With a 16% increase in social media marketing spend, creators are driving significant changes in consumer behavior and spending. “The need for content is at an all-time high right now, and creators have really become an important source of content for many brands. We're seeing this impact not only in affiliate marketing but also in areas like content licensing and boosting, which marketers are leaning into more heavily.” Check out this recent NAB Amplify article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g_aAzhqJ #CreatorEconomy #SocialMediaMarketing #ContentCreation #DigitalMarketing #AIIntegration

Article just out on MediaPost from a new agency that speaks exactly to the value proposition of (and why we built) #ThecePlay. Here is our favorite quote: "Modern creative brands must navigate at the pace of culture, anchoring their brand experience around the largest growing audience: Gen Z," said Karan Dang. "Gen Z defies a singular mold. They are multi-dimensional. Rather than bombarding them with ads, we should strive to cultivate authentic relationships through experiences and formats that resonate with their lifestyle, found on social platforms, gaming realms and experiential engagements." https://lnkd.in/gE35F4Ew
