposal the opportunity to own this space. The time is now!”

Bonus Bag feature
TaDa Gaming Delivers Highway Thrills in Chicken Dash

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Award-winning TaDa has taken a favourite joke and transformed it into an immersive and humorous crash release. Simple mechanics, personalised risk management controls and a max win of 20,659.1x are enhanced with slick graphics and a fearless chicken.
And with an expanding bonus bag that fell off the back of a lorry, it’s easy to see why this chicken is so determined to get to the other side.
Players begin by setting their preferred gameplay parameters. Three levels of Easy, Normal and Hard will dictate the level length or number of tiles the bird has to cross and the level max multiplier value.
Strong clear colours and polished visuals set the scene for the determined chicken to make it across the motorway. Beginning on the grass verge, players click to send the bird across the lanes one multiplier tile at a time against the oncoming traffic.
Each safe step will see a safety barrier land to protect the chicken but one false move and it’s game over and back to the grass verge.
Keeping players on high alert, the Chicken Dash feature can randomly trigger multiple times in a game. The appearance and squawking of the rooster starts the bonus feature which protects the chicken from traffic throughout and allows it to pass over two or three tiles in one go.
A Bonus Bag feature can also randomly trigger. Players must land the chicken on the tile where the bag dropped to collect the prize. And the higher the risk level, the higher the prize.
A clear UI and straightforward gameplay mean players can focus on getting the chicken across the road in one piece – and hopefully with the bonus prize – while enjoying Chicken Dash’s crisp graphics and sly details in this high volatility and amusing game.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Chicken Dash is a hugely entertaining crash game that will have players laughing out loud. The cartoon graphics add to the experiential play and we promise no chickens were hurt in making of this game.”

Cash Rain Event
TaDa Gaming Releases Cash Stack

Reading Time: < 1 minute
TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of innovative casino content, is redefining fast-play entertainment with the release of Cash Stack, an adrenaline-pumping crash game that puts timing, control and strategy directly in the player’s hands. With a max multiplier of 100x, Cash Stack delivers rapid gameplay, instant decisions and nonstop engagement.
Built for players who love simplicity and control, Cash Stack starts at a 1.01x multiplier, with the tension rising as players manually tap DROP to increase their payout potential. Every decision carries risk — one mistimed move and the round ends instantly. For those who dare, the game can soar up to 100x before the stack collapses.
The twist comes with the Cash Rain Event, a random in-game boost that can multiply winnings by 0.1x to 10x. Players must hit CASH OUT before the round ends to claim the bonus value, adding a thrilling layer of timing and anticipation. The result is a fast, skill-driven experience that rewards quick reactions and nerve.
Cash Stack embodies TaDa Gaming’s next step in the evolution of crash games — sleek visuals, simple mechanics and an emphasis on player control over automatic outcomes.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Cash Stack takes the essence of crash gameplay and turns it into a true test of timing and instinct. Every round is a balance between greed and precision — do you cash out early or chase the big win? We’ve designed it to be fast, flexible, and highly engaging for players who want to feel in control.”

It requires the vision and dedication of hundreds of people to build bespoke digital arenas, pitches, and immersive experiences that will redefine how athletes compete and how fans engage.”
