Leveraging its award-winning, patented technology, Green Man Gaming also works with leading global technology brands such as Intel and premium hardware reseller partners to support marketing initiatives in the PC gaming market. The Green Man Gaming digital storefront is currently available on millions of Lenovo* laptops worldwide through the Lenovo Entertainment Hub.

“It is essential that we enhance the experience of our gamers on a direct community relationship level, but also from a business-to-business perspective,” said Green Man Gaming Founder & CEO Paul Sulyok. “Our Intel relationship has grown very strongly from experimental efforts where Intel helped promote developers in the marketplace to where we now work together to ease the friction, looking at Business-to-Business (B2B) relationships with hardware manufacturers and resellers. The relationship is built on a common vision on where we’d like to go with our customers.”

Paul explains, “We began talking to Intel in 2013. Initially, it started as a marketing relationship to promote products to high-end enthusiasts who come to Green Man Gaming to get premium titles. Later, we started doing co-promotions with Intel partners, and then we began working with them on B2B initiatives that help game developers reach more gamers through PC promotional campaigns.”

When asked how he would sum up the nature of the relationship between Intel and Green Man Gaming, Paul said, “We’ve had a great experience working with Intel. We share a common desire to help gamers improve their gaming experience and to support developers to attract new audiences to their games. As with all great relationships, it’s built on trust, it’s built on experience, and it’s built on the people who are working together.”
