Queensland Touch Football’s Post

A very fascinating partnership coming out of Luminosity Gaming and Maryville University. While specifics of this deal may be an isolated instance given the current Overwatch 2 competitive landscape. I do think this opens the door to many more partnerships similar to this, particularly with regard to organizations wanting to get involved in challenger's leagues or developing esports titles. Daniel Clerke on twitter mentioned that the name of the game right now is sustainability for esports organizations moving forward. This partnership reduces the overhead for major organizations with regard to operating multiple teams thus making long term operation much more likely. I could very much envision a world in which more organizations start adopting this business practice to operate in more titles. Perhaps we'll see the Call of Duty Challenger's league make a resurgence with more major organizations throwing their hats in the proverbial ring with partnerships from universities with facilities to house, feed, and, more importantly, develop these players as the pursue their path to professional play. Very exciting and interesting times for the world of collegiate esports. https://lnkd.in/eXWCHaXB

Reflecting on an informative and inspiring week with College Sports Communicators at NACDA. A lot of thoughts to digest and share but one to summarize: The more things change, the more the people of this profession come together, lean on each other, adapt and shine. #CSCUnite24

How do you reach a global audience and inspire new followers of your sport or club or athlete profile? That's simple. #SVOD platforms have an extensive footprint across the globe spanning demographics that may never have considered tuning in for live sports events previously. The performance of streamed sports documentaries and the success of Formula 1's Drive to Survive series prove that if you're looking to raise the profile of your competitions or matches: you need to tell a good story. And where better to tell that story than on a global platform? Join the viewing revolution.

🏈 Football season is here, and if you're anything like me, you're a sucker for a good football comparison. If that sounds like you, I've got you covered. Community pros spend A LOT of their time thinking about engagement and retention, and for good reason. Both metrics are pretty important to how we contribute to the success of our team and the products we work on. So, in honor of the return of football season, here are a few plays from my personal community engagement playbook. Community friends: share your best engagement-focused plays in the comments so we can all add them to our playbooks! Hungry for more football/community comparisons?

A big shoutout to Connor Alne and the whole NAECAD team for putting on the National Convention this week. It was awesome to meet peers from around the country and learn how people are finding success overcoming barriers that so many of us face. I wish there were more hours in a day so we didn't have to stop having such great discussions! #professionaldevelopment #esportsEDU #EsportsConvention #GamingCommunity #GamingNews

🚀 We want you to know us better 🚀 Hope you enjoyed the #SCOREPodcast we published last month. However, it's not the only thing we do! Today we are introducing our #SCORELab🏆 SCORE Labs are solution-oriented meetings that we regularly organise to help address problems and challenges the sports industry and its stakeholders face. Each issue is discussed by a group of experts (moderated by SCORE Sport Think Tank members) to identify alternative trends and solutions. The meetings are organised in full confidentiality. We don’t announce the names of the experts to create a safe space for them to share their thoughts and give voice to new perspectives. As a result, we collect different angles and takeaways from the Lab and, afterwards, prepare articles based on the discussion, again without unveiling the names. Yesterday we organised a new Lab on one of the burning topics we emphasized in the article on the link: https://lnkd.in/eBuVbn4z Stay tuned for the output to be published soon!

Many brands struggle to fully activate the sponsorship rights they acquire via their partnership deals with sports and entertainment properties. The bundle of IP-based assets brands get with traditional sponsorships can only take them so far, often due to factors outside of a rightsholder's control. This is a pain point that Athlete-Driven Worldwide is solving for. The ability to amplify existing brand partnerships through athlete storytelling, access to talent, creative content, and strategic distribution means brands can further activate their sponsorships in unique ways that properties are unable to do. If you are a brand looking to level up your sponsorship investments, check out the work our agency is doing and get in touch. #sponsorship #partnerships #sportsmarketing #partnershipmarketing #sportsbusiness #brandpartnerships #athletemarketing
