People skip ads. Nobody skips a game.
mApp builds playable ads for your business — short, custom mini-games that promote your product using high engagement.Ideal for restaurants, dealerships, retail, gyms, clinics, law offices and universities.
WHAT IT IS
An ad they play, not an ad they wait out.
A playable ad is a 15-to-30 second mini-game that runs inside the apps and games people already use. They tap, they play, they win something real: a coupon, an offer, a glimpse at your latest deals.
You get the attention a video ad has to beg for.
Built around your offer
Stack the burger. Park the car. Beat the clock. The mechanic comes out of what you actually sell.Something to gain
Every game finishes on a real reward, a code, a coupon, a landing page with the latest deals.Runs where people already are
Inside mobile games, on social, on your own site, on a QR code in the window. One game, every channel.WHY PLAYABLE ADS
Ads interrupt.
Games get invited in.
Every business in your market is fighting for the same few seconds of the same scroll. A playable ad doesn't fight for attention: people choose to give it.
Here's the difference.
Attention
A regular ad
Interrupts what you were doing, and gets skipped the second it can be.A Playable Ad
Nobody taps "play" by accident. Everyone who finishes chose to spend time with your brand.Proof
A regular ad
You count impressions, then hope some of them walked in.A Playable Ad
Every win ends on a unique code, so you can trace a play all the way to the register.Standing Out
A regular ad
Same format, same feed, same sale as everyone else in town.A Playable Ad

I've been marketing and communicating for businesses since 2011.
In 2018 I founded Outerslant Media and built Tezotopia, a Web3 game that ranked high on the charts for several years. I'm a graphic artist, copy writer, animator, and game designer, which turns out to be most of what a playable ad needs.
Now, I'm combining my passion for game development and marketing to launch mApp.io, full-service playable ads built to bring in new customers.
