  • After a turbulent period of irrational exuberance followed by skepticism, creator economy M&A activity is forecast to accelerate significantly in 2025.

The article by Ian Shepherd on Forbes, published on January 15, 2025, discusses the anticipated surge in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the creator economy. It highlights that after an initial growth phase, the creator economy is entering its second growth cycle, driven by increased interest from investors and established companies looking to capitalize on the expanding digital content market. The piece forecasts a significant uptick in M&A activities as platforms, tools, and services that support creators become prime targets for acquisition. This trend is fueled by the need for companies to scale quickly, enhance their technological capabilities, and capture a larger share of the market. The article also notes that this cycle is characterized by a more mature understanding of the creator economy's value, leading to strategic investments and partnerships aimed at long-term growth and sustainability.
