During her tenure, Michelle Scully was credited with reshaping how Twitch communicated with its global audience — from fans and streamers to journalists and creators. She played a key role in amplifying Twitch’s community-driven ethos while maintaining authenticity amidst its growing mainstream presence. Her leadership helped refine Twitch’s messaging at a time when digital culture and live-streaming were rapidly blending with traditional entertainment.
In a heartfelt message on LinkedIn, Scully described her time at Twitch as “the best job I’ve ever had,” expressing that leaving was a bittersweet decision. She said she felt grateful to have worked with such a passionate team and community that defines what makes Twitch unique. Though she didn’t specify her next move, her announcement has sparked curiosity across the tech and communications world about where she might head next.
Now, Twitch is searching for her successor — someone capable of carrying forward the foundation Scully built. The new Global Head of Communications will report to Chief Marketing Officer Rachel Delphin and can be based in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, or Irvine. The role will be crucial in guiding how Twitch presents itself across media — from traditional outlets and podcasts to online forums and real-time community discussions where internet culture thrives.
As Twitch continues to broaden its presence beyond gaming, this leadership change is being seen as a pivotal moment. The next communications leader will need to balance innovation with authenticity, ensuring Twitch’s voice stays true to its roots while continuing to evolve with the ever-expanding digital world.
