    "Within the gaming environment, we were able to offer EuropaCorp a Monaco location and
an Audi sports car, which also feature in the movie. Thus, it was a natural partnership,"

between Asphalt 8: Airborne and The Transporter Refueled creates a truly unique and
engaging ad campaign. Gamers are interacting with the brand for almost two minutes," says
Baudry.

that help further progress in the game. In addition to native advertising, the integrated
campaign features movie trailers and full screen ads across a selection of Gameloft's
games. Gameloft is also promoting the tournament across its social media channels and
website. "The seamless integration of The Transporter Refueled into the Asphalt 8:
Airborne mobile game is a distinctive experience we are thrilled to partner on. The game
allows us to introduce the Transporter franchise to the next generation of thrill-seekers,
" says Tommy Gargotta of EuropaCorp.
