Content creation for social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook is a crucial part of the creative economy. Yet despite the low barriers to entry, creators still struggle to break into the sector, while broadcasters constantly try to keep up with new technological trends and revenue streams. Speakers from screen industry and digital platform companies came together with content creators and current academics in the field for a series of panels exploring business models, production challenges, monetisation, skills, training, career pathways, and working conditions. Together we asked, What new skills and training are needed to facilitate career progression in content creation? How can industry stakeholders benefit from the creative potential of creators and ensure diversity and inclusivity in their industries? This was an opportunity to share business strategies, network with other industry stakeholders and creators and build a vibrant community of creators in the UK. This film was based on an event organised at the University of Huddersfield, UK. Written by Errol Salamon See less
