Why Canadian Players Deserve the Big US Gaming Activations with IAB's Pascaline Forget

Welcome back to a new episode of The Leaderboard Insights Podcast! If you're interested in the future of gaming advertising and community-driven brand campaigns, you’re in the right place.

Each month, we interview the industry’s brightest minds to uncover in-depth and tangible insights for brands and advertisers looking to add gaming into their marketing mix.

This month, Nathan Lindberg is joined by Pascaline Forget, Senior Media Manager at a global consumer packaged goods company and Co-Chair of the IAB Canada Gaming Committee.

Pascaline began her career agency-side at Havas Media and Initiative Media, went on to McDonald's Canada's national media strategy and activation team, and now plans media across household brands. A lifelong player, she got into gaming through her three older brothers' consoles, fell for Halo, and is deep into League of Legends today.
