Best Twitch streamers in 2023

Top streamers on Twitch may turn out to be the right influencers who can successfully promote your brand. To bring this strategy to life, you should be sure that your target audience uses this social media network and your product or service matches it, as well. So, how can you find out if your product is suitable for advertising on Twitch? How to find your ideal influencer for promotion? Which of the influencers have the largest number of subscribers today? Find the answers to these questions in the article from BuzzGuru.

What can you advertise on Twitch?

Twitch can be a great platform for influencer marketing, but it does not really suit all brands. Even if you cooperate with top Twitch streamers, this does not guarantee that you will run an effective advertising campaign that will bring you big sales. That's because of the specific nature of this platform: its audience predominantly consists of computer game fans.

So here are the types of products whose advertising will be appropriate on this entertainment platform:

  • Games: The most common products that are promoted on Twitch are mobiles, consoles, and computer games. Influencers can both mention them on their streams and directly stream them.
  • Services: Food delivery, taxi, streaming of movies, games and music, airplane ticket selection, and so on. All the services are related to improving the quality of life of a person who spends a lot of time in front of various screens.
  • Fandom merch: Themed clothing and souvenirs that are dedicated to various games, TV series, movies. From T-shirts with Harry Potter-themed prints to figures of characters from The Witcher universe.
  • Equipment: Computers, laptops, smartphones, speakers, headphones, microphones, monitors, mice, and so on. The same list of gamer's equipment includes various joysticks, handlebars for racing, and special chairs.

How are the most popular Twitch streamers useful for your business?

Top streamers on Twitch have a very important resource for promoting your brand, which is the audience. If you have correctly selected the right influencers to advertise your products or services, some of their followers will likely become your potential or direct customers.

Influencer marketing on Twitch implies several types of advertising, which we will describe in more detail below:

Twitch influencer marketing ad types you need to know

Influencer marketing on Twitch contains three general techniques that streamers, who promote brands, use. Here are they:

  • Mentioning the brand on the stream: You can arrange with the influencer to mention your brand during the stream and, for example, show a picture of your product on their screen. Also, the fact that the stream is sponsored by your brand can be reflected in its name.
  • Streaming the advertised game: If you want to advertise your new game, arrange with influencers so that they play it on their channels.
  • Enabling commercials during the stream: Streamers can run short videos with a presentation of your products or services, which resembles an advertisement on television.
