Milhouse’s early work has amassed over 3 million views and hundreds of thousands of engagements in just over a month, showing strong numbers on content from the start.
In the background, Milhouse is developing products which fit a gap in the gaming industry, products that are Good for Gamers. This ethos is what kickstarted Milhouse over a year ago, creating a multivitamin for gamers. Milhouse plans to launch their first capsule in Q2 in collaboration with creators in the gaming industry. Products will range from apparel to homewares, drinkware and more.
Milhouse aspires to be one of the best brands in gaming and feels that there is an opportunity in the space for a brand which isn’t just an esports team, endemic brand or agency.
