Smosh is joining forces with Rooster Teeth.
The digital brand (recently bought from Rhett & Link by co-founders Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla) is joining Rooster Teeth’s podcast network The Roost, and will also have a “huge presence” at this year’s annual Rooster Teeth convention, RTX.
A representative tells Tubefilter The Roost will oversee brand deals for Smosh’s flagship podcast, SmoshCast, hosted by longtime cast members Shayne Topp and Amanda Lehan-Canto.
As for RTX, this year’s convention, running July 7-9 in Austin, will be the grand finale of Rooster Teeth’s 20th anniversary celebration. The digital media company already spruced up its branding with a new logo and tagline, and has been running a 20-week campaign digging through the RT archive to repost “deep cuts, one-off episodes and fan favorites” each week.
Smosh’s part in the celebration will bring Topp, Lehan-Canto, and fellow cast member Courtney Miller
to RTX for the full weekend. They plan to do a meet-and-greet, a live episode of SmoshCast, a head-to-head Don’t Make a Scene competition vs the Rooster Teeth cast, and will participate in Saturday’s Comedy Night.You can see their complete schedule below (with descriptions from RTX). Tickets for the convention are still available and run from $55 for basic admission up to $1,500 for an “Ultra Badge” that includes meet-and-greets and autographs.
