The Results

Exceeding Expectations

An impressive total of 9,2M+ impressions were made, when 4M were estimated. This is partly due to longer stream hours and bigger audiences during the quarantine during the 2 months that the campaign was running.

Positive Impact

Micro Center’s influencer partnerships were incredibly well received by the streamers’ community on Twitch and Twitter. They were an engaged audience with positive interactions, including the overall Twitch chat sentiment which was 70.7% positive.

The campaign reached a minimum of 1,402,008 unique viewers. The streamers content, directly linked to Micro Center visuals, were seen during
4,364,705 hours of streaming during the two months partnership.
