Esports parent company ReKTGlobal and influencer development company TalentX Entertainment have officially announced that they are teaming up for the creation of a talent management company that is called TalentX Gaming.
“TalentX Gaming is the formation of a unique and dynamic talent management company, combining ReKTGlobal’s esports industry leading position and TalentX’s meteoric and unprecedented success with TikTok content creators” Dave Bialek, CEO and Co-founder of ReKTGlobal said in an official statement.
“This partnership now affords gaming and esports influencers and athletes with unparalleled support, insights, and execution. TXG further cements ReKTGlobal as the most diversified and unequivocal leader in esports marketing.”
Jason Wilhelm, formerly of SoaR Esports and the Sacramento Kings’ Kings Guard Gaming, will serve as the CEO of TalentX Gaming, and both ReKTGlobal and TalentX Gaming will act as “sister companies”, with collaborations and efforts intended to create opportunities.
“The esports and talent industries are exploding, yet influencers are very underserved in the gaming world” Wilheim said.
“Like TalentX Entertainment, TalentX Gaming puts the creator first. It’s not just a motto; we will be in the trenches fighting battles with our creators and taking them places in their careers they never thought were possible. Every esports athlete, content creator and streamer — whether they have tens of millions of followers or are working on building their presence — will want to be part of TGX. We are going to take over. We will be the best in the business.”
