    "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,"
says Sylvain Baudry, Gameloft's Head of Advertising in the United States. "The synergy
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.

    Participants in the tournaments have the chance to win a variety of in-game prizes
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.
