Proposed next steps:

You need to be the project owner to select a next step.

Our initial research found that there are a great deal of United States-based gaming influencers who have highly successful Youtube channels and Instagram pages. As such, we'd recommend further research to identify 7 to 10 additional gaming influencers with between 50,000 and 1,000,000 followers on one or both of the social media platforms individually. For each, follower numbers, the type(s) of game(s) played, and contact information will be provided.
