Displate partners up with Echo Esports, the number one World of Warcraft guild in the world

26 January 2022

Displate – the leading Polish marketplace for unique metal posters sold to collectors in 64 countries – joins the esports field as a partner of Echo Esports, the number one World of Warcraft guild in the world. As part of the collaboration, Displate will support Echo during the upcoming Race to World First, a WoW gaming event watched live by millions of viewers. The brand’s creations will feature within the players’ streams, and the team will open its brandshop on the Displate platform.

Echo Esports is a one-of-a-kind team, founded in 2020 by the most successful World of Warcraft players of all time. They dominated the WoW scene very quickly, winning multiple Race to World first races and official Blizzard tournaments like Mythic Dungeon Invitational. And now Displate is joining the ranks of their strategic partners.

As part of the cooperation, Displate will feature as the guild’s partner in streams and other productions of Echo players until November 2022. We’re also going to prepare and launch a reach campaign with the Echo team, and during the Race to World First we’ll be putting to use a unique technology that will enable some extra activity on Twitch. In addition, the Displate platform will feature official Echo merchandise in the form of posters designed in cooperation with fans and players, inspired by the immersive universe of WoW and the ongoing games.

We are incredibly proud to welcome Displate in the esports world. Their support for our team and their interest in what we do have been incredible. They share our vision and support us in creating the best future for Echo and our community. We are looking forward to working together on numerous events,”

“We are very excited to partner up with Echo, the number one World of Warcraft guild in the world. We obviously hope this is only the beginning of a fruitful strategic partnership and the first step for Displate.com into the realm of esports. We are looking forward to supporting Echo in their adventures in Race to World First and Mythic Dungeon Invitationals. This partnership also represents our commitment to engage a generation of digital-savvy people who participate in gaming,” emphasizes Bartek Maćkowiak, Influencer Marketing Manager at Displate.

“For Displate, this means huge potential. In 2021, we reached the mark of 5 million posters sold, and in the last 2 years, we have quintupled our revenue. Over the years gaming has been one of the most popular categories on the platform and it was only a matter of time before we entered the world of electronic sports. This puts us in competition with other non-endemic brands that are vying for the attention of young consumers in that field,” adds Edyta Kowal, Brand & Marketing Communication Director at Displate.

Started in 2019, Race to World First has grown to become a massive event and is now followed by a community of millions, hungry for the strategic insights and tactics that professional gamers employ in the race to become champions. Being at the center of the action and able to peek behind the scenes is one of the main reasons why esports has such a large fan base on Twitch. And it’s often many times bigger than the Super Bowl or Champions League finals.
