Levi shares why the creator economy is at a turning point. Audiences are fatigued. Social platforms are maturing. Now, creators are taking ownership. This will fundamentally change e-commerce, and those who recognize it early will shape the future. Levi Lomey is a founder, connector, and community builder. With over a decade in the creator economy, he’s focused on helping creators own their audience and answer the “What’s next?” question. He runs a private community designed to foster organic connections between top talent through brand-led experiences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
