The Price of Influence in a Platform World
In an era where algorithms amplify some voices and overlook others, creativity is both enabled and constrained. This session looks at these shifts from inside the industry. That is, how platform ecosystems are evolving, the new pressures and possibilities shaping content creation, and the trade-offs brands and creators face in an AI-driven environment. Participants will come away with a better understanding of how human imagination continues to influence culture and drive growth despite technological and structural limits, and how creators, brands, and platforms can work together to build a healthier and more sustainable creative ecosystem.
