BERLIN, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rogue and Kia have unveiled a three-part video series featuring players from the Rogue League of Legends team in the League of Legends European Championship. The series is part of a unique content collaboration between the two companies that began in 2020 with a highly successful campaign featuring international music superstars Steve Aoki, Nicky Romero, and Imagine Dragons. The deal, which includes team transportation, branded events, and content collaboration, has revolutionized the way esports teams work with brand partners.
Pleased with the previous year's collaboration, Kia worked with Rogue to create a series of visually-stunning videos that spotlight the individual stories of Odoamne, Inspired, and Hans sama, exploring what inspires them in their personal lives to push harder in the esports arena. The videos also allow fans to learn more about Rogue's unique player personalities through inspired and authentic storytelling. From competitive swimming and creating artwork to being unafraid to dream big, the campaign brings viewers inside the minds of true champions.
The digital campaign supports Kia's "Movement that inspires" brand narrative and focus on futuristic style and technologically-advanced vehicles. As the number one LEC team in Europe, the collaboration is a natural one for Rogue, which is owned by media entertainment company ReKTGlobal. The high-performance team seeks to provide the best entertainment to their fans across the esports spectrum as well as serve as role models telling personal stories about what drives them to be better competitors.
"Our collaboration with KIA continues to allow us creating fresh and never-before-seen content which we hope will inspire any esports enthusiast," said Anna Baumann, EVP of Esports at ReKTGlobal.
