Loaded: Who We Are
Whether you watch Ninja, Shroud, AnneMunition, DrLupo, Lirik, or one of the many other gaming superstars we represent, Loaded was built from the beginning to better the businesses and brands of influencers and esports stakeholders in the video game industry. Today, Loaded is the home to the biggest names in gaming.
In the past year and a half we've grown rapidly and have brought in unique endorsements, developed expansive creative campaigns, and forged industry-first partnerships with folks like Postmates, Samsung, Red Bull, Mark Cuban, HBO, Facebook, Twitch, and more braggable names than we can list here.
But we need more great people in order to keep up.
We're a no bullshit, fast-moving, creative team who seek people who are, first and foremost, in it for the betterment of the video game industry at large. We're authentically human, relentless, award-winning, and in this business to fight on behalf of those who've put their trust in us, no matter the arena.
If that sounds like you, let's do this.
