Sponsorship & Brand Integration (Advertorial) Market: Twitch Opens Sponsorships to Affiliates Worldwide

The platform partnered with creator-marketing company Wehype to surface additional campaign opportunities inside Twitch's Sponsorship Dashboard; an EA Battlefield sponsorship is available via Wehype this week. Twitch also updated creator profile tools so partners and Affiliates can share channel and sponsorship information with brands and highlight sponsored clips.
