Last week, Clix and Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons teamed up with kids from The Salvation Army and competed in a series of epic challenges to see who was the "ultimate boss" (thanks as always for the partnership HUGO BOSS). The teams faced off in Madden, flag football and other games and activities at the Cowboys practice facility. Love seeing Clix doing well by doing good! Great stuff Darren Glover Brendan Z.! #vaynersports

Couldn’t be more proud of our client Clix for what’s he’s done this past year competitively, and as a creator to be nominated for the Esports Awards Content Creator of the Year. 1??: Let’s chat competitive ESPORTS first: He is the largest streamer in esports; streaming any and all competitive events (putting himself in an even harder position as he puts up with stream snipers and griefing). Finishing top 15 in all events, including his highest placement to date of 4th, here are his metrics from this past years FNCS Grand Finals events: ??FNCS Grand Finals Day 1 = 100,000 peak viewers ??FNCS Grand Finals Day 2 = 130,000 peak viewers ??FNCS Grand Finals Day 1 = 150,000 peak viewers ??FNCS Grand Finals Day 2 = 80,000 peak viewers 2??: Now, as a creator: ??

Verizon 3. State Farm 4. HUGO BOSS … (to name a few) ??As co-owner of XSET, he strategically signed the eventual Esports World Cup Fortnite Champions, in addition to a handful of the worlds best female esports athletes in Fortnite. These girls eventually went on to win the $175,000 Milk Cup featuring Fortnite Championship — all while Clix hosted multiple watch parties to support the team — in addition to his Finals watch party which peaked over 25,000+ viewers! ??He has grown 2x TikTok accounts to over 2.5M followers — in addition to averaging over 30,000,000+ monthly views on his Snap Inc. ??And this past month he ran a full marathon for YouTube to help raise over $50,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute thanks to his community, NOBULL , HUGO BOSS and Buffalo Wild Wings Whether it be his own competitive journey, the watch parties for his esports org teammates, the brand partnerships, or his first ever charity fundraiser, I’m confident and proud to say that whether he wins or not, Clix is as deserving of The Esports Content Creator of the Year award as anyone in the world. Good vibes in those digital Esports Awards voting/poll booths! ???

Key Findings - Major League Baseball (MLB) Marketing Athlete Partnerships Overview 2024 (SponsorUnited). 1. At 39 years old, Justin Turner has established himself not only as a veteran MLB player and World Series champion but also as the league’s most endorsed player in 2024. Turner's endorsement portfolio has seen remarkable growth, highlighting his increasing brand appeal. A major factor in his rise is his robust social media presence—he ranks among the top 10 most engaging MLB players and leads the league in total posts, consistently keeping brands visible to his audience. 2. Harrison Bader's high engagement on social media, making him the #4 most engaged athlete in MLB, can be attributed to a few key factors such as his energetic and fun-loving personality, his frequent interaction with his fanbase, his consistent fashion-forward content, and much more.
