Content Creator Challenge Day 15: Brands You Want to Work With

Getting to work with different brands is the epitome of being a content creator. Working with other brands or being sponsored by brands is when I think you consider yourself to have achieved influencer status, otherwise, you're kind of just creating a blog of your life and people are getting entertainment out of it on occasion. 

I am currently nowhere near being at the point that I could even think of working with other companies or being sponsored by some, but if I had to pick which of the brands in existence I would want to partner with, these would be them and these are the reasons.

In no particular order;

- Nintendo

    This is a very popular gaming company that was first started back in 1889. Over a hundred years before I was born. And while they may not have always been a huge part of my life, they are definitely the biggest part of why I game. Nintendo and its Mario franchise have helped hundreds of thousands of people to find a love of gaming, including myself. I continue to love Nintendo and its products and continue to throw money at them in the form of new consoles, new controllers, and new games. Sure there might be better ways to game in terms of quality graphics and quality consoles; but that feeling of nostalgia can never be beat. As somebody who considers themselves to be a Nintendo Girlie, to partner with them or receive merch from them would be a blessing beyond belief. 
- El Gato

    This company produces several streamer-friendly gear including their most well-known stream deck which allows creators to easily swap scenes or initiate different on-screen visuals and any number of other things. While I have not had the pleasure of getting a stream deck just yet, I have been using one of their capture card devices since I first started streaming. My capture card allows me to connect my switch to my laptop and OBS with ease. That way I can share all of my content with you lovely folks.

- Disney

    Do I really need to say more? Disney is my childhood and a large portion of my relief when it comes to releasing stress. To be partnered with them is probably a very rarely achieved dream, you need to fit some very strict requirements if you want to work with them.

- Nerf

    Nerf was started in 1969; yes, go ahead and laugh at the number of you immature buffoons. Nerf started with sports balls like footballs and basketballs, it wouldn't be until 20 years later that they would create their first blaster. Since then they have made hundreds of different blasters with some of their most well-known series being the N-Strike Force and the Elite Blasters. More recently, they have been doing collaborations with games like Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, and more. My family used to have huge Nerf battles, it was a great way for family bonding. There were a couple times that we thought we should make a YouTube channel with our battles. I still love Nerf and still have most of our original blasters but I also now have a large collection of their Fortnite series blasters because why wouldn't I? Being sponsored by them and getting new blasters to try out would be awesome and would make my brothers jealous, possibly even make my dad mad we didn't actually make those videos.

- Build-a-Bear Workshop

    As somebody who used to work for the company, BAB has influenced me in many ways. I am happy to have been a part of their family and was sad that I had to depart but I left on my own accord to follow my dream career path and they understood that. I still go to my local store often and have way more of their plushies than I would have ever imagined when I was little. While I wouldn't stop spending my money with them, having a sponsorship with them where they provided me with the latest Pokemon plushies in turn for showing it on stream would be amazing.

- Deddy Bears

    I only recently came to know and love Deddy Bears but I think they fit our theme very well. Nighttime creatures, things that go bump in the night, plushies. Very much our persona right?

- Littles Laboratory

    A lot of people don't realize it right away but I am a little. I age regress on occasion. The online community definitely sees that side a little bit more than the in-person crowd does but that is because in person I feel very restricted by society and online I can relax and be myself and accept that I have some things in life that I need to work through. I found Littles Laboratory back when they first started out of the upper west coast states out of a single apartment. Before they vanished for a couple years and came back under new ownership. They still have tons of fun designs that they had back then but they now have even more options and have expanded from just adult onesies to underwear for both genders, full pajama sets, tutus, and more. I have not had the chance to order any of their merch just yet, mostly because I haven't had a safe space to order them to and wear them, but also because I want to get in healthier shape before I order them that way they will fit for a while.
