Not the first creator to partner up with a major brand
Ludwig's collaboration with KFC is just the latest in a long line of major streamer-brand collaborations that have taken place within the online community. These collaborations have become increasingly common in recent years as more brands recognize the power and influence of online content creators.
One notable example of a streamer-brand collaboration is when JJ "KSI," the popular UK-based YouTuber, partnered with Adidas for a commercial. In the commercial, KSI showcases Adidas' new KSI-themed sneakers while incorporating his trademark humor and personality.
