For Brett Diamond, Chief Operating Officer at Version1, Rocket League “is a perfect fit for the Undeniably Dairy campaign. It attracts young fans and is a great entry point into esports for all ages. The matches are easy to follow, and it’s an incredibly fun game to watch. Rocket League provides unique engagement opportunities for brands to take an advantageous position as esports continues to grow and expand.”

Esports Insider says: It is always interesting when a non-endemic brand invests in esports, but it is even more interesting when the company comes straight out of left-field — like the dairy industry. The need to reach new audiences and for engaging younger customers is becoming an enticing proposition for everyone, even for milk producers, and esports is ‘undeniably’ one of the best paths to make it.
