Forbes announced Monday the launch of “Forbes Creator,” a social-first network designed to deliver premium content and storytelling across Forbes’ digital platforms.
The target audience is creators, entrepreneurs, industry leaders and subject matter experts. “Forbes Creator” plans to produce original content and develop IP spanning social media, video, podcasts and live experiences.
Forbes will launch “creator correspondents,” a new live-event reporting program slated to kick off at Forbes’ Power Women’s Summit in September, providing access to the Forbes Live event ecosystem and bringing those stories to new audiences.
“By bringing together trusted industry experts and influential creators, the Forbes Creator Network extends Forbes’ mission to inform and connect audiences wherever they discover ideas and shape conversations,” said Forbes CEO Sherry Phillips in a statement. “The result is a powerful environment for brands to engage consumers through the voices they trust most, combining the credibility of Forbes with the reach, relevance and cultural influence of today’s creator economy.”
Forbes’ head of video Tim Pierson expands his role, overseeing this new group that encompasses creator content. Chloe Moore has been appointed as vice president, Forbes Creator Network. In her new role, she will oversee creator partnerships, talent strategy and network growth.
