Slash Football extends Sky Q relationship
Brave Bison's football entertainment brand, Slash Football, has
extended its relationship with Sky Q. Sky will be licensing over
300 videos from the Gen Z fan-focused football channel, content
that will feature within the Online Video section of their next
generation Sky Q platform. The agreement follows a four-episode
licensing agreement over the summer during the World Cup.
The licensed content will sit within its own tab on the Sky Q
interface and will include content from some of YouTube's most
famous influencer football teams including Rebel FC, Baiteze Squad,
Eltham SF and SE Dons.
Slash Football will also be creating 30 brand new episodes of
grassroots football content that will be exclusive to Sky Q
customers.
Slash Football is the latest addition to Sky Q's unrivalled
catalogue of online video, box sets and apps including YouTube,
Spotify and Netflix, making it easier than ever for customers to
enjoy the very best content in one place for the ultimate
entertainment experience.
Claire Hungate, Chief Executive Officer, Brave Bison, commented:
"Sky Q is a ground-breaking entertainment platform, perfectly
suited to the Slash Football viewer who was likely born with a
smartphone in their hand, streaming content across multiple
screens, whenever they choose. We're hugely excited to be
partnering with Sky in another innovative distribution deal,
extending the reach of our content to traditional TV viewers and
illustrating the importance of owning the intellectual property
(IP) rights of our content. Therefore, as well as being one of the
biggest online media publishers in the World (ranked 5th in
September according to Tubular Labs*), we're engaging with
audiences on TV sets too."
This agreement demonstrates the strength of Brave Bison's
service offering to brands and emphasises how the Company is
disrupting the existing sports ecosystem through its engaging
influencer and social video content. Whilst the fees payable are
not material to the Company, they are commensurate with the
services being provided.
