Greetings from JesterLine!!
JesterLine is still very much alive…. just operating a little differently and without a public storefront. As many of you know, we decided to close our storefront on December 18, 2020. It was a decision we wrestled with for months before finally making the call. However, we wanted to let you know that while we closed our storefront, WE DID NOT SHUT DOWN JESTERLINE LLC!
So, what is JesterLine doing now? We are finally able to put all our focus onto the consulting side of JesterLine. It has always been there, just not as active or visible as our gaming center. We did not have the time and resources to dedicate to outside projects while the storefront was running, so there was not much push to grow the consulting side…. until now. During our “downtime” through the COVID shutdown, we were able to nurture the consulting side a little more and decided now is the time to make these services more open to the public. Here are some of the ways we are now able to offer our consulting and training services:
• High School Esports League (HSEL) consultants/trainers
• Streaming studio consultants
• Virtual learning consultants (we will be offering other learning consultant services….stay tuned)
In early 2020, we became CERTIFIED US HSEL for trainers & consultants. This allows us to facilitate, establish and maintain esport programs into school system at the high school and middle school levels anywhere in the United States. Additionally, we are able with colleges and universities, as well. We have been partnered with one of the main IT distribution partners of the HSEL program since 2016, so we are readily available to help supply schools with the necessary equipment at the best possible price point.
During our COVID shutdown, we built a fully functioning streaming studio that has been actively streaming content and increasing stats since July 2020. We have been fortunate enough to make some valuable connections inside the gaming community that have allowed us to obtain a good deal of experience casting tournaments. Therefore, we are able to assist in designing a streaming space to meet your needs, supply all necessary equipment to get you up and running, and provide training/coaching to anyone wanting to learn on how to stream/cast events through various platforms. We also have consulting opportunities for those already somewhat familiar with streaming and wanting to learn advanced techniques to enhance their streaming abilities. All of this experience allows us to be full-service consultants for any streaming need inside (or outside) the school system.
While central WV is where we call home, we are happy to consult with others outside of this area – even outside of WV. JesterLine is listed on the US national database for HSEL consultants, and we would love to help get as many schools connected in the state, and across the US, as possible. Feel free to share with your local school administrators so we can start getting connected!
*Any schools interested in consulting services may send us a DM for more information. *
We are looking forward to a better year in 2021!
With Sincerest Thanks,
