Valorant Champions 2024, the fourth world championship for Riot Games' popular shooter, wrapped up in Seoul on August 25th. Although this tournament didn’t break overall viewership records, it achieved the highest audience reach in Valorant’s history on YouTube and TikTok.

One of the major stories of the event's group stage was the early elimination of several top teams. Notably, Gen.G, who had reached the finals of Masters Madrid and won Masters Shanghai earlier in the year, failed to advance to the playoffs. Similarly, Paper Rex, the Singaporean team that finished as the silver medalists at Valorant Champions 2023, also did not make it past the group stage.

The standout team in the playoffs was undoubtedly the Chinese squad EDward Gaming. After a crucial victory over Trace Esports in the first round, they won three grueling series against Sentinels, Leviatán, and then overcame Team Heretics in the decisive series. The grand final went the distance, extending to all five maps, and EDward Gaming’s victory represented a major milestone for Chinese teams in the professional Valorant scene, just a year after Valorant’s official release in China.

The grand final of Valorant Champions 2024 attracted up to 1.41 million concurrent viewers, slightly surpassing our expectations for the match between EDward Gaming and Team Heretics. This tournament achieved the second-highest peak viewership in the Champions series, falling just 6% short of the record set by Valorant Champions 2022. Overall, it ranked fourth in peak viewership in the history of the game.

Valorant Champions 2024 was covered by the largest number of channels ever for a Valorant world championship. The tournament set new records for peak viewership on YouTube and TikTok, reaching 497,200 and 35,300 viewers, respectively. These figures are impressive, especially considering the tournament did not lead in overall popularity metrics. The increase in audience on YouTube and TikTok was largely driven by heightened activity on Asian channels.

Conversely, official Portuguese-language broadcasts on Twitch and YouTube experienced a significant drop compared to last year’s championship, primarily due to the absence of the Brazilian team LOUD. Official Japanese broadcasts, which is one of the key languages for Valorant esports, also saw declines due to the absence of any Japanese teams in Valorant Champions 2024.

The primary broadcast languages for the tournament were English, Japanese, and Spanish. Notably, the share of watch time for English and Japanese was the lowest in the history of the world championships. In contrast, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese languages achieved their highest viewership results ever for Valorant Champions.

The Vietnamese language set a new record for peak viewership, reaching 71,800 viewers, surpassing the previous high of 55,300 during Masters Madrid. Similarly, Chinese language viewership reached a new peak, rising from 37,500 during VCT 2024: China Kickoff to 42,900 viewers.

In terms of streaming platforms, Valorant Champions 2024 was notable for its diverse coverage, including its first-time broadcast on SOOP and CHZZK. Kick, which debuted at last year’s world championship with minimal viewership, also continued its presence this year.

During Valorant Champions 2024, viewership for prominent community casters declined notably. For instance, the average viewership on tarik’s channel, the most popular community caster in the discipline, dropped from 95,000 to 54,500 viewers. Similarly, mixwell, a former pro player and well-known Spanish streamer, saw a comparable decline.

The trends for official channels indicate a shift in where audiences are tuning in. The official English-language Valorant channel on Twitch experienced its lowest-ever number of Hours Watched, generating only 4.4 million HW in 2024 compared to 10.7 million HW in 2021. In contrast, the Valorant Champions Tour channel on YouTube saw a consistent increase in viewership.

The grand final's peak viewership might have been significantly higher had Sentinels participated. Additionally, the tournament’s viewer statistics were affected by the less favorable time zone for United States fans, which contributed to the lower viewership numbers on tarik’s stream. However, there is potential for improvement at the next world championship: Riot Games has announced that Valorant Champions 2025 will be held in Paris between September and October.

Stay tuned for more information regarding this year’s extravaganza - we can promise it’s one you won’t want to miss!

Done+Dusted Tapped to Produce 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Done+Dusted is thrilled to announce our continued partnership with the Kennedy Center for the 47th annual Kennedy Center Honors, as covered by The Hollywood Reporter. This year's ceremony promises an unforgettable celebration of artistic excellence, recognizing Francis Ford Coppola, The Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt, Arturo Sandoval, and the iconic Apollo Theater.

As producing partners for this prestigious event, we are honored to play a role in celebrating these cultural trailblazers. The Kennedy Center Honors is a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire, uplift, and unite us all. Stay tuned for more details about this year's ceremony, a night of extraordinary performances and heartfelt tributes paying homage to the artists and institutions that have shaped our cultural landscape.

Done+Dusted Returns for 47th Kennedy Center Honors, Celebrating Cultural Icons

On July 16th, our Brands team, led by Becky Dillon, hosted their inaugural marketing event at Neuhouse in Hollywood. The morning gathering brought together industry leaders to delve into the growing pressure to showcase immediate results following live events. However, a key revelation emerged: a brand's most valuable metric might not be quantifiable on a spreadsheet.

“There's nothing like being in a room of other people who love what you love, it's pure magic.’ -  Leanne McGowan

Live events evoke emotion and foster an authentic sense of community through the bond of shared experience. They leave a lasting impression long after the event is over which in turn leads to an increase in brand affinity and customer loyalty.

“It’s not about that one day experience but the lead up and the weeks, if not months after that people are remembering that special experience and still talking about it.” - Lauren Birnbaum

“I believe that live entertainment is the evolution of experiences, this idea of accessibility for the masses. There is a domino effect of people taking clips, sharing the full live, sharing a component of it on and off the app.” - Lauren Birnbaum

Reach can be measured in terms of engagement but we often overlook the reach derived from user generated content (UGC). In addition to eyeballs generated by broadcast, your attendees, influencers, and talent are all sharing their real-time experiences across multiple platforms. This organically extends your event's impact and makes live events a priceless investment for marketers seeking to maximize their brand's visibility with audiences.

Live events serve as dynamic “content studios,” producing an abundance of high-quality content which can be repurposed across multiple platforms. This not only amplifies your event’s reach but also provides an ‘always on’ content strategy that keeps audiences connected and engaged with the brand long after the event has concluded.

“There's a lot of content. We have thousands of pieces of ‘produced’ content at each Riot global event. That doesn't count what's on peoples phones or what the creators are posting around the arena. There is a sheer volume of content because people want to share that experience.” -  Leanne McGowan

Knowing that audience consumption patterns are ever-changing, it's critical to meet audiences where they are with content tailored to each medium and platform. Our panelists provided valuable insights into effective strategies that drive success:.

‘You have to film in that 9x16 vertical format. You need to ensure that you're pinpointing the right target and that there's going to be enough emotion, experience, and entertainment in that shot. Creators are filming 10-15 pieces of content a day and Partners are not, so there is a learning curve.’  - Lauren Birnbaum

Live broadcasts are unpredictable and just about anything can happen from tech failures and talent showing up late to hurricanes and political unrest. It’s crucial to bring your partners in from the beginning to create contingencies and plan for worst case scenarios.

“We start early. My first phone call after I get out of an internal meeting is to Done+ Dusted. “What if this happens? Or that?” As a producer, you have to think of every worst case scenario.” - Salam Darwaza

The true value of live events lies in the crucial, yet less quantifiable aspects of audience sentiment, extended reach, and longtail content. By harnessing the holistic power of live events through dynamic creative, marketers can elevate brand visibility and deepen audience connections in a way no other medium can touch.

At Done+Dusted, we understand this transformative power. With over 26 years of experience crafting major cultural moments—from Live Specials and Opening Ceremonies to Keynotes and major Esports events—our expertise has demonstrated the profound impact live events can have on a brand's key milestones.

Key Takeaways from Done+Dusted's Think Like A Brand, Act Like A Broadcaster Event

As featured in The Hollywood Reporter, Done+Dusted's creativity shone at the Kids' Choice Awards, reuniting the team with Nickelodeon for a night of fun.

Last Saturday night's Kids' Choice Awards marked a triumphant return to the fun-filled spirit that Nickelodeon is known for, and Done+Dusted was thrilled to be a part of this exciting endeavor. Partnering once again with Nickelodeon, we brought our creative expertise to life in the heart of Bikini Bottom.

The vibrant underwater world of SpongeBob SquarePants came alive on stage, with giant palm trees, oversized slushie cups, and a first-ever rainbow slime explosion from a giant birthday cake. This innovative design, the brainchild of production designer Julio Himede, was a testament to the show's enduring legacy and a celebration of its 25th anniversary. We at Done+Dusted were proud to play a role in crafting this immersive experience, blending augmented reality with live elements to create a seamless and visually stunning show. This collaboration allowed us to push the boundaries of innovation, ultimately delivering a truly memorable experience for both the live audience and viewers at home.

On December 10, 2023, TikTok marked a historic moment with its inaugural global music event, "In the Mix," held at Sloan Park, Arizona. This groundbreaking live music experience, featuring a star-studded lineup including Cardi B, Niall Horan, Anitta, Peso Pluma, and Charlie Puth, showcased an innovative set design by our incredible creative partner and designer, Julio Himede.

Set Design Magazine had the pleasure of catching up with Himede to discuss the creative journey behind his team’s iconic contribution to "In the Mix." Himede and his team, experts in production design, creative direction, and art direction, transformed the live music space for the TikTok era, seamlessly blending the digital and physical realms.

Julio Himede shared insights into their design philosophy: “Fueled by the connectivity of social media and TikTok's ability to bring fans closer to their favorite artists, we positioned the TIK TOK IN THE MIX stage at the center of the arena. This setup crafted a distinctive and fully immersive music experience for both artists and fans.”

Julio Himede emphasized the shift in show design paradigms, stating, “Show design is now seen through the camera lens, and the salience of social media imagery is central to the design process.”

Our work at "In the Mix" reflects a transformative shift in the world of show design. We’re constantly learning to harness the dominance of social media and smartphones, and recognize their impact on audience experiences. 

As audiences adapt and gravitate to new forms of entertainment, we too insist upon staying nimble by creating experiences that meet them where they are in their media consumption habits. When TikTok approached our teams with the desire to create its first-ever live event, we became obsessed with the idea of bridging the intimacy of viewing content on a personal phone and the sense of community and energy that comes with attending a large live music event. We owe a lot to Julio and his team for creating the atmosphere for such an endeavor. Congrats to everyone involved!

On February 5th, legendary Gospel singer and star of PBS' GOSPEL LIVE!, Erica Campbell, joined GMA3 to chat about her involvement in our extraordinary live-to-tape event that captured the spirit of Gospel music.

Honored to officially be a part of the PBS family, Mrs. Campbell took a moment to honor the network and its decision to highlight Gospel and its role in shaping and uplifting American culture.
