Five Million Fans Prove they Like Pro Evolution Soccer
KONAMI's Blockbuster Soccer Franchise Hits Social Media Milestone with Over 5,000,000 Pro Evolution Soccer fans on Facebook
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has announced that its Pro
Evolution Soccer Facebook page is now followed by over five
million people. In honor of this milestone, Cristiano Ronaldo,
one of the world's most recognized players and PES cover
athlete, has recorded a special message for the Facebook fans!
The Real Madrid midfielder, and the new face of the Pro
Evolution Soccer series, has recorded a dedicated message to
this massive amount of fans. Five entrants in the competition
will be chosen at random and will each receive a signed shirt.
The success of KONAMI's Pro Evolution Soccer Facebook page comes
following a concerted push by the publisher's newly-established
Social & Online Media Department. This division was established
in April 2011 when just 1.6 million people were fans. Using a
wealth of exclusive material to attract new fans and by
increasing efforts to lead direct and credible conversations
with them, the division has overseen an increase of over 600
percent in the number of monthly active users, and presided over
a 1,300 percent increase in monthly page views.
The Pro Evolution Soccer Facebook page can be found at
