Why Twitch is unlike any other platform
Twitch is the platform of live: hours-long streams, a concentrated and engaged audience, a chat reacting in real time. Where an Instagram post is consumed in seconds, a stream is experienced continuously — the streamer talks to their community like regulars, and a well-integrated brand benefits from that unique closeness.
But these communities have their codes, and they instantly spot bolted-on advertising. A successful Twitch activation doesn't look like an ad: it fits the streamer's format, adds something to the live (content, play, giveaways, standout moments) and leaves the creator their freedom of tone. That is exactly what a specialised agency is for.
What we do on Twitch
We cover the platform's full range of mechanics: stream sponsorships and integrated placements, special live operations (game discovery, challenges, community events), Twitch Ads campaigns alongside earned activations, coordinated multi-streamer programmes for launches, and physical events amplified live.
Casting is our strong suit: we select streamers on data — real audience, chat engagement, partnership history, brand affinity — and we know them personally. On Twitch more than anywhere, the creator's credibility makes the campaign.
Xbox and Call of Duty: our proof in the field
For Xbox, we ran four influence, PR and social campaigns including Twitch on inclusion in gaming — more than 150 million cumulative impressions. For Call of Duty, we have been activating Twitch communities and streamers for over four years, launch after launch.
This continuous practice gives us what can't be improvised: deep knowledge of French streamers, their formats and their audiences.
Twitch for non-gaming brands: the territory to claim
Twitch is no longer reserved for game publishers. Food, beverages, tech, banking, sport: non-endemic brands find a young audience that is hard to reach elsewhere, and a format — live — that builds a bond no short-form content can replicate. The condition: enter through the platform's culture, not through ad interruption.
Our dual expertise in gaming and consumer brands (NIVEA, Panzani, Uber Eats...) puts us exactly at that intersection: we speak the language of streamers and of mainstream brands alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Twitch influencer campaign cost?
The budget depends on the format (integrated placement, dedicated stream, multi-streamer operation), the creators' audiences and the duration. A sponsored live with a mid-size streamer doesn't cost the same as a coordinated operation across ten channels. General ranges are in our guide to influencer campaign costs.
Does Twitch work for brands outside gaming?
Yes — provided you respect the codes. Non-endemic brands succeed on Twitch when they bring value to the live (content, experience, generosity) rather than an advertising message. The choice of streamer and the creative freedom you leave them make all the difference.
Stream sponsorship or Twitch Ads: which should you choose?
They complement each other. Earned sponsorship builds credibility and community engagement; Twitch Ads bring reach and message control. Our programmes typically combine an earned base with paid amplification calibrated to the objective.
How do you select streamers?
Data first: real audience, chat engagement, streaming consistency, partnership history and brand safety (track record of public statements). Then affinity: a streamer who genuinely likes the brand will always deliver a better live than a bigger but mercenary profile.
