Good afternoon, CreatorFest Collective!

I'll keep this short and sweet.💋

After the conversation on professionalisation at CreatorFest, we're working on a State of the Creator Economy 2026 report centred around the same topic.

For it to be the most accurate, useful, and actionable resource possible, it needs your perspective.

Why Your 3 Minutes Are Essential

There are four surveys: for creators, brands, influencer marketing agencies and talent agencies. Each takes 3 minutes to complete at the most:

Brands

Talent Agencies

Influencer Marketing Agencies

Creators

We need to hear about life from every corner of the creator economy: your challenges with algorithms, your wins with community building, and your experience with burnout.

Your survey responses will directly influence the trends, data points, and recommendations highlighted in the final report, ensuring the conversation is centred on growth and professionalisation.

What’s In It For You?

  1. You’ll be entered into a draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher. A little boost for your next gear upgrade or creative project!
  2. You get early access to the report. This is the big one. While everyone else waits for the public release, you’ll get the final data first. This gives you a crucial competitive edge, allowing you to adapt your strategy, optimise your platform mix, and adjust your rates before the rest of the industry catches up.
  3. Collective members will have the opportunity to be featured in the report. We're all about sharing the views of our members, so you'll have the chance to have your quotes in our report.

All the best!
