Twitter is looking to cash in on the sky-high volume of tweets about sports on TV, launching a partnership with ESPN to create custom campaigns for brands around events like the World Series and the Super Bowl.

GameFace will center around the NBA Finals and be promoted on Twitter with the #GameFace hashtag.
