Fnatic Announces Multi-Year Partnership with Jack Link’s To Power Gamers Through Their Grind

LONDON, January 19, 2021 - Leading esports organisation Fnatic, today announced a multi-year partnership with Jack Link's, a global leader in branded protein snacking and the world's largest meat snacks manufacturer.

After a successful activation in 2019, Fnatic and Jack Link’s EMEA have teamed up again to enable gamers across Europe to power through their grind without compromising taste or nutrition. By having access to Fnatic’s massive network of fans and players, this partnership will allow Jack Link’s to expand its reach across EMEA and establish the brand as the primary protein snack for gamers.

Fnatic and Jack Link’s will work together to give gamers, whether beginners or competing on the world stage, the tools they need to achieve their personal goals. From providing plenty of the high protein Jack Link’s products, through to the development of content, in-game activations, online and physical tools as well as story-telling from the pros, every aspect of this partnership will be centred around enabling gamers to power through their grind.

Selecting Jack Link’s as Fnatic’s first global snack partner represents the company’s continued commitment to maximising and enhancing esports performance, while prioritising the health and wellbeing of its players. The Jack Link's logo will be featured across the right sleeve of all Fnatic team jerseys immediately, and across the right sleeve of the retail jersey from May.

“In fast-paced online competition, gamers need a consumable respite that gives them the energy to get through their grind,” said Neil Walker, Partnerships Manager at Fnatic. “At Fnatic, we have a performance-first philosophy to ensure gamers are always playing at their best. All of Jack Link's snacks are made with 100% beef, are high in protein and have less than 80 kcal per serving.”

Gamers have a reputation for snacking on sugary, greasy food that lacked nutrition which often results in an adverse impact on their performance. This collaboration unlocks gamers’ full potential by providing them with the quality, protein-rich fuel needed to power through intense gaming sessions, and play to their maximum potential.

"When it comes to nutrition, we are actively encouraging our players to eat in a way that will improve their performance in competitive games,” said Jens Hofer, Performance Director at Fnatic. “Providing them with snacks is extremely important, especially considering how long and intense gaming can be. A high protein, no-nonsense type of snack like Jack Link's is the best option for us.”

Jan Pieter Schretlen, Managing Director Jack Link’s EMEA, said that snacking while gaming is an exciting area for the brand. “Our products are the perfect snack, no matter if at home or on the go, at work or during leisure time activities such as gaming. Beef Jerky is a natural source of protein, giving lasting energy and hence supports endurance.” He continued in saying, “we want to be a true partner, supporting gamers on all levels and building relationships both in competitive as well as amateur gaming.”
