Góes added: “I wanted to be a football player, I ended up becoming a professional Free Fire player. I never dreamed that one day I would be part of a company like Casas Bahia, I don’t even have the clothes for that (laughs), especially with an important position as Head Creative of Games! I’ll be able to give ideas and give my opinion as someone who is part of the gaming community. I’m really excited!”
Nobru is also the brand ambassador of energy drink TNT, which also sponsors Fluxo. The organisation is also sponsored by Booyah! and Razer Gold.
Esports Insider says: Free Fire is a phenomenon in Brazil. Being a very accessible game that can be played on almost any smartphone, influencers like Nobru have a strong connection with many layers of the gaming community. This allows a non-endemic brand like Casas Bahia to target this demographic, communicating with a younger audience in various economic groups.
