PR heavyweight 5WPR is doubling down on one of the hottest but trickiest frontiers in marketing: sports, gaming, and esports. The agency today rolled out its Integrated Sports & Gaming PR Suite, designed to help brands capture attention, spark fan loyalty, and navigate regulatory complexity in equal measure.
The sports and gaming industries are a goldmine for brand visibility, whether it’s a stadium sponsorship, a high-profile tournament broadcast, or an in-game activation that blurs the line between play and promotion. But they’re also heavily regulated arenas, where missteps can mean legal headaches or damaged reputations.
That’s where 5WPR is planting its flag—offering clients the ability to go big on fan engagement while staying safely within compliance guardrails.
The offering blends traditional PR savvy with digital-first strategy, pulling from 5WPR’s playbook in out-of-home (OOH) advertising, programmatic media buying, and paid social campaigns. It also layers in:
Influencer engagement to tap into grassroots communities
Search-optimized content to boost discoverability
Social listening to track fan sentiment in real time
High-impact media placements across sports and gaming outlets
The aim? To connect brands with fans both online and offline, while turning hype into measurable business outcomes.
“Sports and gaming brands today aren’t just selling tickets or downloads, they’re selling experiences, communities, and culture,” said Ronn Torossian, Founder & Chairman of 5WPR. “This suite is built to help clients break through noise, create meaningful fan moments, and see real business results.”
The move comes as sports sponsorships and esports partnerships continue to attract major marketing spend, with brands increasingly leaning on agencies to navigate fragmented platforms, stricter advertising rules, and the blurred boundaries between digital fandom and real-world commerce.
By formalizing its Sports & Gaming PR Suite, 5WPR is signaling its intent to be a go-to partner for leagues, publishers, athlete brands, and sponsors that want scale and credibility without tripping compliance wires.
In sectors where the thrill of the game meets the scrutiny of regulators, 5WPR’s new suite offers brands both reach and reassurance. For an industry defined by fast-moving fans and evolving platforms, that could be a winning combination.
