LATEST DEVELOPMENT

KBGF investment report reveals transformative technologies reshaping the creator economy landscape in 2025, with AI-driven tools and creator-owned platforms gaining momentum as alternatives to "big social" dependency.

INDUSTRY TALK

"Creators have emerged as a major GTM channel, particularly for D2C brands that may have previously relied on e-commerce platforms. And I don't see this changing any time soon. It's better for brands, better for influencers, and better for consumers – all of which imply long-lasting growth."

-Matt Connor, BGF Investor and Investor Director

DISCRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Key innovations include:

STRATEGIC PIVOTS

Industry shifts include:
