What is the B2B creator economy? This new "ecosystem" has emerged and it seeks to benefit both creators and brands by creating mutually beneficial relationships. This company, Limelight, is just one example of the type of company emerging to help forge these relationships. First it helps brands identify B2B creators with significant followings for specific niches in business. Then on the creator side, it recommends brands looking for creators and allows them to book advertising across their channels. We're looking to see how this approach to business and creator relationships develops in the coming months. https://lnkd.in/e4X756vx #creatoreconomy #B2Bcreators #industrynews

It's great to see that metaverse games are still bringing in millions of players, and with the release of new VR technology on the market, we are no doubt going to see these numbers grow further. Behind the scenes, however, the future of the metaverse future still divides opinion. Many are still going back and forth on its definition - does it have to be a 3D environment, is it only navigable via an expensive headset and is the metaverse simply a generic term for a world which combines various modern technologies? Other questions have also arisen around standards and safeguarding. For example, which mechanisms for age verification should be implemented and how can we keep the metaverse safe, open and transparent? This Forbes piece covers the questions in more detail:?https://lnkd.in/eaW_hiNt #metaverse?#industrynews?#metaversegaming

TikTok has become a key part of the creator economy. Recently added features such as TikTok shop, its ecommerce initiative, allows creators to sell, market and buy products directly on the app. Some creators earn a large proportion of their income through this ecommerce feature - when followers make a purchase they get a cut of the sale. If TikTok were to be taken away, many creators would take a hit as their livelihoods now depend on these platforms. A number of creators are appealing to lawmakers to consider the benefits TikTok can have on the creator economy, particularly now the app has grown and matured and become a home for a diverse ecosystem of creators. https://lnkd.in/g-WE7xiy #creatoreconomy #TikTok #influencers
