Thousand Faces Club and Phyllo hosted UniCon, a virtual creator conference for universal creators, on the 18th and 19th of August, 2023. The event aimed to bring creators and brands under one roof to collectively discuss creator challenges and opportunities and discuss the future of the creator economy. This two-day event included keynotes, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities and boasted over 300+ registrations, 30+ industry experts, and 10+ sessions.
With the likes of Justin Moore, the Founder of Creator Wizard, Ismael El-Qudsi, the CEO of SocialPubli.com, Jennifer Quigley-Jones, the CEO of Digital Voices, and many more, UniCon delved into the very fabric of the digital creator universe.
UniCon included sessions like how to become a top 1% creator. It also cracked the code on reaching diverse audiences through multicultural influencer marketing, finding better creator-brand fitments, and possibilities with AI in influencer marketing.
“I truly believe that YouTube is the new Hollywood”, said Tyler Chou, CEO & Founder, Tyler Chou Law. “But unlike Hollywood, where there are so many gatekeepers about what gets to be made, (in the creator economy), you get to decide! I believe this huge market will grow 3x or 4x in the next 10 years.” she continued.
UniCon also witnessed the grand unveiling of a game-changing influencer marketing tool - insightIQ! This tool helps brands and marketers target the right audience demographic, unveil lookalike creators, and assess audience purchase intent. “insightIQ was built with one prime goal - do influencer marketing with ROI in mind,” says Aakash Mehta, Product Manager, insightIQ.
This two-day event proved to be an exhilarating journey where ideas sparked like fireworks and innovation danced in the spotlight. It's where connections were forged, dreams were kindled, and the future of the creator economy shone brighter than ever before.
“I believe talent is equally distributed. It’s the opportunities that are not. Most conferences and forums about the creator economy are gated today and demand a hefty fee. UniCon ‘23 intended to break the norm and share knowledge with anybody and everybody interested and invested in the creator economy and its future,” says Akhil Bhiwal, Founder & CEO, Phyllo.
