As per the deal, Strive Sponsorship will provide content, podcasts and editing services to Smarkets News and SBK Betting Zone. Thanks to Strive’s talented writing team, Smarkets’ sites will receive coverage of nine of the most popular sports. This includes the National Football League, the National Basketball League, soccer, rugby and golf, among others. Content will include articles, opinion pieces, betting tips, podcasts and more.

Additionally, Minns said that his team feels honored to be entrusted with developing longer-form content for Smarkets News and SBK Betting Zone. He noted that this attests to the supreme quality of Strive Sponsorship’s services.

Therefore, to be entrusted with developing longer-form content for both the Smarkets exchange and SBK sportsbook app is testament to the high quality and versatile team we have and our ability to deliver specialist content agency services.
