The interactive e-learning experience offers nine courses, followed by an assessment. Once the program is completed, participants will receive an official certification as a Twitch expert. The program dives into everything from the Twitch viewer experience, its built-for-livestreaming advertising products, brand safety and suitability efforts, insights and measurement, and more.
“Audiences are migrating to the new platforms, channels and spaces, often at a greater pace than our industry keeps up [with] – we need to be able to understand these platforms inside out to ensure our brands show up in a genuine, authentic way,” says Dan Holland, executive vice-president, Dentsu Gaming.
“The Twitch Gameplan certification is an excellent way to ensure we understand how to best connect with the Twitch community. At Dentsu we have over 700 passionate gaming experts, and thousands more media professionals. We’re excited for our teams to take the Twitch Gameplan certification and learn more about the livestreaming opportunity. Game on!”

“We're looking forward to launching these educational resources and tools to better equip and inspire advertisers to create and engage on Twitch,” says Andrea Garabedian, global head of sales marketing at Twitch. “Viewers on Twitch are more likely to trust and interact with brands when advertisers are invested in understanding our community.
