"We know that Ninja has an engaged community of gamers and fans around the world. What better way to ring in the New Year than with giveaways and special discounts on great pizzas for this exciting live event!"

Since receiving worldwide fame as a legend of YouTube, Ninja is finding great engagement success in 2023 multicasting through various streaming services, including Twitch, YouTube and TikTok. As one of the most-watched talents on Twitch, the event promises to access a key market for digitally native audiences.

Tapping into this new lane of entertainment, "Ninja's NYE" is taking the digital world into the new year; a Dick Clark production for the modern digital age.
