With over 106,000 influencers on TikTok alone, spanning various niches from comedy to fashion, the Creator Economy is currently valued at $250 billion, projected to double in five years, according to Goldman Sachs. This remarkable growth is driven by creators redefining how they generate income and create content, embracing their independence from traditional platforms.

In this enlightening roundtable discussion, our esteemed panellists explored the profound implications of this shift. They discussed how creators are transforming into entrepreneurs, the growing importance of community building, revenue diversification, and more.
