Inside The Week That Split The Creator Economy In Two

CANNES, FRANCE - JUNE 17: Atmosphere at Spotify Beach during Cannes Lions 2025 on June 17, 2025 in ... More Cannes, France. (Photo byfor Spotify) Last week, the creator economy faced a pivotal moment, not because of a new algorithm, platform or monetization model, but because of a calendar clash. Cannes Lions and VidCon, now under the same parent company, unfolded during the same week for the second time in three years. And while they were meant to celebrate creativity in all forms, what they revealed instead was a growing split in the industry itself. As creators increasingly move from the margins to the center of brand strategy, this week underscored a truth that marketers and media can no longer ignore: creators are no longer the next big thing - they are the thing. A Split Screen for the Creator Economy Cannes Lions has long been the playground of legacy brands, creative agencies and media powerhouses. This year, it leaned further into its identity as the pinnacle of polished, brand-driven storytelling. VidCon, on the other hand, remained a grassroots, creator-first gathering defined by high energy, direct fan engagement and chaotic innovation. While both events celebrated creators, the paths they charted for the future of influence diverged significantly. Who Went Where and Why The overlapping schedule highlighted a strategic fork in the road. Creators and companies had to choose: high-concept panels and yacht-side brainstorms at Cannes, or poolside networking and creator-led activations at VidCon. Only a select few managed to brave the jet lag and bridge both worlds. For creators whose brand partnerships, agency ties, or corporate sponsors aligned more with global campaigns and marketing strategy, Cannes was the natural fit. These individuals were drawn by the opportunity to sit alongside CMOs, speak on main stages and get facetime with the biggest names in advertising and tech. Creators making waves on connected TV or pioneering AI integrations had a strong presence here. Meanwhile, creators focused on building community, testing new monetization tools, and cultivating their audience relationships were more likely to choose VidCon. The Anaheim event provided a space for emerging and mid-tier creators to engage deeply with fans, discover new tech platforms and make IRL connections that rarely happen online. VidCon also served as a proving ground for innovation at the grassroots level. This divide not only exposed the contrasting nature of the two events but also underscored the broader segmentation within the creator economy itself: scale vs. intimacy, polish vs. presence, spectacle vs. spontaneity. VidCon Demonstrated The Chaos of Creativity VidCon 2025 saw a shift in tone under new leadership. Gone was the Creator Hotel, and in its place, creators spilled across Anaheim's Marriott and surrounding venues. The unstructured setting led to organic conversations, spontaneous collaborations and authentic relationship building. One standout was Viewws' Dink + Smash pickleball activation, which perfectly captured the event's ethos: creator-first, participatory and wildly engaging. Among the creators making waves were Dhar Mann and VidCon co-founder Hank Green, both of whom exemplified the event's commitment to accessible, grassroots creativity. Creators engaged with fans, brands and each other on a human level. Yet, despite these strengths, there were murmurs that VidCon's influence may be waning in some circles, with fewer brand booths and less corporate luster. Cannes Was The Theatre of Brand Power Meanwhile, Cannes Lions delivered its usual spectacle. From AI-driven installations to glittering panels on future creativity, it was a showcase of brand investment and storytelling prowess. What stood out in 2025 was the increasing role of creators as core participants. Notable figures like Amelia Dimoldenberg, Steven Bartlett and Grace Beverly brought sharp cultural insight and strategic depth to panels and conversations, cementing their roles as vital players in brand storytelling. YouTube's 20th anniversary celebration exemplified this shift, with creators headlining discussions on format innovation, fandom culture and AI-powered content. AI was the buzzword of the week, but the most resonant message was about synergy: human creativity amplified by technology. Panels underscored that brands succeeding today are those embracing authenticity and building trust through creator-led narratives. Two Sides of the Same Coin Despite the differences, both events showcased the critical role creators now play. VidCon focused on the day-to-day realities of creators: monetization, burnout and business strategy. Cannes emphasized creators as cultural architects, capable of steering brand identity and global conversation. VidCon offered lessons in community and hustle; Cannes in vision and scale. Together, they painted a picture of an economy maturing into two distinct but complementary modes: one rooted in connection, the other in prestige. What This Means for the Industry Across both Cannes and VidCon, creators shaped the themes, challenged norms and drove engagement in ways no other stakeholder group could match. Their influence is no longer limited to follower counts or short-form content; they are shaping business models, cultural narratives and future media formats. The rise of creators as thought leaders, collaborators and innovators means that future industry conversations, whether they take place on yachts or in convention halls, will be incomplete without them.

Nintendo's Secret for the Switch 2? Ignore the Extremely Online

Online, gamers declared the Switch 2 'anti-consumer.' In reality, no one cared. With Nintendo Co. charging $450 for its new device — and up to $80 for some games — influencers and TikTokers took to their accounts to warn it was too expensive. Across social media, others decried how new terms of service gave the Japanese firm the ability to remotely disable the latest machine if they detected unauthorized activity. Many games sold in physical packages were, they complained, glorified download codes.

In Paris, MAD Honors Paul Poiret, 'the First Art Director in the History of Fashion'

On Tuesday night in Paris, MAD—as Paris's museum of decorative arts is now known—inaugurated 'Paul Poiret: Fashion is a Feast,' the first-ever dedicated exhibition about the couturier best remembered for freeing women from corsets. Poiret learned about couture at the house of Worth, the subject of another exhibition over at the Petit Palais. Once he struck out on his own, he became the original multi-hyphenate couturier. Poiret dabbled in music, painting, acting, and restaurants. He was the first to scout out and support promising talents, initiate collaborations with artist friends like Paul Iribe and Raoul Dufy, and launch a perfume line, which he named after his daughter, Rosine. Inspired by the Ballet Russes, he drew from across the arts for his fashion. Soon, he reached the pinnacle of fame as fashion's first all-powerful creative director and social arbiter. 'With the coming of Paul Poiret, fashion changed completely,' Christian Dior wrote in his autobiography, Christian Dior and I, published in 1957. 'Paris in 1912 was like a harem, with Paul Poiret as the powerful but kindly sultan.' At MAD, some 550 works span his couture creations, accessories, costume jewelry, images of famous clients like Peggy Guggenheim (shot in Poiret by Man Ray), and fine and decorative arts. But it's the dialogue with contemporary high fashion—from Dior himself to present-day—that attests to Poiret's reach.
