Our take
Swipe Right delivers brand communication services for businesses in the gaming and esports sectors, helping clients build a consistent brand identity and reach their target audience.
Through a network of media, influencers, and partners, the company aims to tell what it calls "authentic stories", that highlight great games and bring esports more into the mainstream. By focusing its efforts entirely on the game industry, it is able to operate with a deeper understanding of what gaming communities want, which gives it an edge against other agencies.
Having managed communications for some of the biggest tournaments, platforms, and games in the world, Swipe Right has clearly proven its value to industry players. If it continues on its trajectory, there is no reason why it cannot become a leading force in game and esports marketing.
