Let’s Engage in Gaming
Hello friend,
I will say it again – gaming and live streaming are future industries. Any brand that hasn’t noticed this trend will be left behind because it is impossible to target while ignoring such an important market segment. Young people have long abandoned traditional media and are engaged elsewhere, and video games and live streaming are part of this environment. Moreover, through commitment, they become loyal to those who support this ecosystem. Not only are brands seeing it, but also celebrities, athletes, and actors – because these industries are more than just the ability to reach the group – it’s the whole community that is here and wants to stay in touch with each other in this way. This is how a community is built.
Let’s go together!
