&lt;p&gt;Content Arena, a fully automated online marketplace for trading sports rights, has chosen HiWay Media to launch a dedicated betting streaming and video integration service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new project aims to diversify the industry by creating and tapping into previously unexplored and inaccessible monetisation opportunities, benefiting both rights holders and betting operators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The platform is developed thanks to HiWay Media’s technological innovation and expertise, confirming its significant role in the world of video streaming and cutting-edge digital solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This new direct-to-market hub fills a significant commercial gap, offering an alternative solution for rights holders and bookmakers to directly sell and purchase audiovisual betting content, reducing the industry`s reliance on intermediaries or resellers that aggregate content and are increasingly selective and price-sensitive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Content Arena will offer sellers and buyers transparent efficiency tracking, betting-specific automated transactions, and smart contracts. Most importantly, it will provide fully flexible and adaptive pricing models, adjusted territory-by-territory and match-by-match, managed through a dedicated in-house platform, ensuring seamless integration with direct video delivery from rights holders to bookmakers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Besides HiWay Media for the technological aspect, the company is supported by a newly formed group of strategic shareholders and partners, including former Sportradar and sports betting services executive Lukas Seiler (https://fcsportsmedia.com), leading sports media advisor Sascha Kojic (https://sn1-consulting.com), media and marketing entrepreneur Vuk Mitrovic (https://sportsadd.com), and Perform and DAZN co-founder John Gleasure (https://sportingnewsholdings.com).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;We are excited to support the birth and development of such an innovative project - says Giuseppe Sampino - The great respect and long-standing knowledge we have of the key players in this new venture, combined with our experience in the world of video and digital platforms, have naturally led HiWay Media to partner with Content Arena. At the same time, it represents another prestigious recognition of our growth from our inception to today&#34;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“While video streaming has become a key marketing driver for bookmakers worldwide, the budgets for an increasing number of rights are being drastically cut, leaving some rights holders unable to generate revenue growth. At the same time, bookmakers are demanding more flexibility in terms of volume and exploitation,” says Lukas Seiler, Advisory Board Member. “Content Arena is perfectly positioned to fill this market gap and complement the industry by providing a truly alternative, far more transparent, and adaptable direct-to-market trading and integration option.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Contact for more information: team@contentarena.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;hm-image-wys&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://proxy-img.hiwaymedia.hiway.media/vimages/67190d47/CA_16_9_2.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;Content-Arena-images&#34; style=&#34;display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-bottom: 16px; max-width: 100%; width: auto; pointer-events: none;&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Content Arena partners with HiWay Media for the launch of its marketplace platform for Audiovisual Betting Rights

&lt;p&gt;In what feels like a major transfer window signing, HiWay Media has brought on board a new driving force for its international growth. Julio Fariñas Baro, founder of ZENON Business &amp;amp; Sports Consulting, former CEO of Footters, and ex-Director of Audiovisual B2C Business at LaLiga, is joining the Milan-based team as a Business Consultant, bringing his strategic expertise to support their global expansion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fariñas is no stranger to the world of sports. A former professional footballer, he made his mark in Italy`s Serie B with Ravenna during the 1999/2000 season before smoothly transitioning into the business side of the industry, leading digital innovations in sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After successfully leading Footters, the go-to platform for Spain`s Primera Federación, Fariñas then took the helm of LaLiga`s Audiovisual D2C Business, becoming an important figure within LaLiga’s structure during his two years there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, through his firm ZENON, Fariñas joins HiWay Media`s team, bringing his tactical vision and extensive experience to help steer the company’s rapid global expansion. This partnership marks an important step for both HiWay Media and ZENON, reaffirming their shared commitment to innovation and international growth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HiWay Media couldn`t be more excited about this top signing, and with Fariñas on the team, the future looks bright.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giuseppe Sampino: &#34;We’re thrilled to welcome Julio to our family. His arrival is a testament to how HiWay Media has become an international player, attracting attention in the market. With his sharp vision and extensive international experience, we’re ready to elevate our global game to the next level. Julio is not only a top-tier professional, but also a person of great character. We are grateful for his enthusiasm and willingness to take on this new challenge with us.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Julio Fariñas Baro: “I am very excited to dive into this new chapter with HiWay Media. The energy and drive of this young company, already making waves, perfectly align with my competitive spirit, honed on the football field and now in the sports business arena. My long-standing admiration for Giuseppe made this decision a no-brainer. I’m eager to team up with everyone at HiWay and explore how far we can go together on the global stage, both through my personal role and through ZENON.”&lt;/p&gt;

HiWay Media Signs a Star Player to Boost Global Expansion

&lt;p&gt;&#34;A winning `double` team doesn’t change,&#34; as in the best tennis traditions. HiWay Media will continue to be the technological partner of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (FITP) for the SuperTenniX.it OTT platform - including the mobile apps and smart tv Apps - until the end of 2027.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The partnership between HiWay Media and FITP has been renewed for another four years (2024-2027), following the first cycle in which https://supertennix.it/it offered tennis and padel enthusiasts dozens of live tournaments, highlights, special content, and in-depth analysis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has truly become a home for racket sports fans, offering live events and on-demand content, including many features.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These days, of course, all eyes are on the US Open, which SuperTennix.it is fully broadcasting, along with plenty of exclusive content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giuseppe Sampino, CEO of HiWay Media, stated: &#34;We are very pleased to continue our journey with FITP. Two years ago, we took on a challenging project in terms of timing and implementation, and today we are proud to see that this effort has been appreciated. Our team has developed great technological capabilities and support for a complex platform, especially given the number of live events, often happening simultaneously. We are happy to continue this `match` with FITP for another three years, and we are committed to further improving our service.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;
