GAMURS are in a league of their own when it comes to delivering engaging esports content and engagement, which is crucial for clients in ensuring they aren’t just sponsoring events, but that those executions have reach within the esports community. With this partnership YKM’s eSports offering delivers unrivaled opportunities for clients and partners, which we are excited to take to market in 2018.
On why GAMURS chose You Know Media:
After researching and discussing partnerships with numerous agencies in Australia, You Know Media emerged as the best fit for our brand and company vision. Their genuine passion for gaming and innovation in designing effective native campaigns for advertisers mesh perfectly with our content strategy, and we are extremely excited to work with them into the future.
You Know Media, started in 2014 by Ryan Cunningham, has grown to be the largest gaming and esports media publisher in the AU and NZ market, reaching over 3.5 million gamers every month through its partnerships with gaming juggernauts such as Amazon owned Curse, Gamer Network, Ausgamers and now GAMURS.
In 2016 You Know Media branched out with its partnership with ESL (the largest esports tournament producer in the world) to offer Australian brands professional esport tournament sponsorships and game integration options; notably including McDonald’s who became presenting partner for StarCraft 2 in a global first execution earlier this year.
