    1. Dec 30, 2025Called it.
      We’re also expecting, you know, some big M&A this year and more… So, I think [it’s a] big year for M&A and I think it’s also going to be a big year for these hybrid business models.

      Independent analyses confirm the rise of professionalized, diversified 'hybrid' creator business models. Consolidation and M&A activity were also notable in the creator economy in 2026, validating the 'big year' prediction.

    2. Dec 30, 2025Partially right.
      I think there’s a big chance that static content could start to make a comeback in 2026.

      By mid-2026, text and image-based formats did re-emerge as a way for creators to stand out and reduce production costs, with platforms emphasizing these alongside video. The 'comeback' was moderate but directionally correct.

    3. Oct 14, 2025Called it.
      I think we’re going to continue to see more investment coming into influencer marketing... I still think there’s a lot to be worked out. But overall, I think the sentiment toward influencer marketing will remain strong and the dollars will continue to follow.

      Influencer marketing investment and sentiment remained strong through 2024-2025 and into 2026, with continued budget increases and maturation of the category, leading to a focus on performance and measurement. This aligns with the prediction.
