Working with trusted partners like TotallyAwesome is a real validation of our solution, and we can't wait to get this partnership underway."

Gary Fung, Regional Gaming Director, TotallyAwesome, added:

"Considering how the industry has evolved in recent years, there's such a timely opportunity for brands to connect at scale with young gamers in a safe and meaningful way. But what's vital is that brands know where online is appropriate for that age group and understand what truly motivates kids, teens and older Gen Z. At TotallyAwesome, our core mission is to support a safer online future for young people while enabling brands to connect with this multi-hundred billion dollar industry at scale - the latter point being one reason why we're delighted to partner with Bidstack and the vast advertising inventory they have built up across all major gaming platforms."
