Digital sports media company Playmaker Capital has entered into a strategic partnership with Echobox to enhance its social media capabilities and engagement. Echobox, a provider of social media automation solutions, will offer insights and support to Playmaker Capital, enabling it to expand its reach and enhance its cross-platform social media offering. As part of the partnership, Playmaker Capital’s subsidiary, Futbol Sites, will leverage Echobox’s technology across its Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. The collaboration comes at an opportune time, with the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 poised to drive audience growth and social interactions.
Enhancing Social Media Capabilities:
By partnering with Echobox, Playmaker Capital aims to leverage social media as a powerful tool to engage sports fans across the Americas. Echobox’s social media automation solution will provide Playmaker with valuable insights and enable the company to scale and enhance its social media presence. As Playmaker seeks to expand its fan-focused brands and increase audience growth, the collaboration with Echobox will play a vital role in optimizing its social media strategies and driving increased user engagement.
Antoine Amann, CEO of Echobox, expressed excitement about partnering with Playmaker, emphasizing the unique artificial intelligence (AI) innovations that Echobox brings to the table. The integration of Echobox’s market-leading automation technology will not only enhance Playmaker’s social media reach but also streamline the company’s operations, providing greater efficiencies for the Playmaker team.
Expanding Presence in Social Media and Digital Channels:
Playmaker Capital has been actively expanding its presence in the social media and digital video channels. The recent acquisition of JuanFutbol has strengthened Playmaker’s position in the Mexican and US Hispanic markets, enabling the company to tap into a broader audience base and capitalize on the growing demand for sports-related content in these regions. The partnership with Echobox further solidifies Playmaker’s commitment to enhancing its social media offerings and delivering engaging content to sports fans.

With her previous role as senior vice president of public affairs at the American Gaming Association, Slane played a pivotal role in advocating for the reversal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). Mark Harrison’s appointment adds valuable expertise in digital media and technology, further strengthening Playmaker’s leadership team.
