The collaboration will also involve the creation of original content.
Another major player in the esports market is OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF), an esports and entertainment company catering to todays generation of fans.
Over the last few months, OverActive Media has solidified its position as a major player in the esports world by acquiring two widely popular esports franchises, gaining new major sponsors and increasing both its audience engagement and viewership statistics across the leading streaming and social media platforms.
Partnerships With Brands Drive Esports Growth
Since adding KOI and Movistar Riders to its portfolio, OverActive Media has seen a significant uptick in viewership thanks to the popularity of the teams which have over 100 million dedicated followers and the social media cred of its co-founders Ibai Llanos, a world-leading Twitch streamer and former FC Barcelona football legend Gerard Piqu.
OverActive Media has seen its viewer numbers soar in games like League of Legends, VALORANT, Counter Strike 2, and Call of Duty. The Mad Lions KOI team's performance, drawing a record 741,000 viewers in one match and 4.7 million Twitch views thanks to Ibai, has outshined even top TV show finales.
In January, MAD Lions KOI and Movistars led the esports category in viewership and total engagements across major social media platforms in Europe and North America. It was also a top five brand globally during the same period. Their success continued with a historic 830,816 viewers for a single match, surpassing average NHL game viewerships.
Our ability to captivate a massive, global audience is pivotal to our success. The immediate surge in engagement and viewership after announcing the acquisitions highlights the strategic value of our operations and solidifies our leadership in the esports industry," said OverActive Media CEO Adam Adamou. "Merging our existing business with these acquisitions opens new vistas for viewer engagement. The enthusiastic response from our fans and partners reaffirms our direction and commitment.
The company has also bolstered its portfolio of noteworthy partnerships. On February 28, OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF) announced a multi million dollar sponsorship with Telefnica, one of the largest telephone operators and mobile network providers in the world.
Telefnica, which is a long-time partner of Movistar Riders, renewed its sponsorship for three years to the end of 2026. The expanded partnership includes select naming rights, brand visibility on team gear and products, and collaborative content development and marketing. In 2022, Telefnica took a minority stake in Movistar Riders. With the completion of these acquisitions, Telefnica will transition to becoming a shareholder in OverActive Media.
Telefnica is the latest addition to OverActive Medias roster of partnerships which includes respected brands including Bell, who is also a shareholder of the company, as well as Kappa, Red Bull, TD, Razer, SCUF and AMD.
