Background of this Sponsorship Agreement
EMBERZ, under the mission of "creating a world where people can make a living from card games," is committed to enhancing the value of trading card games through challenges in competitive scenes and information dissemination. By having players seriously engage in competition and conveying its appeal and strategic thinking to society, EMBERZ aims to create a world where TCGs become more widespread as a culture.
Meanwhile, RECORE Co., Ltd., under the vision of "optimal commerce experience from a good cycle," is working to realize a sustainable market by building a system that correctly circulates the value of goods through its reuse business.
Trading cards are also a domain where a market is formed as value is passed from person to person, and the philosophies of both parties strongly resonate in terms of "value circulation."
Furthermore, based on the trust built through centerwave's regular use of RECORE's services, a shared desire to contribute to the overall development of the TCG industry led to the conclusion of this sponsorship agreement.
Through this initiative, we will promote further revitalization of the competitive scene and create an environment where the value of trading cards reaches more people.
Main Future Initiatives
We will promote brand awareness expansion through the following activities:
・Placement of corporate logos on player uniforms, official website, and social media.
・Promotional activities through collaborative products with players and guest visits.
・Appeal of external sponsorship by acquiring the right to use the EMBERZ logo.
We will also strive to expand brand awareness and contribute to the overall development of the industry through various other initiatives.
Comment from Taishi Okazaki, Executive Officer and Head of Reuse Business, RECORE Co., Ltd.
We are deeply honored to partner with EMBERZ as an official sponsor.
When Mr. Saito first approached us, his quiet yet earnest passion to "further invigorate the TCG industry" was palpable, and I felt a strong desire to support them.
centerwave has been a regular user of RECORE, and we are delighted to be involved in the development of the TCG industry in this way through that connection.
Our company's vision is "optimal commerce experience from a good cycle," and we aim for a world where the value of goods is correctly delivered and smoothly circulated. EMBERZ's activities, which spread the appeal of what people love and connect it to the next generation and players, perfectly align with this vision. We will jointly support the further excitement of the competitive scene and the development of TCG culture.
