VANCOUVER, BC, April 21, 2021 /CNW/ - TGS Esports Inc. ("TGS" or
the "Company") (TSXV: TGS) (OTC: TGSEF) (FRA: 5RH) is pleased to
announce an exciting new collegiate esports events program
partnership with Return-It to help drive recovery rates for
beverage containers in BC. The partnership kicks off on Earth Day
(April 22th, 2021) and is a first of
its kind marketing partnership that will highlight the importance
of sustainability to gamers across British Columbia.
This campaign is targeted to 18 to 34 year-olds. Many
of the empty beverage containers not recycled in BC each year are
within this demographic – the most of any age group.
TGS and Return-It are using an integrated awareness campaign to
empower and challenge gamers to improve their recycling habits
through video content, messaging in TGS esports events, as well as
a Collegiate esports program run by TGS owned Volcanic Media. The
partnership will also focus on story-telling around Earth Day and
will include several fun and engaging activations.
The partnership will feature TGS's new prediction game
