Arizona Tribune - GameSquare's Stream Hatchet Launches Creator Communities to Manage the Full Creator Marketing Lifecycle

FRISCO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / March 26, 2026 / Stream Hatchet, the leading provider of data analytics for the live streaming and gaming ecosystem and wholly-owned subsidiary of GameSquare Holdings (NASDAQ:GAME), ("GameSquare", or the "Company") today announced the launch of its Creator Communities feature: A new way of handling the entire creator marketing process in one place, from creator discovery and onboarding to activation and reporting.

Advertising is undergoing a major shift as brands increasingly allocate marketing budgets toward creators, influencers, and online communities alongside traditional digital advertising channels. As campaigns become more data-driven and performance-focused, companies are looking for platforms that can manage creator discovery, drive positive campaign execution, and provide performance analytics in a single workflow. Creator Communities represents the next step in Stream Hatchet's evolution from a data analytics platform into a broader creator marketing platform.

Creator Communities Closes Stream Hatchet's Creator Marketing Loop with One Unified Offering

Creator Communities allow brands and publishers to find creators that suit their brand image and upcoming activation needs by drawing on more than 55 million creators tracked within Stream Hatchet's data platform. Brands can then onboard these creators within the Stream Hatchet app and use bulk messaging to perform outreach or activate creators in a single click. Finally, brands will receive dedicated reporting on the outcomes of their activations with insights and benchmarks against the broader industry.

Stream Hatchet's Creator Communities is enhanced with learnings from the wider range of GameSquare offerings. "At GameSquare, we leverage our data and insights across every company within our ecosystem to maximize our strategic impact", said Jake Phillips, CRO at GameSquare. "In the case of Creator Communities, Stream Hatchet draws on the first-hand experience of Click and Zoned to craft recommendations couched in the realities of creator marketing activations. The result is better synergy between suggested creators and brands."

The launch signifies the first phase of the integration of the previously announced strategy to consolidate Sideqik into the Stream Hatchet platform, marking a major milestone in the Company's strategy to deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end creator marketing platform. The integration of Sideqik significantly expands Stream Hatchet's capabilities beyond analytics, enabling brands and publishers to directly execute and manage creator campaigns at scale.

We're building a system that learns from every campaign, every creator collaboration, and every performance report to surface proactive recommendations."
