Tips for Working With Funny Twitch Streamers

When looking for a Twitch influencer with a funny bone, remember that not every streamer is a suitable match for every brand. Before partnering with a Twitch streamer, ask yourself some of the following questions.

Does the streamer’s humor align with your brand’s identity?

If your brand has a family-friendly image, an influencer who relies on risqué jokes won’t be an ideal match. On the other hand, a streamer who enjoys slapstick comedy and random antics may not appeal to audiences who prefer subtler wit. Browse through an influencer’s past content to make sure their voice and tone is compatible with your brand’s identity.

Does the streamer rely solely on Twitch?

Insider Intelligence reports that “of the 25 highest-earning streamers, 24 are men.” However, research by the Entertainment Software Association shows that 46% of all gamers are women. So, unless your brand’s target audience is specifically male gamers, you’ll want to expand your influencer marketing campaign to other platforms as well.

Fortunately, many Twitch streamers are active on networks such as YouTube and Twitter. Check for links to additional accounts on a streamer’s profile page.

Is your audience on Twitch?

Just as Twitch streamers are predominantly male, the platform’s core audience has traditionally been male, over half of which are ages 18 to 34. If your brand aligns with this audience, Twitch is an ideal platform on which to focus your influencer marketing efforts.

However, the coronavirus pandemic has changed the way the world looks for entertainment sources. Now, Twitch is seeing musicians, comedians and even politicians turn to the platform to reach live audiences. Your brand can take advantage of these evolving trends to find new audience members.

Twitch allows you to search for content based on factors such as genre. However, you can also use The Creator Marketplace® to streamline the process of conducting keyword-based searches within the marketplace of potential gamers.
