Jacqueline Garrett on what esports fans are looking for in broadcast
I think from a viewers perspective they're looking for a bit of creativity. They're looking for the authenticity. They're definitely looking to be entertained. I feel like they don't want to be overly distracted. But I like a bit of creativity in the way that brands are being able to be utilized on Twitch.
