<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to Twitch top gaming streamers, most people think of men.  That\u2019s probably because nearly eight in 10 Twitch visitors were male.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this large disparity, women still show up and claim their place on the platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tenacity makes female Twitch streamers ideal partners for brands looking to promote their products or services to viewers. Just as they go the extra mile to stand out as minority players, they\u2019ll strive to help your brand stand out to their audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why brands should partner with female Twitch streamers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gaming isn\u2019t just for men. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While most Twitch users are male, women are quickly flocking to the platform to share their love for gaming, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while men make up the majority of people playing console and computer games, women have the lead in the mobile space.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In fact, a February 2022 survey<\/a> revealed that more women reported playing video games daily than men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a field long dominated by men, women are making a name for themselves. Gaming streamers like pokimane<\/a> and Valkyrae<\/a> are some of the leading Twitch content creators, and many women are looking to change the platform for the better by advocating for stronger community guidelines and content moderation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This community is also growing fast. In 2017, women made up only 18.5% of users, but now they\u2019re taking up more real estate at 35%<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Three\n\n\n\n

Act on your brand\u2019s values. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though female participation on Twitch is growing, the gaming community can still be hostile toward women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Female streamers are frequently the target of \u201chate raids,\u201d events where a large slew of hateful and inappropriate comments flood a creator\u2019s comments on their stream. Additionally, many women report experiencing harassment on Twitch<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, women are still brave enough to log on and do what they love, despite the haters. And when brands partner with female streamers, they\u2019re showing support for this small but mighty sector of the gaming community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands can reach captive audiences. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike pre-recorded content, live streams facilitate active conversations through community chats. Being able to connect with the streamer and fellow viewers instantaneously keeps users engaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while brands can run ads on these streams, content-creator partnerships have some clear benefits. For example, many users run ad blockers that can work around the system and block out paid content. On the other hand, the audience will be paying attention when an influencer drops info about a product or service in the middle of their stream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twitch feels more personal than other platforms. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike TikTok, where the default is a 3-minute-or-less video, a live stream on Twitch can last anywhere from minutes to hours. In fact, it\u2019s not uncommon for a stream to be between 3 to 6 hours long<\/a>. When combined with the streamer\u2019s ability to respond in real-time to comments, these factors allow for users to feel much more connected to a content creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This high level of trust can benefit brands looking to partner with a streamer, as their audience will be more likely to take their recommendations to heart. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 34% of respondents<\/a> would like to discover new brands and products through a live stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Word of advice: Be sure the streamer you partner with is a true fan of your brand. After hours and hours of watching their favorite gaming streamers, viewers will easily be able to tell when someone\u2019s response to a product or brand is less than genuine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
