Shots Studios, the massive digital talent management house and production studio, is making its first moves in the gaming space.
Shots has signed a partnership with Nrg Esports -- a competitive gaming and lifestyle content organization. Nrg says that collectively, its players made it the most-watched gaming org on Twitch worldwide last month, including Fortnite pros Clix, Ronaldo, and Benjyfishy. While Shots won't provide talent management services to Nrg's roster, it will help with content production and merch services.
Nrg was co-founded in 2015 by former Apple exec and technology entrepreneur Andy Miller (who serves as CEO) and 24-Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov -- and counts luminary investors like Shaquille O’Neal, Tiesto, Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez, and Marshawn Lynch. Nrg is home to several professional teams who compete in Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and more.
