Move Over, Hollywood: Fanvue’s Creator Roundtable Puts Creators Centre Stage

Fanvue launches “The Creator Roundtable,” a groundbreaking talk show celebrating creators: the new class of influence shaping the future of culture.

For decades, Hollywood has owned the conversation around creativity, influence, and fame. Directors and actors gathered around glossy tables to dissect their art, hosted by legacy media giants. But today, the power dynamic has flipped. Creators are no longer just internet personalities, they are out-earning and out-influencing traditional celebrity names.

That shift is exactly what inspired Fanvue, the fastest-growing platform in the Creator-AI economy, to launch The Creator Roundtable, a new YouTube talk show and podcast giving the floor to the people who are truly defining culture today: creators and the teams behind them.

A New Talk Show for Creators

“The Creator Roundtable” takes its cue from The Hollywood Reporter’s iconic roundtables, but replaces the A-list actors with the real architects of today’s digital world. Instead of studio scripts, it’s raw, real conversations focus on the creators building multi-million viewer communities, pioneering new forms of storytelling, and leveraging AI to supercharge their work.

“The creator economy is now worth more than Hollywood’s box office, and it’s powered by people with a camera, a laptop, new tooling and a relentless drive,” said Harry Fitzgerald, Fanvue Co-Founder. “We wanted to give them a stage that matches their impact. The Creator Roundtable is that stage.”

Episode One: “How Creators Win”

The first episode, now live on YouTube, dives straight into the grind behind the glamour: the work, consistency, and creativity that go into producing content for the world’s biggest names. The show is hosted by Jeff Nang, Music producer and creative behind campaigns for Disney, Universal, and Sony.

Episode 1 Guest Lineup:

Kashman Harris: 1st Assistant Director for global brands including Tommy Hilfiger x Mercedes F1, Epson, and Just Eat.

Will Brophy: Producer behind viral projects like Match 4 Hope, LADbible, and The Sidemen.

Jordan Taylor (NuJae): Videographer for Amazon Music’s +44 and the UK’s leading creators.

Across an hour of discussion, they break down the real workflow behind YouTube giants like KSI, Beta Squad, and The Sidemen, revealing what it takes to get your foot in the door, the difference between working hard and working smart, and where the next generation of creative power lies.

Each upcoming episode of The Creator Roundtable will explore core challenges of the modern creator’s journey, from AI and creativity to mental health and burnout, finding your niche, and the business of being a creator.

The series will live on YouTube, with clips and highlights distributed across TikTok, Instagram, and Fanvue’s own platform to reach creators wherever they are. The tone is honest and unfiltered, a window into the modern creator machine from those who build it every day.

Why Fanvue Built It

Fanvue was built for this exact moment, where creativity meets technology, and creators are entrepreneurs as much as entertainers. The company sits at the intersection of AI and the creator economy, helping talent in music, sport, fashion, and entertainment monetise their fanbases through AI-driven tools and fan engagement models.

By launching The Creator Roundtable, Fanvue is creating a cultural platform that celebrates and studies the creator profession as the serious, billion-dollar industry it has become.

Harry Fitzgerald, Fanvue Co-Founder, said: “We’re building something that recognises that global creator success is not a passing trend, but the new normal. The Creator Roundtable is about giving creators the same respect, platform, and depth of conversation that traditional media reserved for actors and directors.”

The show forms part of Fanvue’s wider mission to empower creators through technology, giving them tools to scale their output, manage their audiences, and turn influence into income, all while maintaining creative control.

Creators Are the New Celebrities

The timing couldn’t be better. According to recent industry reports, the global creator economy surpassed $250 billion in 2024, outpacing Hollywood’s combined theatrical box office revenue. Creators like MrBeast, Emma Chamberlain, and KSI rival – and often eclipse – traditional celebrities in reach and earnings. Brands now spend more on creator partnerships than they do on traditional celebrity endorsements. And it’s not just short-term earnings – the longevity of influence displayed by creators is often what fuels their success.

“KSI was the no1 most influential celebrity for teenagers in 2014/15… above The Rock and Beyonce in the Variety Poll. And the longevity of that first generation of Youtuber creators is super impressive,” said Will Brophy, a guest on the Creator Roundtable.

He continued: “How many celebrities that were hot 10 years ago do you think about now? It goes to show how hard (creators) work.”

But despite their influence, creators have often lacked a space that feels premium and a show that treats them as cultural thought leaders, not just social media entertainers. The Creator Roundtable changes that. Filmed in cinematic style with a minimalist set and intimate tone, it mirrors the aesthetic of classic industry conversations but swaps the film industry’s echo chamber for the creator class’s innovation.

Each episode brings together a small group of leading voices – creators, producers, editors, managers – to unpack a single theme: how creators build, scale, and sustain success in an industry that never sleeps.

A Platform Built By Creators, For Creators

Fanvue’s rise has mirrored the creator economy’s explosion. Built as a creator-first platform, it enables artists, athletes, and influencers to monetise their audiences in ways that go beyond subscriptions through AI tools, direct fan engagement, and smart content automation.

With the Creator Roundtable, Fanvue expands that mission into storytelling and community building, creating a hub where creators can learn from each other, discover trends, and connect with the minds shaping tomorrow’s creator-AI landscape.

Founded in the UK, Fanvue helps creators earn sustainably, own their audience, and thrive in the fast-evolving digital landscape. The Creator Roundtable is Fanvue’s latest initiative – a talk show and podcast spotlighting the voices, insights, and stories of creators shaping the future of culture.
