ESPN Esports Omen by HP

In 2018, Paolo collaborated with Ryan Garfat (ESPN Esports Editor) to pitch the ESPN Esports Omen by HP project. The concept brought in over $500K in revenue and became the first Esports studio sponsorship for ESPN.

At the time, ESPN Esports didn’t have a video department. Paolo had to step in as a producer/editor for the first months of the sponsorship while the company hired a full-time video staff. With limited resources, Paolo crafted high-quality branded content that would grow ESPN’s esports offering and provide value to our brand partner

The project became a success, with Omen by HP renewing their sponsorship several times; allowing ESPN to allocate more resources to create an esports video team.
