Miela at ICE Barcelona 2026: A Strategic Market Analysis

While major providers and platforms showcased their physical innovations, in ICE Barcelona's networking spaces an important conversation was unfolding about the sector's strategic future. Miela, the renowned marketing agency, played a central role in these discussions, acting as the nexus between international operators and next-generation providers.

With an agenda packed with high-level meetings, Miela's leadership offered a lucid and well-founded vision of the current state of the industry.

Miela leveraged the Barcelona stage to underscore how the relationship between game creators and operators must evolve. According to the agency, the industry no longer competes only among gaming brands, but against any other form of digital entertainment (streaming, social media, video games).

"ICE Barcelona allows us to take the real pulse of the industry. What we see this year is a transition toward efficiency. Attracting traffic is no longer enough; the current challenge is quality, the player's lifetime value (LTV), and the sustainability of the ecosystem," stated Pedro Landa, Miela executive.

The agency concludes its participation at ICE reaffirming its position as a key advisor for those companies seeking not only to survive regulatory and technological changes, but to lead the marketing narrative in the gaming industry for years to come.
