It’s time to shine the light back onto content creators. Talking Influence is passionate about shedding the light on the excellent work that takes place in every avenue of the creator economy.
With the Influencer Marketing Awards celebrating teams and agencies behind outstanding campaigns, the Content Creator Awards has been introduced to celebrate the individuals who aim to entertain, inspire and elevate the creator sphere – the ones who make these campaigns possible.
“As the industry evolves, so does the expertise of those at the heart of it – creators. The level of craft, innovation, and skill we are now seeing is mind-blowing and I’m so excited that we are starting to recognise it!” Becky Owen, Branded Content EMEA at Facebook
The team behind the first edition of the CCAs has been researching and discussing with industry professionals and content creation enthusiasts about the areas of the creator sphere that deserve to be highlighted and rewarded. The final list of categories will focus on areas such as the strength of the industry, creativity, and skill, and highlighting the best in class use of popular social platforms.
