Our Mission
Chicago has fewer major influencers and content creators than a city like LA, NY, or SF. Everyone looks at that fact and writes us off as a city that can never become a true creator hub. We disagree. We believe that even if we have fewer influencers & content creators we can build a central network of resources, relationships, and opportunities for serious content creators in our city; a watering hole for creators, of sorts.
The tight connections of an organization like this can make up for our lack of a large quantity of influencers and provide the same level of creator activity and infrastructure to support a legitimate creator hub. But this watering hole must be exclusively for influencers & content creators who are legit and already established. There are many communities for creatives in Chicago. However, there are no communities solely for established influencers & creators. That is the void that we seek to fill.
