Johanna Nymberg to bring Adverty’s seamless in-game offering to more game developers and publishers worldwide

Leading in-game advertising platform, Adverty, has announced the hire of Johanna Nymberg as Director of Business Development, to spearhead further growth for the innovative company. This follows on the back of the launch of new offices across Europe and APAC and a raft of senior hires earlier this year.

Adverty’s mission is to deliver seamless advertising which connects brands and audiences through its revolutionary technology built for gaming.

Nymberg will be responsible for driving publisher revenue globally for Adverty. With extensive experience in the digital media sector, she was most recently Senior Publisher Growth Manager at AdColony, one of the largest mobile advertising platforms in the world, working from both London and Singapore.

She will work alongside Niklas Wallgren and Christian Atack to liaise with publishers and game developers globally, widening access and awareness of Adverty’s unique In-Play enabled in-game advertising SDK.

“Adverty’s formats are a great advantage to brands and publishers. As it is still a new ad monetisation format, this makes the role even more exciting. Adverty is genuinely setting a new standard for generating revenue and I will be driving new game integrations and expanding the use of the platform via high-value deals and strategic, long-term partnerships, further establishing Adverty as the leading in-game advertising company,” says Johanna.

“We are delighted to welcome yet another industry heavyweight to the team,” adds Niklas Bakos, CEO and founder of Adverty. “Johanna is a well-respected leader with deep experience in the gaming space and excellent contacts within the publishing industry, and always at the forefront of industry developments.”

The expansion of the business follows ever-increasing numbers of advertisers looking for in-game advertising at scale, and for publishers who want to monetise their gaming inventory with unobtrusive brand advertising.

“In-game brand advertising is currently experiencing significant growth worldwide and Adverty’s formats are super exciting compared to traditional banners and display”, adds Johanna. “Game developers are keen to seek out new ways to work with brands and drive revenue, without reverting to intrusive formats that are detrimental to the gaming experience. Adverty’s offering represents the future of in-game monetisation, in one of the most unchartered frontiers of the media world.”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
