Last month Fangage announced a partnership with Esports organization Tempo Storm to use Fangage’s digital autograph platform to interact with fans. The two organizations publicly initiated the partnership through a live Twitch autographing session with Tempo Storm “speedrunner”, Mychal “Trihex” Jerfferson on Jul. 12.
Fangage allows fans to upload any photo they want into a secure server and then have a pro athlete on the platform digitally autograph the image.
“We have found that a lot of fans are uploading photos of a favorite player, a screen shot from the game, a Twitch highlight, if they manage to meet the player and snap a selfie, or any kind of personal picture of family or friends,” said Jackson Moreland, head of Fangage’s strategic partnership division.
