    The Nordic audience nobody
    else can reach.

    Young, engaged, ad-block-proof, and watching millions of hours of Nordic streaming a year. Here is who the global Twitch audience is, what the Nordic slice of it looks like, and what a native campaign actually delivers.

    Who is watching

    The hardest audience in media to reach anywhere else

    Twitch draws 105 million average monthly visitors worldwide, and 70% of them are between 18 and 34, per Amazon Ads' own Twitch advertising figures. GWI puts the audience at roughly 72% aged 16 to 34, two thirds male, and over-indexing the top 10% of income earners worldwide.

    The number that matters most: 65% of Twitch viewers cannot be reached on leading social channels (GWI, cited by Amazon Ads). This is not an audience you are already buying somewhere cheaper.

    The Nordic inventory

    3.4 million hours of Nordic Twitch a year

    This is the supply a Nordic campaign draws from: streamed hours per year by language, snapshotted from SullyGnome. Finnish and Swedish lead, but Norwegian and Danish carry the highest CPMs and the least competition.

    The format

    The ad renders inside the stream

    That is a real Beta Ads overlay for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, running natively in a Norwegian Twitch stream. It is drawn into the video feed through OBS, so ad-block software has nothing to detect and nothing to remove.

    That matters because roughly 64% of livestream viewers run ad-block (inStreamly, 2026). A native overlay is one of the few formats this audience does not, and cannot, skip.

    <5%

    of media budgets reach an audience this size

    Gaming and live streaming still take less than 5% of overall media investment, per eMarketer data cited in Dentsu's 2025 Gaming Trends Report, despite reaching billions of hours of the exact demographic brands say they want. That gap is the entire opportunity, and it closes a little every quarter.

    Proof, not promises
