Bally’s Corporation Enters into Partnership with Minor League Baseball
Bally’s Corporation announced a multi-year partnership with Minor League Baseball (MiLB) that makes Bally’s the first-ever National Media Rightsholder and Exclusive Fantasy & Gaming Partner of MiLB.
This wide-ranging, multimedia partnership provides Bally’s Corporation with live broadcast and exclusive free-to-play gaming content rights across its digital platforms and strategic partner channels, which, when coupled with Bally’s innovative social and interactive features, will provide MiLB fans with a unique in-stadium and at-home experience. Under the terms of the partnership, Bally’s receives the right to use MiLB’s official marks in marketing as well as in-park signage, broadcast, and digital exposure.
Notably, the partnership extends to Bally Live, Bally’s new, over-the-top, proprietary platform that features ultra-low latency fan engagement tools. With Bally Live, MiLB fans attending games in person and those choosing to join from outside simultaneously can watch the game and use the app’s chat and watch party features. These unique and immersive tools are geared to drive greater interest in the game, both in and out of the ballpark. The Bally Live app is currently available for download on iOS and Android.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bally’s media rights extend further across select partner-owned linear and over-the-air channels. The channels, which include local and regional broadcast stations across the country, give Bally’s Corporation customers limitless coverage of the up-and-coming future stars of Major League Baseball (MLB), covering more than 7000 blackout-free live games in total.
Additionally, fans engaging in Bally Live activities, including free-to-play, trivia, and other predictor games, will be eligible to earn rewards through Bally Bucks – Bally’s rewards points program. Bally Bucks are redeemable for experiential rewards and merchandise through the Bally Live app.
“This exciting partnership presents a remarkable opportunity for Bally’s, MiLB, and the league’s teams to come together and collaborate on delivering an exceptional experience for MiLB’s more than 30 million fans across 120 teams and ballparks. With a rich legacy of innovation, Bally’s is dedicated to leveraging its expertise to elevate engagement and create truly immersive experiences that are sure to captivate and delight MiLB fans,” Soo Kim, Chairman of Bally’s Corporation Board of Directors, said.
“We couldn’t be more pleased to have Bally’s Corporation as an Official Partner of MiLB. Since assuming operations of Minor League Baseball in 2021, we’ve focused on growing the reach and awareness of our impressive young prospects and iconic MiLB teams. Bally’s Corporation will be a critical partner for us in achieving that goal, providing extensive distribution of live MiLB broadcasts and enhancing the fan experience with fun and predictive free-to-play, fantasy, and real-money games that uphold the integrity of the sport,” said Kenny Gersh, Executive Vice President, Media and Business Development for Major League Baseball.

ClickOut Media discusses use of AI to embrace marketing and HR opportunities
The digital age has unlocked a wealth of possibilities for Human Resources (HR), transforming traditional workflows into dynamic, global opportunities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced computer technologies are no longer just enablers, they have become the go-to tools in transforming recruitment and workplace management while adhering to the creative potential of industries like marketing.
For multi-channel marketing firms like ClickOut Media, renowned for crafting stories that connect people and brands, the question is no longer if these tools can be transformative but rather how they can be used efficiently to spark innovation, enhance collaboration, and expand the global reach of their campaigns.
AI in HR
AI has revolutionised the ‘first steps’ in recruitment, from applicant sourcing to CV screening, face-to-face interviews, and beyond. Using AI tools to carry out these processes has created a more streamlined workflow, resulting in diverse and inclusive teams. For creative industries such as digital marketing, this diversity brings invaluable perspectives from various individuals that can enrich campaigns and strategies.
ClickOut Media thrives on team collaboration, and when AI is paired with the company’s ethos of encouraging charismatic and connected teams, the result is not just to foster efficiency but to invite synergy, too. It is the blend of streamlined workflow and human insight that enhances the personalisation that is critical to their storytelling success.
This raises the question: could AI increase workplace efficiency while improving human relationships and marketing campaigns?
Reaching across borders
With a global outlook and a commitment to bespoke solutions, ClickOut Media demonstrates how AI tools can enhance creativity and teamwork beyond borders. Video platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams have redefined collaboration, allowing firms to transcend geographical barriers and build partnerships across time zones.
In addition to facilitating seamless communication, AI-powered notetakers and transcription tools add another layer of efficiency to remote teamwork. By streamlining workflows and reducing manual tasks, AI not only enhances collaboration but also drives productivity across global teams.
By championing the power of AI and digital tools, ClickOut Media’s commitment has enabled the company to build and sustain a robust, fully remote workforce featuring account managers, technical leads, and marketing leads.
As a digital marketing agency that is deeply rooted in data and technology, the company has consistently excelled in its field. With years of experience and unwavering aid provided at every step—regardless of whether employees are working in an office environment—this level of support would not be possible without the use of AI.
Moreover, ClickOut Media doesn’t stop using technology to optimise workflow, it leverages these tools to embrace multicultural perspectives, ensuring campaigns resonate with diverse audiences. By integrating AI into HR practices, the company is expanding its reach while redefining global engagement and creativity standards.
Finding the perfect balance
The real challenge of AI lies not in its adoption but in its integration, navigating a way for companies to harness digitalisation tools without losing the human essence that drives personal connections and evokes out-of-the-box media strategies.
At ClickOut Media, the answer lies in finding the perfect balance. By using AI for menial tasks, like scheduling interviews or managing leave requests, HR teams can focus on what truly matters – building authentic team relationships and cultivating an environment where imagination thrives.
This approach doesn’t replace human interaction, it amplifies it and enables a company to maintain its collaborative spirit while embracing innovation, creating a workplace where employees feel connected and valued and clients experience campaigns that resonate well.
Is AI the future?
As AI reshapes the workplace, the focus shifts to the possibilities unlocked by deliberate and thoughtful tool integration. ClickOut Media is paving the way for a future where technology and humanity coexist seamlessly, and AI is steadfastly being used to empower creativity and inspire new ideas across the globe.
The future isn’t about how to adopt technology, it is about mastering its potential to transform challenges into opportunities, and ideas into impact.
So, in this new era, the choice is clear – adapt, innovate, and evolve, or risk being left behind in the wake of those who do.
