Daniel Lourenco, head of lifestyle brand Ghost, will play an important part in the speaker lineup as one who knows firsthand what gamers want and how to market to them. He believes authenticity is the key to success in this market, including forming real relationships and partnerships with key influencers, organizations and events.
Ghost is a brand of supplements and apparel for fitness enthusiasts and gamers. Along with co-founder Ryan Hughes, Dan conceived the Ghost brand around the principle of transparency—hence the name. The company provides full disclosure of its formulas and is laser-focused on enhancing the performance of its customers.
Dr. Kreider, who runs the Exercise & Sport Nutrition Lab at Texas A&M University, will also participate in the Dec. 9 "How Supplement Brands Can Win at Esports" event to offer a holistic view of studies in gamers. He will walk attendees through some of the specific study protocols that have been used with these types of subjects, as well as the benefits that resonate the most. He believes esports athletes are not that different from professional athletes in that most strive to be in top physical and mental shape.
Sara Perez Ojalvo, Nutrition21's Director of R&D, will discuss the science behind Nutrition21's gamer product, nooLVL®. Most recently, nooLVL was the subject of a clinical study published in Nutrients, which compared it to placebo following acute ingestion by gamers. Researchers evaluated subjects before and after prolonged video game playing. The double-blind placebo-controlled study showed that nooLVL is both fast and effective—working within 15 minutes and increasing energy†, focus and accuracy.
