SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Constantin Medien AG has showcased its extensive betting, poker, casino and lottery expertise by launching Magic Sports Media GmbH.
Magic Sports Media, which has been created for companies in the gaming and gambling sector, in addition to media companies, sports associations, leagues and clubs, provides a service that includes ad sales and consulting, as well as advice on regulation and policy.
Magic Sports Media clients can rely on Constantin Medien’s Group expertise in advertising, from content production to industry specific solutions, right through to accessing international markets.
These clients can also profit from advice for market entry and business models, while Magic Sports Media will also offer support for all issues around lobbying and regulation, along with the opportunity to network with opinion leaders and legislative representatives.
Constantin Medien AG has transferred its existing gaming and gambling clients to the new company, which was previously handled by the entertainment division of Sport1 Media GmbH.
The business will be headed by Dr Andreas Blaue, while Stephan Katzmann will assume the role of Commercial Managing Director. Both take over the management in addition to their existing functions within the Constantin Medien Group.
Dr Matthias Kirschenhofer, Constantin Medien’s Chief Officer of Legal and Finance, said: “Constantin Medien’s sports companies have worked closely with clients from the gaming and gambling industry for over 15 years. This experience now makes us one of the leading players and experts in the German market and has given us a broad and international network.
“Because of the complicated regulatory situation, and the way the market is increasingly opening up in this sector, there is a great demand for relevant expertise and services, which we want to offer via Magic Sports Media to all those interested. We are expecting this move to boost our business in the Segment Sports and provide true added value for our partners.”
