The creator economy's continued growth is fueled by the rise of influencer collectives. These groups of creators collaborate to achieve greater impact than they could individually, offering brands access to diverse skills, wider audiences, and authentic storytelling. Maayan Sarig, Head of Communications and Partnerships at Meta Israel, emphasizes the impact of creators on brand trust, stating, “Partnering with creators has become essential for brands.
