AcuityAds’ market leading AI capabilities and audience segmentation techniques coupled with OAM’s industry expertise, will deliver an unparalleled solution that addresses a major market gap. Currently a $1 billion industry, esports is one of the fastest growing entertainment segments globally and is projected to grow another 60 percent to $1.6 billion in the next three years alone. Furthermore, viewership is seeing phenomenal growth with an audience totaling nearly 500 million by the end of 2020, and total viewership expected to reach one billion by 2022.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has further accelerated the trend towards esports viewership worldwide, including in North America. While there are a number of factors that are responsible for this acceleration, the most important is the shift of traditional sports towards digital as attending live sporting events have been put on hold. The AcuityAds and OAM partnership was precipitated by a strong need for esports companies to offer comprehensive digital advertising solutions to advertising partners.
