Everyone sees a different part of the same picture.
Brands create opportunity. Platforms enable distribution. Creators inspire action.
All three are building the industry, but they don’t spend enough time together outside stages, panels and conferences with thousands of people watching.
Those are not exactly the ideal conditions for candid conversations, debate and meaningful connections. That is what Forward is for.
Why Forward
for·ward
[fawr-werd]:verb
You see something good and you forward it. Not to everyone, just to a handful of people whose opinion you genuinely value.
That is the idea: the right people, in one place, sharing what matters.
Dinners, roundtables, closed briefings and one-off experiences, the network around them, access to sporting events, members’ merchandise, and more to come.
Hear what’s coming before it becomes obvious. Share an idea with the person who can act on it.
This is where the creator economy comes together to shape what happens next
The brands.
They create the opportunity, and decide where the industry’s money goes next.
The creators.
They make the work that moves people, and inspire the action that follows.
The platforms.
They carry the work to an audience, and set how distribution works.
