On the partnership with Ridley Scott Creative Group: Christian Lamb of RSA Films and the Creative Lead for ESPAT TV and Molly Bohas of Black Dog Films, both on behalf of Ridley Scott Creative Group will be an intrical part of the Enthusiast – ESPAT TV relationship. As Ridley Scott Creative Group identified the role gaming/esports will have in the future of produced and immersive content, that excitement led to the groundbreaking partnership between our organizations. To be aligned with directors and producers from such a legendary organization, who’s committed to bringing stories from the gaming community to the streaming screen and ultimately the silver screen, is a moment we will all celebrate.

“Partnering with Enthusiast Gaming is an amazing opportunity, and we are excited to produce cutting edge content. We share the same creative vision and always put the gaming community first. This partnership is about growth, aligning with the largest gaming community in North America. ESPAT TV team continues to exceed my expectations with their ability to develop stories and relationships. Our goal is to make the ESPAT TV name synonymous with first-class storytelling, entertainment, and narratives,” said Dante Simpson, CEO of ESPAT TV.

ESPAT TV’s announcement earlier this month that it had signed a partnership deal with Ridley Scott Creative Group was a pretty big deal for the esports industry, though it sure seemed like most people didn’t get the importance of it. ESPAT TV CEO Dante Simpson laid out the particulars.

In an interview with SBJ Esports on Monday, MGG CEO and founder Ben Spoont said that it felt good to be the first esports organization to join the group: “We are really excited to be the first esports team to partner with ESPAT TV and we’re going to leverage our sales and partnerships teams. If there is an opportunity for us to leverage our brands and brand deals and theirs into the branded content, then we’re all for it. Although I will say, I think as you see the types of content that are successful on OTT platforms, there’s less brand integrations than normal, but that is not to say that we won’t try to do it.”

“Esports has become the largest revenue generator in the entertainment world, and we’ve begun to witness a lot of cross-over between sectors,” said Jens Zimmermann, PRG’s Global Sales Officer. “PRG’s global footprint, history of product innovation and work across the television, sports, esports, and music industries uniquely positions us to provide the most cutting-edge and integrated solutions to brands, content creators, and designers.”

"The Martian" and "Gladiator" director's global studio, the Ridley Scott Creative Group, is joining an esports-centric collective headed by gaming content producer ESPAT TV.
