Guild Strengthens Partnership Sales Team

 

Guild Esports PLC (LSE: GILD; OTCQB: GULDF), a global gaming-focused media
business, is pleased to announce the appointment of Glynn Jones as Director of
Agency Partnerships for Guild Studios, the Company's in-house production and
creative division, with effect from 29 January 2024.

 

Mr Jones is a seasoned media professional with over 13 years of experience
working both agency and client-side across the digital industry. Most
recently, Mr Jones served as Agency Partnerships Lead for the UK at Snap, Inc.
("Snap"), the social media company which developed and operates social media
platform Snapchat. At Snap, he managed commercial partnerships with major
agency holding companies and identified new revenue opportunities by
onboarding new brands as well as scaling existing advertisers. Snapchat is
used by 90% of 13-24-year-olds in the UK, providing him with valuable exposure
to Guild's Gen Z target audience (source: Snap, Inc., 2023).

 

Mr Jones has additional advertising and client management experience from his
previous roles as Social Advertising Director at communications agency Manning
Gottlieb OMD and as Social Media Manager at media network group Starcom, where
he led award-winning digital campaigns for clients including PlayStation, Sony
Music, Starbucks, Samsung International and P&G.

 

Jasmine Skee, CEO of Guild Esports, said: "I'd like to extend a warm welcome
to Glynn as he joins the Guild family. Glynn joins us at a time of great
momentum for Guild Studios, as we look to build on the success of reaching our
$1.1 million revenue milestone last year. His experience in digital marketing
and media sales garnered over his 13-year career across advertising, marketing
and social media will make him a great asset to Guild Studios as we identify
new ways to engage Gen Z authentically."
