Driving Growth Through Mobile-First eSports Experiences
As eSports continues its meteoric rise, particularly among Gen Z and millennial audiences, the demand for accessible, mobile-first content is stronger than ever. The integration of eCLUTCH into Sam Media’s platform allows telecom operators to offer compelling, subscription-based gaming content that enhances user engagement and drives long-term customer value.
“Partnering with Sam Media is a key milestone in eClutch’s global expansion, enabling us to deliver premium eSports content seamlessly through mobile operators at scale.

Said Arnaud Verlhac, CEO of eCLUTCH
“The partnership with eCLUTCH enables Sam Media to bring eSports content to mobile operators worldwide. eSports is extremely popular among young people, a strategically important user group for the mobile operators. Offering eCLUTCH to their customers drives monetization of the younger user base and also increases their connection with the mobile operator brand. This stronger loyalty will help reduce churn. The demand for eSports content will allow Sam Media to drive acquisition of paying customers for the eCLUTCH service. The combination of in house marketing and carrier billing as a widely adopted and seamless payment method, will support the uptake of the service and new revenue streams for the mobile operators, eCLUTCH and Sam Media.”
