Gaming has always been a huge business – but its rise in the mainstream is a much newer phenomenon. As the world takes note of this significant, growing player in the entertainment space, it also struggles with what to make of it.
Esports seems the most logical bridge between traditional sports properties and the gaming industry, but for non-endemic decision makers, the road ahead remains a mystery. For many, the lines between esports and gaming are still blurred.
Navigate has produced an Esports & Gaming eBook to serve 3 main audiences:
  1. BRANDS looking to define their gaming strategy
  2. SPORTS and ENTERTAINMENT EXECUTIVES still uncertain about this new frontier
  3. GAMING ENDEMICS looking to bridge the gap with existing players in sports
This eBook explores:
  • Esports and gaming defined — how does the former fit into the latter?
  • Esports and gaming market trends (get ready for some preconceptions to be broken)
  • How to understand key players in gaming ecosystem, as told on traditional sports terms
  • Strategic recommendations for brands, traditional sports and entertainment properties, and endemic entities

 

Esports revenue amounts to .5% of the gaming industry
Esports is a smaller subsection of the gaming industry than many people think
