For Japanese game companies exhibiting at gamescom 2027

Make your gamescom presence reach German gamers.

gamescom takes place every August in Cologne, Germany. Fairplay Management brings its German-speaking gaming creators and its experience in running Twitch live streams to your booth: creator visits, live streams and pre-show campaigns that carry your presence beyond the show floor.

The first online meeting is free of charge. We are happy to schedule calls in the Japanese late afternoon (German morning).

Why Creators

Take your booth beyond the show floor.

Standing out among so many exhibitors at a German trade fair takes more than the booth itself: what you publish before the show and outside the halls matters just as much.

Told by German-speaking creators

Young Germans tend to trust recommendations from creators they follow more than ads. Instead of translated material, German-speaking creators present your game in their own words.

Reach fans who are not there

Twitch live streams combined with posts on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok bring your booth and first play reactions to fans across the German-speaking region who cannot attend.

Build anticipation early

Publishing in German ahead of the show encourages fans to visit your booth and gets the conversation going before the doors open.

Compliance

German ad disclosure rules, handled.

As with Japan’s stealth marketing rules, creator posts and streams in Germany must be clearly labelled as advertising.

Correct ad disclosure

Every post and stream is labelled as advertising in line with German law and case law. Posts are checked by us before they go live.

Approval in advance

Scripts and posts are shared for approval beforehand, following your own or your publisher’s sign-off process.

Safe even when live

An escalation path for the live broadcast is agreed in advance, including cutting away on the spot if needed.
