Marketing and brand placement have been a very integral part of the growth of any company. How they connected with the consumer base marked the turning point in their lives. However, we have come a long way from print and television ad placement.

Today, Brands have been rolling out creative ways to market their products. Whether it is through guerilla marketing or by making the most famous celebrity their brand ambassador, brands have been doing it all.

However, there is a new trend in the market it seems. For the past few years, brands have been collaborating with influencers who would live stream their videos to their millions of fans.

This gives them an opportunity to spread the word to many in one go. As suggested by Wishpond, here are some of the brands that have done a commendable job when it comes to influencer live streamings.
