GEEIQ: Key considerations for brands when picking an esports partner
February 19, 2021At present, the esports industry is rejoicing in the abundance of sponsorships, partnerships and campaigns emerging daily. The ever-increasing popularity of gaming is making esports attractive not only to wider audiences, but also to a greater number of brands that are willing to pour their money into the industry.
Progressively more companies, including some of the world’s biggest, are recognising the business potential of esports and are entering the industry, bringing in important finances and prestige.
