Bochum (DE),  Langenthal (CH)

Founded in 2015, STARK Esports celebrates its fifth anniversary in August 2020. The success story of the agency, which now operates in almost 20 countries, began with the focus on the sport simulation FIFA in the start-up phase. Historical milestones characterise the work of the past years. For example VfL Wolfsburg, who was the first football club in Germany to be accompanied into esports and has always been a client of STARK since then. A groundbreaking step that was clearly ahead of its time and showed the full potential of esports at an early stage. Many other successful projects have increasingly shaped the contours of STARK, also externally recognised and awarded such as 3rd place as “Supporting Esports Agency of the year” at the Esports Awards 2018.

The last two years, in particular, have been characterised by a strategic shift towards a 360-degree service agency for esports, which places greater emphasis on cooperation with global brands and rights holders and has long since ceased to be limited to the FIFA title. STARK Esports can now name several global players from the brand universe such as Audi, Zurich Insurance, Vodafone and Funny-Frisch, as well as rights holders such as the DFB and esports organisations such as FOKUS CLAN or the Swiss Esports League as its partners. The different customer demands are satisfied by an effective and complete interaction of the four established business units. Since 2019, STARK Esports has been supporting its partners with around 40 specialists in the fields of “Strategy & Consulting”, “Innovation & Technology”, “Production & Events” and “Creative Solutions”.

To celebrate the change and the upcoming fifth birthday, STARK is giving itself a fresh coat of paint. The clean style and modern colors of the new corporate identity underline the high degree of digitality and customer orientation of the agency. In particular, the new homepage as a digital business card – www.starkesports.com – emphasizes STARK’s expertise and competence even more than before.

Martin Wyss, Managing Director of STARK Esports GmbH:
“We have worked on the new corporate design for STARK Esports for a very long time and with great attention to detail. With the international expansion, the professionalisation of the company, and especially the adapted focus on what and whom we work for, it was only logical that we should also give ourselves a new, appropriate outfit. I am of the opinion that the result is impressive and will certainly ensure that we are perceived even more strongly than before as a serious player in the international esports market.
