The Challenge
Creating a Category That Didn't Exist
1 No precedent for live commerce. Creator-led shopping didn't exist in the U.S. — no playbook for integrating sales into live entertainment.
2 30 million non-Prime viewers to convert. Only 5M of Twitch's 35M U.S. viewers were Prime members — a massive conversion opportunity.
3 36-hour live production with 29 creators. Marathon broadcast with 100+ products and complex commerce integrations requiring flawless orchestration.
4 Authenticity at scale. Twitch's audience is skeptical of overt sales. Commerce had to enhance the experience, not interrupt it.
The Mandate
Invent a live commerce format that drives Prime Day sales and sign-ups while staying true to Twitch's community-first culture — years before anyone else would attempt it.
The Approach
QVC Meets Twitch
Reimagine the TV shopping format through Twitch culture: irreverent, interactive, and creator-driven.
01
Concept & Format Design
Designed 18 two-hour segments pairing creators with products they authentically use,
wrapped in satirical entertainment energy across a 36-hour marathon.
02
Multi-Channel Pre-Launch
10-day campaign across paid social, email, house media, PR, and creator socials
with custom video content. Drove awareness and sign-ups before the show started.
03
Creator-Led Commerce
Curated 29 creators with 100+ products. Integrated Amazon directly for
in-stream purchasing — buy without leaving Twitch.
04
Manufacturer Partnerships
Sourced 7 of the top 10 products directly from manufacturers as exclusive
Twitch deals. Transformed the format from cost center to revenue platform.
The Results
