Esports Business

Finding and growing your business in esports is one of the more challenging aspects in the industry. You’ve planned an event, spent all this time making sure everything is perfect but you’ve missed the mark entirely with your audience? Don’t worry I’ve been there and I know how it feels.  In addition, worrying about profitability, making sure you’re reaching the right audience, putting on an esports event or preparing to reach out to a new segment in esports is always a challenge.  Since 2011, I’ve run an esports company that went from 500 views for my first tournament to hosting a live event in a hockey arena! I successfully exit BEAT esports (my company) in May, 2020.  My specialty for growing your business in esports is ensuring that you are authentic to your audience and that you’re not missing the mark.  When I started in esports, I wish I had a lot more information and guidance but it simply wasn’t as easy to reach publicly. If you’re looking to get knowledge on growing your esports business (whether you’re a new company or existing company), bridging the gap between as a non endemic entering esports, approaching sales as an esports organization, reaching out to customers in esports, finding an esports niche, strategic planning or consulting in Toronto, Canada. These articles will help you.  If you have an idea, question or need some advice or just simply want to discuss the business of esports with someone, feel free to reach out and I’ll attempt to answer your questions.
