Enthusiast Gaming Teams Up with Frigo Cheese Heads
12 September 2024 - 9:03PM
Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (“Enthusiast Gaming'' or the
“Company”) (TSX: EGLX), a leading gaming media and entertainment
company, today announced that it has teamed up with Frigo Cheese
Heads, the string cheese brand owned by Saputo (TSX: SAP) for
sponsored activations including a media sponsorship of NFL Tuesday
Night Gaming’s (“NFL TNG”) Season 3 debut episode.
Frigo Cheese Heads sponsored the ‘Chomp or Peel’
segment of the debut episode of the popular gaming series in which
talent was put on teams based on whether they “Chomp” or “Peel”
their string cheese. Frigo Cheese Heads also sponsored two pieces
of shoulder content, featuring Super Bowl™ champion T.J Ward and
YouTube gaming sensation Matthew ‘MMG’ Meagher in which they
discussed football and their Top 10 Team Power Rankings.
"We’re excited to partner with Enthusiast Gaming
as a segment sponsor of the debut of its third season of NFL
Tuesday Night Gaming,” said Jenny Englert, marketing director at
Saputo USA. “Cheese Heads is a brand that strongly supports young
people expressing themselves creatively - whether that’s in the way
they make a trick play while gaming or how they choose to eat their
string cheese.”
This premiere episode surpassed 7.4M impressions
in the first week and built upon the success of this summer's NFL
FLAG SPECIAL. Showcasing the increasing popularity of NFL Kickoff,
the season debut increased 30% on its well-regarded off-season
episodes and displayed the continued growth of NFL Tuesday Night
Gaming.
"Season 3 of NFL TNG is all about hosting gamers
and NFL players who want to share in the experience of gaming
together, and NFL TNG’s new couch co-op format delivers that," said
John Norwood, Executive Vice President of Content at Enthusiast
Gaming. “We’re seeing immediate results in this new iteration of
the program, which is delivering strong viewership and retention,
allowing us to target these engaged viewers with integrated branded
moments that build brand awareness and consideration for our media
partners.”
