Collegiate Esports Tournaments

Coca-Cola and McDonald’s Extend their Partnership with Brag House

— November 2, 2023 — Tech
Coca-Cola and McDonald's have reaffirmed their partnerships with the collegiate esports and gaming platform, Brag House. This renewed collaboration has given rise to the Golden Royale Cup, a Fortnite tournament designed to cater to students across four regions in the United States. The tournament is set to unfold in various states throughout November 2023.

Following the success of similar Fortnite events in Southern California with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), where Coca-Cola and McDonald's played pivotal roles as lead sponsors, this partnership extension aims to further engage with the Gen Z demographic through casual gaming experiences.

“Brag House has identified an underserved casual gaming audience and filled the void with a platform that encourages community, engagement and above all, fun. For brands, this represents a fantastic opportunity to be visible, authentically engaged and active in the hard to reach Gen Z demographic," said Lavell Juan, CEO and Co-Founder of Brag House.
