How Gokstad Akademiet recruited the next generation of IT and design students through native Twitch stream overlays.

Challenge
Gokstad Akademiet wanted to connect with the next generation of IT and design professionals where they are most active. The goal was to show tech-savvy individuals how a passion for gaming can lead to a career in development or marketing. To do this effectively, the academy looked past standard ads. They needed to share a time-sensitive opportunity regarding free study places for the Autumn 2026 intake. This message required more than a static image. It needed the personal touch and trust that comes from a live personality.
Solution


Viewers encountered a Live Stream Overlay during natural breaks in content. While the graphic displayed the school's branding, streamers explained the connection between gaming and studying IT or design. A direct link in the chat allowed interested students to browse the course catalog right away. The campaign covered 49 different categories to ensure the message reached a wide variety of interests. In total, 22 creators helped share these study opportunities.
Impact
The audience showed strong interest, resulting in a 1.22% click-through rate. This metric proves the offer was relevant enough for viewers to take action. With over 100K completed views, the campaign successfully introduced the academy to potential students. The results confirm a clear alignment between the gaming community and technical education. This approach effectively drove traffic to the application portal for the upcoming academic year.
