OAM Overactive Media Corp

OverActive Media (TSXV: OAM) (OTCQB: OAMCF) (“OverActive” or the “Company”), a global sports, media and entertainment company for today’s generation of fans, today announced multiple sponsorships and renewals. The Company has successfully secured new agreements with AMD and LG UltraGear™ and renewed relationships with Scuf Gaming (SCUF) and Nielsen Sports.

“We continue to build business momentum with the addition of AMD and LG UltraGear, and our renewal with SCUF. Each of these brands are best-in-class in their respective spaces and offer relevant and engaging opportunities and benefits for our audiences,” said Tyler Keenan, Senior Vice-President, Partnerships & Revenue. “In addition to our ability to reach esports and gaming fans, Nielsen Sports will elevate our partner offering through in-depth data and analytics, which we can now implement in Spain.”

OverActive continues to secure interest from new and existing partners across its Toronto Ultra of the Call of Duty League, Toronto Defiant of the Overwatch League and MAD Lions of the League of Legends European Championship esports franchises. The partnership highlights include the following:

• AMD will collaborate with Toronto Ultra and Toronto Defiant for content and activation opportunities. They will be the presenting sponsor of the Toronto Ultra Challengers Tournament, an event that supports the Call of Duty’s path to pro system, taking place at the Toronto Ultra Call of Duty League Major V Tournament powered by Bell from May 25-28, 2023.

• LG UltraGear™ is LG’s line of gaming and esports monitors designed to be optimized for speed and provide an immersive gaming experience through image quality, clarity, and colour. Through its partnership specific to Toronto Ultra, LG UltraGear™ joined as presenting partner for the Call of Duty League Major IV tournament and qualifiers. Together, LG UltraGear™ and Toronto Ultra focused on amplifying the fan experience through product usage and player engagement.

• SCUF has been a partner of OverActive since 2020. As Toronto Ultra's official controller and accessory partner, SCUF provides value to the team through their high-quality custom performance controllers. The brand aims to educate and inspire fans and aspiring pros about the benefits that a custom controller can bring to their game through content and activation opportunities.

• Building on its engagement in North America, OverActive has expanded its relationship with Nielsen Sports, a global leader in sports media and sponsorship valuation, to now include the Company’s European-based brand, MAD Lions. Nielsen Sports helps OverActive deliver comprehensive sponsorship offerings by providing the Company’s partners with sponsorship impact and value reporting.

“Our partnerships fuel the core content we produce at OverActive,” said Matt McGlynn, Vice-President, Marketing & Brand. “Our Toronto Defiant and Toronto Ultra teams are in the top three most followed teams on TikTok in their respective leagues, and our current team social projections for 2023 have us targeting a 13% increase across impressions, engagements and new followers. Meaning, there’s a significant opportunity to build fandom and further awareness in the community.”

OverActive’s partnership efforts are a core part of its overall business strategy. The Company combines its expertise, reach and knowledge of today’s generation of fans to tap into younger consumers to provide meaningful engagement opportunities for its partners. Additionally, having professional esports teams in some of the most notable leagues provides OverActive’s partners with consistent opportunities year-over-year. The Company has a track record of building dynamic, brand-safe content that drives views. Follow OverActive on Twitter at overactivegg for the latest news and updates.
