LIVE Stars October: first place in Diamond
We closed out October with first place in the LIVE Stars Creator Network Tournament, competing in the Diamond league across AU+.
That makes five LIVE Stars wins in 2026: the February, April, June, August and October editions. Every one of them is built on our creators showing up LIVE for their communities.

First place in the new Star Light Showdown
October also brought a brand-new campaign format from TikTok: the Star Light Creator Network Showdown. Stream Chasers took first place, in the highest agency league in the region.
Star Light is all about developing star creators, so this one means a lot. It shows what we’re built to do: help creators grow into stars, with a team behind them every step of the way.

The world’s first LIVE Pro Agency

TikTok crowned our founders Ed and Ri LIVE Pro Champions, the highest badge of honour a TikTok LIVE streamer can earn. It sits above LIVE Pro itself.

Creator Network of the Year, in our first year
At an awards night in Bondi, TikTok named Stream Chasers the AU/NZ Creator Network of the Year for 2024. It’s the highest honour TikTok gives a Creator Network in the region.
For a network founded that same year, it was a big statement about what was coming next.

Stream Chasers is born
Ed and Ri started Stream Chasers in Sydney in 2024, after years of streaming on TikTok LIVE themselves. They knew what creators actually needed, and what most agencies weren’t delivering.
The plan was simple: real support, real know-how and real backing for TikTok LIVE streamers across Australia and New Zealand, with no fees and no lock-ins.
