Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and Tony the Tiger recently joined forces with Twitch's Brand Partnership Studio to have the mascot become an interactive VTuber. The mascot will compete against well-known Twitch streamers Brennon "GoldGlove" O'Neill, Chrissy Costanza (chrissyofficial), and Jakeem "BigCheese" Johnson on Tony's new Twitch channel. The players will compete in a popular battle royale game on Friday, August 19, from 5-7 pm ET.
"Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and Tony the Tiger are always looking for ways to connect with lifelong fans and the next generation of cereal lovers, whether that's through releasing new fun flavors of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes or by showing up in new places," said Sadie Garcia, Director of Brand Marketing at Kellogg All Family Cereal. "Twitch is a growing service with more than 31 million average daily visitors, giving Tony and Kellogg's Frosted Flakes a chance to connect with new audiences and engage unlike we've ever done before with a fun and innovative gaming experience."
Twitch is an excellent platform for developing deeper relationships with fans through Tony the Tiger's Cereal Bowl. As part of the 2-hour livestream, fans will have the chance to participate in polls and chime in on chat.
