Lately fashion industry has been doing the first attempts of entering the digital game market by placing advertisements within the games. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of fashion advertisements in let's play videos on brand recall and purchase intention, depending on the placement of advertisement. Methodology: The experiment was 2 (no advertisement in environment versus advertisement in environment) x2 (no advertisement on avatar versus advertisement on avatar) between-subjects design.
