GHOST WILL AWARD BRAND SPONSORSHIP DEAL TO WINNER OF THE FAZE1 GLOBAL RECRUITMENT CHALLENGE
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 5, 2022) – Today, FaZe Clan, Inc. (“FaZe Clan”), the lifestyle and media platform rooted in gaming and youth culture, announces a monumental, multi-year partnership with GHOST, a lifestyle brand that spans across sports nutrition products, energy drinks, dietary supplements, merch and apparel.
To introduce the partnership, FaZe Clan will be sharing a high-energy video featuring some of FaZe’s biggest stars. The video will highlight FaZe Clan and GHOST's joint far-reaching vision that transcends gaming as both brands celebrate their roots in fitness, music and sports. With a full lineup of both powdered and ready-to-drink products, GHOST delivers efficacy and authenticity in all categories, including protein, pre-workout, gaming, energy and wellness.
As disruptors in their respective categories, a partnership between FaZe Clan and GHOST represents the evolution of gaming. While FaZe Clan has reimagined traditional entertainment for the next generation, GHOST is providing products that support an active lifestyle, including transparent product labels and authentic flavor collaborations. Together, they are dedicated to creating a legendary community-driven space where culture thrives.
GHOST will be featured as an official sponsor of FaZe1: The Warehouse, the first-of-its-kind live reality competition series that will stream 24 hours a day for 15 consecutive days starting today at 2pm PST on twitch.tv/faze. FaZe1: The Warehouse is the final and only in-person stage of the FaZe1 global recruitment challenge that has been underway since January. Thousands of creator submissions have been narrowed down to the top 20 finalists who will compete in the new FaZe Warehouse in the heart of Hollywood, all vying to become the ultimate recruit. The winner of FaZe1 will be given a brand deal from GHOST, the opportunity to become an official member of FaZe Clan with a signing bonus of $1 million in cryptocurrency from MoonPay, as well as a Nissan GT-R.
To celebrate the GHOST x FaZe partnership, the brands have come together for a special giveaway. GHOST is hooking up fans in the U.S. that download the GHOST® app today (Thursday, May 5th) with their choice of either GHOST ENERGY or GHOST GAMER for free, while supplies last.

This was a perfect fit from day one as we share a common goal of creating a new standard for what a best-in-class partnership is through dynamic storytelling, authenticity and innovation. We can't wait to get started."
“FaZe Clan has been at the epicenter of the gaming world since its inception. As long time fans of FaZe, we are beyond excited and honored to partner with the whole organization,” says Daniel Lourenco, Co-Founder and CEO of GHOST. “GHOST has shown the world that sports nutrition interest and usage extends far beyond the gym, and FaZe has absolutely done the same for gaming.
