  • INTRODUCTION

    In short, this is what we offer

    Hello,

    My name is John Bain and I operate one of the largest PC gaming channels on YouTube, releasing daily media to over 1.6 million subscribers. I am also the main sponsor and team owner of Axiom eSports, a talented South Korean eSports team competing in Starcraft 2 at the highest possible level.

    I am contacting you with a view to gauging your interest in sponsoring our team. We are currently in a state of growth and are looking for high quality and relevant sponsors to join us in that process. Please allow me a moment of your time to show you why this is a good opportunity.

    eSports is a growing industry in the US and European markets, as is the market for livestreamed content, which has exploded in the last few years. This translates to immense exposure and ROI for your brand for a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising. Starcraft 2 has competitive tournament content streamed on a daily basis. With tournaments broadcast at any time of day, it is the most vibrant and diverse eSports scene in the world. The sheer volume of tournaments, from tiny grass-roots events, to collegiate leagues all the way through to massive stadium events like IEM Katowice and Blizzard's own WCS Grand Finals at its annual Blizzcon event, provides daily opportunities for sponsor exposure.

    The most potent new media platform of any Starcraft 2 team in the world.

    Exceptional ROI through media platform leverage.

    A team of talented world-class South Korean players.

    Direct in-game exposure through innovations such as the Gameheart sponsor overlay.

    In-house live-streamed tournaments for powerful online brand exposure.

  • live streaming & Event organizationAxiom often organizes its own events. Under the long-time standing brand of SHOUTCraft, weve organized tournaments over the past three years, featuring some of the best known professional StarCraft 2 players in the world competing for cash prizes raised by ourselves.

    One of our latest in-house tournaments, in which our players competed in a round-robin series of games for a $1000 prize attained 15,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch.tv and 126,000 total views on the livestream alone, not taking into account the many more views obtained after the VoDs were posted on both channels.

    SHOUTCraft Clan Wars is a year long tournament sponsored by MLG. Axiom is a frequent participant and the VoDs are produced through the Axiom eSports YouTube channel which has contributed to significant growth and brand exposure. Axiom plays at least two of these events every month and this event has focused on team sponsor ROI including use of the Gameheart in-game sponsorship overlay and between-game team sponsor overlays on Victory and Line-up screens.

  • ROI THROUGH VIDEO PRODUCTIONStarcraft 2 is not the biggest eSport in the world anymore but in terms of ROI is leading the way when it comes to sponsorship representation. Through the hard work of community tournament organisers and programmers, we now have a suite of options to allow for direct in-game representation of team sponsors. No longer do sponsors have to merely rely on seeing their logo on a jersey worn by a player. Gamehearts in-game sponsor overlay projects high definition sponsor logos directly into the game itself. Adoption of this technology is growing and many popular online events have begun to use it, including our own SHOUTCraft Clan Wars which will run for the entirity of 2014.

    In addition to this we frequently update the Starcraft 2 channel with player spotlights, in-house tournaments and videos of players enjoying themselves in or outside the team house. Please cilck on the videos below to see some examples.
