Overview: When eSports live streaming leaders Hitbox and Azubu merged to create a strong #2 competitor Twitch, a new name was needed.
Challenge: The challenge was in creating a name that communicated energy, movement, and excitement around the site’s content. Another challenge was time – a new name had to be created (and vetted) within days.
Solution: We collaborated daily with the Azubu/Hitbox team in creating the name Smashcast – a name that pushes the boundaries of live streaming and evokes a sense of thrill. The new name enables the brand to tell a story of generating smash hits with content, whether it’s via Smashcast’s new production studio or platform tools that help identify quality streams of broadcasters.
