Lowe's Teams Up With MrBeast: Will YouTuber's Fans Buy Backyard Obstacle Courses, Creator Tools?

Home improvement retailer Lowe's Companies Inc (NYSE:LOW) has partnered with content creator MrBeast, who is the most followed person on YouTube.

Here are the details.

What Happened: With over 400 million subscribers on YouTube and a hit reality television series on Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)- owned Prime Video, MrBeast has a wide audience of fans.

Retailer Lowe's is hoping to tap into that fan base and turn some of the fans into customers.

Lowe’s announced a partnership with MrBeast and the launch of the first Home Improvement Creator Network, which will include the YouTube star as the first member.

"Build to support creators of all sizes, the Lowe's Creator Network helps creators share project-driven stories that build affinity for their own brands and for Lowe's," the company said.
