As top creators turn into celebrities commanding six-figure brand deals, a growing middle tier of creators is building sustainable businesses. These creators — often niche experts, educators, or hobbyists turned entrepreneurs — are monetizing audiences through a mix of newsletters, courses, digital products and smaller sponsorships.

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW

• Sponsored Wifi is an effective way to reach consumers before a large event and enable retargeting. By presenting an ad and redirecting users to an advertiser’s site, retargeting can occur post-event to keep up momentum. Partner insights from Viasat Ads.
• Audience strategy has historically focused on reaching predefined consumer segments based on assumed traits.
