“I am thrilled to be joining the GameSquare Board of Directors,” Gorman said.
“I have been following the progress of GameSquare under the leadership of Justin, and I have been impressed with the scale that the company has achieved in a short period of time. The company has a unique platform that is resonating with brands, and I look forward to sharing my insights and experience with management and the board. Gaming and esports is an incredibly exciting space that is transforming the way that brands connect with fans.”
GameSquare, which has its headquarters in Toronto, Canada, has over the years grown into an esports holding conglomerate. The company owns quite a number of franchises, including esports and gaming media brand GCN, talent agency Code Red Esports, and Complexity Gaming. The company also owns a United States-based marketing agency, Swingman LLC.
GameSquare has been recording an increase in activity this year thus far. The organization commenced a content creation company, Fourth Frame Studios, in February.
In September, the company announced the founding of a merchandising and consumer products company named Mission Supply. September also saw the company add eight new recruits to its employee base, including the recruitment of former workers at Twitch, Rodale, VICE, and 100 Theives.
