The pandemic placed a spotlight on esports, as traditional sports couldn’t be played for around a year. As a result, esports flourished. In 2022 alone, the global esports audience has grown by 200 million people, and revenues have increased by nearly 22%. Esports have come a long way since their inception in the early 1990s and are bringing exciting new avenues for all involved. For example, a recent League of Legends Championship held at Staples Center was sold out within 5 minutes of tickets going on sale, highlighting the potential esports explosion on the horizon.
Balancing the playing field for esports
Esport pods are gaming pods designed and produced by Sports Media, Inc. for esports gamers. These pods provide gamers with critical tools needed for success and help ensure fair play among all esport pod participants. Additionally, these pods ensure competitors that success is based on skill and not superior equipment. Our goal is to distribute these esport pods to educational institutions around the country, including high schools, community colleges, and universities.
Our education system is in desperate need of a revamp. Textbooks are outdated and students now identify more with digital learning. This is an exciting opportunity to transform the way we deliver education. We hope to use our esport pod to revolutionize how kids are taught.
According to the Department of Education, there are 1,462 community colleges in the U.S. where esports pods can be used to network and collaborate between institutions, both for learning and competition.
Most esports scholarships offer students $500 to $8,000 annually, but schools are starting to provide full-tuition scholarships as esports grows. In addition, individuals who excel within these schools at esports tournaments can be offered scholarships to go to college.
We can also teach real-world examples in the workforce, such as how to develop a home and become a developer, including how to go through steps like developing land and architectural designs. These educational games will be competitive in order to help students grow and become interested.
Sports Media, Inc. ensures that pods are equipped with high-speed internet, wi-fi, and 110V plug-ins, essentials for enhancing a player’s performance. In addition, esport pods are equipped with built-in cameras so that players can quickly and conveniently record content.
The esport pods come fully equipped with a computer, a wireless mouse and keyboard, and a console.
Sports Media, Inc. works to provide these wireless components to secure an overall organized look.
Sports Media, Inc. believes esport pods are the future for gamers and can help gamers obtain more sponsorships to aid continued student education.
We've got what you are looking for.
Our Media Rights coverage extends to the 34 universities and 192 colleges participating in esports.

If you want more involvement and affiliation with esports and local institutions, then Sports Media, Inc. can provide you with those connections.

Sponsorship sales rights help promote your company’s name, trademark, image, activities, and/or products. These rights enable the use of the product and help exploit a school’s vision.

Marketing and communication activities include:
Sports Media, Inc. wants to help your brand get exposure. We are launching our product to high schools, community colleges, and universities this fall. In addition, we will provide sponsorship rights to companies that want to share their logo and brand with the public. The esport pods offer companies a direct space.
Esports has become the most popular and fastest-growing division of the OTT market. Incorporating OTT platforms with an esports league can increase fan and consumer engagement, develop revenue, and provide more engagement for influencers. In addition, according to Business Today, OTT will be the one area that gains popularity for its gaming options. There has been an additional surge in OTT streaming, especially following the pandemic. As a result, there is a plethora of content that users can choose from and an abundance of categories that suit various preferences.
Spanish broadcast company that provides a Spanish-speaking over-the-top (OTT) streaming service dedicated to esports.
Media service is offered directly to viewers via the internet. The need for a satellite dish network and cable is no longer a necessity. OTT is delivered through a content delivery network (CDN) over the public internet. We are providing cord-cutting customers with convenience in mobility and allowing them to stream more on-demand content. Furthermore, the increasing availability of public wi-fi has helped bolster the growth of OTT providers and services.

NFTs are similar to cryptocurrencies. However, they differ because NFTs have unique qualities that allow companies and individuals to verify, track, and exchange original digital assets. With today’s technology, we can mark authentic and certified JPEGs, GIFs, images, videos, music, and other digital assets and ultimately provide ownership of digital files. As social media and online platforms evolve, NFTs will also extend to other digital goods such as esport skins, Instagram usernames, and hashtags, making these items easily traceable over online marketplaces.
NFTs allow brands to diversify their revenue streams and attract new segments of consumers, ensure no replication or duplication, and guarantee purchasers and collectors that they own a one-of-a-kind work.
