ABOUT

THE ESPORTS PROBLEMS

FRAGMENTED

There are hundreds of companies operating across the industry and it can often be difficult to differentiate between them.

INWARD-LOOKING

For years industry leaders of all shapes and sizes have been going after the same targets and brands.

RESOURCES

The education piece in esports is still of paramount importance; and resource-constrained companies often spend wasted hours educating before beginning to pitch.

DISMISSED

The apparent risk to major brands and C-Level executives when it comes to entering esports, still often framed or thought of as the wild-west, can lead to it being immediately dismissed.

THE ‘OUTSIDER’ PROBLEMS

TEDIOUS

Most esports operators are busy doing what they do best, and finding the right fit or perfect business partner can take extensive time and energy.

ILL-FITTING

At a glance, and without a full understanding of audience diversity, esports & gaming properties may not seem like a viable fit for certain brands or organisations.

RISKY

Navigating the esports landscape is tricky. It’s difficult to understand what the true & genuine opportunities are, and what the ROI will be for your brand or organisation.

CONFUSING

With each typically promoting a singular perspective, it’s difficult to see all the options out there, let alone realise who can deliver exactly what they need, at the right price point.

WHERE WE COME IN

1

EXPERIENCED

We’ve been at the heart of the industry, promoting and educating about esports through our news, media and events for years. We live and breathe esports, and know what works and what doesn’t.

2

UNBIASED

We believe that everyone we represent under the ESI banner deserves a fair chance and offers a valuable proposition. But this shouldn’t be restricted to a handful of exclusive events per year. Now, via ESI Connect, this opportunity follows us, and you, everywhere.

3

CONNECTED

We have run more business to business esports events than any other company in the world. Our events provide ample opportunity to meet key industry stakeholders & forge valuable business relationships.

4

GLOBAL

We’re based in London and Manchester, but via our network of partners we have global reach and capacity, and in turn are able to assist in a multitude of markets with local expertise and operators.
