In this episode of Brands In Play, Nic Hill and Albane Prioux are joined by Harry Bienenstock, Head of Growth at Voldex, the powerhouse behind some of Robloxโ€™s top games including Driving Empire, NFL Universe, and most recently, Brookhaven, one of the most played games in Roblox history.

We unpack Voldexโ€™s unique strategy of acquiring and scaling games rather than building from scratch, and what it means to operate at the center of user-generated content (UGC), cultural relevance, and brand partnerships. From NASCAR to Lamborghini, from NFL activations to the nuances of performance marketing in gaming, Harry shares a masterclass in how to do brand integration right.

Learn why authenticity isnโ€™t just a buzzword but the backbone of successful in-game activations.
