Session Replay The Evolution of the Creator Economy: Fireside chat with Meta
Summary:
We know that creators drive culture by providing entertainment, education, and inspiration to their communities. But the way we think about creators is changing. CreatorIQ’s Tim Sovay sits down with Meta’s Jackie Pimentel to discuss how today's creators are defying the original classification of the ‘influencer’ to innovate, create, and monetize in myriad new ways. They explore how advertisers are also tapping into the power of creators, with nearly $26B spent on creator marketing in 2022 alone, and creator marketing spend now outpacing social ad spending. Next, the pair unpacked the evolution of short-form video and emphasized the importance of partnership ads in amplifying creator content. Jackie shared insights into the launch and growth of Threads, Meta's latest app, and discussed efforts to support and build communities on the platform.
