Nissan Partners with esports Teams FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming | Supreme Nissan

Supreme Nissan in Slidell, LA, close to Covington, LA and Picayune, MS, is thrilled that Nissan has partnered with esports teams FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming. Video games have taken the world by storm and then some, so it’s no surprise that in the age of the internet online streaming and competitive gaming have blown up as well. In order to bring our brand to a massive new audience, it only makes sense that Nissan is partnering with two exciting esports teams, FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming.

FaZe Clan calls Hollywood its home, while OpTic Gaming hails from Texas. Both compete on the international level in popular video games like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Fortnite, to name just a few. These two competitive teams already have a number of impressive sponsorships, but Nissan is the first automotive manufacturer to work with either of them. These partnerships are massively beneficial to everyone involved. esports gaming competitions are featured on many streaming services, including YouTube and Twitch, and Newzoo’s 2019 Global esports Market Report predicts that viewership will increase to a global 453.8 million people. Audience numbers around the world already total more than those of HBO, Netflix, and ESPN combined, and are quickly hitting impressive new heights.

This means that Nissan’s brand reach will extend to new audiences all around the world. Everything kicks off soon through a campaign featuring both the FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming teams, as well as popular Nissan models, including the Nissan LEAF, Nissan Armada, Nissan Altima, and Nissan Kicks. Robert Cross, Director of Media and Activation for Nissan North America, Inc., argues that both groups will bring a distinct audience to the Nissan brand by helping it access “the cultural phenomenon that is esports worldwide.”

Supreme Nissan is very excited about this new partnership. If you’d like to learn more about any of the vehicles involved, stop by the dealership, located at 400 East Howze Beach Road, Slidell, LA 70461, to meet with our staff and take a test drive.
