Adam Rymer’s Envy hiring highlights changes in media, esports

Cords? Cut. Print? Paltry. Box office? Busted.

We live in a world where modern media is constantly changing. Partially a circumstance of the pandemic and partially digital trends a long time coming, how people consume and create content is changing. As traditional sports left television in the spring, Twitch’s hours watched doubled. In esports, many organisations are focusing more on building a media brand than purely competitive success. As esports organisations look for paths to profitability, creating content is becoming an increased priority.

No hiring in the last few months highlights that trend better than Envy Gaming’s new CEO.
