EXCEL ESPORTS unveils partnership with iconic lollipop brand Chupa Chups


The exciting partnership sees Chupa Chups become the Official Candy Partner for EXCEL ESPORTS’ League of Legends teams and will see the partners work together on an exclusive, fun content series
British competitive gaming culture brand EXCEL ESPORTS has today announced a partnership Chupa Chups, a Spanish confectionery brand which is owned by major confectionery manufacturer Perfetti van Melle. The partnership will see Chupa Chups become the Official Candy Partner for EXCEL’s full League of Legends roster which competes across both the League of Legends European Championship and the Northern League of Legends Championship. The partnership will help align EXCEL’s new Power of Better identity with Chupa Chups’ Forever Fun belief, that encourages everyone to keep their childish spark alive throughout their life.
As part of the partnership, EXCEL and Chupa Chups will work closely together on a fun content series called Sweet or Yeet, which will involve EXCEL’s League of Legends players being asked quickfire questions and either being rewarded with a sweet treat for answering correctly, or being asked to eat something gross if they get the answer wrong. Both parties will also collaborate on social media posts together, including celebrations and League of Legend happy birthday assets. The Chupa Chups logo will also be featured on both the LEC and BTXL players jerseys which are due to be released in the coming weeks.
“We are very excited to partner with such a globally recognised brand in Chupa Chups, a business we naturally align well with given the fun and youthful nature of both our organisations, industries and audiences. It’s always fantastic to work with non-endemic brands that appreciate the culture of our industry and we’ll work with Chupa Chups to create engaging, fun content that works for both our audiences. At EXCEL ESPORTS we are always striving to be better and we are excited to kick off 2021 with a partnership which helps further build on our vision,” said Robin McCammon, Chief Commercial Officer, EXCEL.
“We are thrilled to have found a partner in EXCEL ESPORTS, an organisation that shares many of the same values and audience, with both youth and fun in our core identities. The partnership was long-awaited given the numerous times our consumers have said that lollipops are the favourite sweet to enjoy while playing. We are excited and looking forward to working closely with EXCEL ESPORTS by making fun and engaging content that our audience will surely love,” said Eva Karkoni, International Brand Manager at Chupa Chups.
EXCEL’s LEC team will officially begin its League of Legends European Championship campaign on Friday, January 22nd, while the BTXL team will kick off it’s Northern League of Legends Championships season on Tuesday, January 19th. Both rosters welcome new coveted talent as EXCEL aspires to have its most successful year to date.
2020 was a landmark season for EXCEL as its LEC team received its best results yet, narrowly missing out on a playoffs spot, while also undergoing a brand update and unveiling footballer Dele Alli as it’s new global ambassador. On Sunday, January 10th, a brand new BBC documentary, Fight for First: EXCEL ESPORTS will be available to stream on BBC IPlayer. Voiced by Golden Globe and BAFTA nominee Cillian Murphy, the five-part series follows the team as they experience the highs and lows of competing in Europe’s biggest esports league.

Boomerang Partners conducted its own research at iGB London 2025: key findings on affiliate trends
Boomerang Partners conducted a large-scale brand awareness survey at iGB London 2025, collecting feedback from industry decision-makers at the largest affiliate marketing and iGaming industry event. In essence, the PR team used real-time measurements of the quantitative and qualitative data in an industrial environment with the view of measuring client and customer experience. Additionally, the raw data also allowed the Boomerang team to identify strong trends that other market players may want to consider when creating a roadmap for achieving long-term objectives.
Demographic distribution of the Representative Sample
The Boomerang Partners survey involved 188 respondents from the iGaming and affiliate industries, with an average of 6 years of experience in their respective fields. The largest percentage of them are decision-makers:
- C-level & department heads – 16%
- Sales – 16%
- Affiliate managers – 14%
- Other managerial roles – 14%
- Founders & Owners – 11%
- CEO – 11%
The demographics of the respondents are also interesting. 49.4% of them are from the European Union, 26.7% represent the United Kingdom, and 13.6% from Asia. The share of representatives from other regions was just over 11%.
Brand visibility
The Boomerang Partners’ survey participants provided objective opinions and assessments of affiliate programs, marketing tools, and communications, which allowed the agency to form a cross-section of industry representatives’ expectations. Thus, 29% of them indicated that they learn about new partnership programs and brands at industry events (iGB was mentioned over 120 times, while SiGMA was mentioned more than 45 times). Other ways of obtaining such data include direct research (19%), social media (15%), and networking or word of mouth (15%). Interestingly, none of the sources show a significant advantage in reading industry news and analytics. This highlights the importance of diverse content distribution for increasing brand visibility.
Content types
The Boomerang Partners survey also touched on the types of content respondents found most interesting. Podcasts ranked first in popularity, with 66 respondents mentioning them. Networking, on the other hand, was the most rarely mentioned source of content, noted by only 6 survey participants.
Impact on the market
Boomerang Partners is rightly considered one of the leading brands in the affiliate marketing industry thanks to its commitment to continuous development. The agency creates marketing that responds to industry requests through various formats, creatives, and metrics. With the help of an effective symbiosis of marketing and analytics, Boomerang is not only a landmark player in the market but also shapes its trends with an emphasis on numbers. Stay tuned.
