Astralis Partners with Energy Drink Brand Go Mate

— July 7, 2022 — Lifestyle
Denmark-based esports organization Astralis is partnering with Go Mate, an energy drink brand that uses all-natural ingredients and low caffeine percentages. Founded in 2021, Go Mate aims to provide gamers and consumers with a healthier alternative to traditional sugar-filled energy drinks.

Having committed to working on a variety of Go Mate campaigns and activations, Astralis has officially become the first esports organization to partner with an energy drink brand. The Go Mate name is also backed by investor and famous former football player Sergio Aguero.

Astralis Commercial Director Kasper Sindt commented on the partnership: “Go Mate will not only have exposure on our digital channels and in campaigns as we are also working towards launching an Astralis branded product line later in the year.”
