The creator economy is projected to reach $43 billion in ad spend this year. But a recent survey found that nearly half of creators make less than $10,000 a year. So where is all the money actually going?

In this episode, Colin and Samir break down the economics behind the creator economy — and why so much of the money is concentrating at the top. As major brands shift billions of dollars toward creators, they’re increasingly partnering with a small number of highly organized creators who can deliver large, multi-platform campaigns.

We explore:

  • Why the creator economy is becoming winner-take-most

  • How Fortune 500 brands are reshaping creator partnerships

  • Why creators with teams and infrastructure are landing the biggest deals

  • What smaller creators need to do to compete for brand dollars
