North American esports organization FaZe Clan has recently renewed its longstanding partnership with McDonald’s USA. The deal will result in new events, initiatives, and will “double down” on previous campaigns, showcasing original content and IP from the FaZe Clan members. FaZe and McDonald’s ‘Spotlight’ series and ‘Friendsgaming’ campaign is also returning with the renewal, along with the introduction of a FaZe Clan and McDonald’s booth at PAX West.
The partnership aims to connect American youth with opportunities in esports and gaming, elevating voices from underrepresented groups and allowing them to prosper in the industry.
“Collaborating with a gaming platform of FaZe Clan’s influence and credibility provides a unique opportunity for us to collaborate on original programmes that honour the diverse interests of our fans. We’re excited to continue our partnership with FaZe Clan this year as we deepen the engagement between McDonald’s brand and gaming fans,” said Veronica Thompson, Director of Cultural Engagement and Activations at McDonald’s.
