Together A.S. Roma and Maker Studios will:

• Develop and create original content featuring talent from Maker’s vast network

• Expand distribution of AS Roma content across digital platforms
• Extend AS Roma’s commercial reach creating unique branded entertainment initiatives and streamlined media sales

Since kicking off the season in August, Maker Studios and AS Roma have already collaborated on content for the brand’s YouTube channel featuring talent ilvostrocaroDexter and iNoobChannel from the Illuminati Crew. The videos have garnered over a million views to date.

“Our relationship with Maker aligns perfectly with our vision to deliver great content to our fans wherever they choose to watch video across the world,” said Jim Pallotta, president of AS Roma. “We’re very excited to leverage both Maker’s scale and the creativity of talent in the network to expand our digital footprint.”
