By tailoring messaging to game genre, stream context, creator voice, and viewer segments, brands can achieve higher relevance and CTR uplift by nearly 2X the industry average with this solution. In application, branded content gets smoothly baked into creator content in the form of pop-ups, audio-triggered ads, in-chat promotions, and more. With access to over 500 verified creators, rStream campaigns can reach up to 100 million users across Rooter and YouTube – setting the stage for effective outreach to the Gen Z community at scale.

Brand partners can access this granular tracking of in-stream ad views through an easily accessible live dashboard, which is additionally verified by a leading third-party research agency.
Speaking about rStream’s potential, Piyush, Founder and CEO, Rooter said “Gaming environments are known to generate high viewability and attention rates.
