Entertainment SIG: Is eSports the Next Big Marketing Opportunity for Brands?

August 9, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

 

Entertainment SIG Event

eSports is competitive video game playing broadcast to a live audience. With staggering audience growth for live-streamed events and the ability to fill major arenas, eSports has become a global phenomenon that’s starting to get the attention of major brands such as Coca-Cola, Nissan, Arby’s and Buffalo Wild Wings. Almost half of the global eSports audience is aged between 18 and 34, a demographic that’s increasingly difficult for marketers to reach via other channels.

On Tuesday, August 9, join Christina Alejandre, VP & General Manager of ELEAGUE, to discover what’s driving eSports’ popularity and unprecedented engagement levels among Millennial males. Attendees will also get an insider’s look at ELEAGUE — the transformative eSports gaming league formed by Turner and WME/IMG that launched its inaugural season this summer.

Joining Christina will be a panel of gaming and media industry influencers for a discussion on where eSports is headed next – and how forward thinking marketers, brands and agencies can leverage this influential shift in entertainment and sports culture.
