In May, Blazey Pacak, MD of myFanPark Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH), together with leading German communications agency, brands and emotions GmbH, launched the platform in Europe.
In the coming months, myFanPark will be expanding into India, thanks to a major deal struck with one of the country’s most prominent players in the local entertainment and music industry, Shailendra Singh.
Next, myFanPark is preparing to extend its African footprint to West Africa. Already, 25 Nigerian stars such as Afrobeat artiste, Skales; multitalented rapper and actor, Ice Prince; musician, DJ Consequence; popular VJ, Do2tun; funny man, Mr Patrick; and esteemed actor, Kunle Remi, have already joined the platform to uplift and motivate others through messages of love, hope and inspiration.
myFanPark plans to launch in five more markets over the next six months. “It is a privilege to be able to provide more and more people with a platform to connect with those they most admire in an authentic way,” says Joy Des Fountain, Co-founder and CEO of myFanPark.
