) announced today that it has signed its fifth brand deal after securing a two-year global sponsorship deal with Razer, a leading global brand in the esports world.
Effective from today, the agreement will grant Razer the marketing rights and exposure across Guild Esport’s facilities; this includes the company’s planned 9,831 sq ft HQ, as well as the Company’s social and digital content featuring its professional players and content creators.
The Group, which is co-owned by David Beckham and is the first esport organisation to list on London’s stock exchange, said the total contract value is 80% payable in cash over two years.
While the value of the contract remains confidential, Guild outlined that the balance is payable as value in kind, for which Razer will be providing state-of-the-art gaming chairs for its professional players and content creators globally, along with gaming chairs for the Guild Academy and Guild’s headquarters, which will open in London’s Shoreditch later this year.
Razer, which operates one of the world’s largest gamer-focused ecosystems of hardware, software and services, is also behind the creation of the widely-followed global tournament series, ‘Razer Invitational.’ As a result, Guild Esports believes the brand is a strong partner.
Commenting, Kal Hourd, Chief Executive of Guild Esports, told investors: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Razer, a leading brand that has built a global audience and has been a staple in the esports community for many years. With a shared vision of growth and providing value to our community, we very much look forward to our partnership with Razer.”
