How are brands tapping into the esports revolution to engage millions?

Esports is rapidly becoming a central part of modern culture, with a global audience expected to reach 640 million by 2025. Brands are now finding innovative ways to connect with this passionate community.

A recent collaboration between G2 Esports and Ralph Lauren exemplifies this trend. The luxury fashion brand released a capsule collection featuring G2’s athletes and content creators at the LEC Summer Playoffs​ (Socially Powerful)​. This partnership not only enhanced G2's brand image but also allowed Ralph Lauren to engage with a younger, diverse audience.

Why This Matters to Marketers

Esports provides access to a young, engaged audience that is difficult to reach through traditional channels. By entering this space, marketers can build brand loyalty with a demographic that values authenticity.

Esports offers brands unparalleled opportunities to reach and resonate with younger audiences. Get in touch to find out how Mana can unlock new realms for your brand.
