We also can’t wait to give fans the ultimate experience at the first TwitchCon outside of the U.S. in April."

Nathan Lindberg, senior director, Global Sponsorship at Twitch, added, "The Twitch community thrives on being able to directly support their favorite streamers both emotionally and financially, and seeing that support show up on screen is an added bonus. Through ‘Bits for Blades,’ Gillette is empowering fans to completely support their favorite streamers and be recognized for it by their peers, all because of their affinity for Gillette products. That’s a win-win for everyone."
