"Building direct, equitable relationships between creator and brand is the driving force for Assembly for Black Creators," said Bonin Bough, Triller's Chief Growth Officer, who has led the initiative for Triller. "With our innovative 'Monetization Village,' Black creators will work with best-in-class brands to gain a more substantial foothold in the ever-evolving digital marketing space. We're fostering greater racial equity across media, and by bringing together creators and advertisers in a dynamic and supportive environment we will enhance opportunities for everyone."
"We started this effort with a deep appreciation of the huge impact Black Creators have had on culture and content around the world. With this series, we are catalyzing the need for brands, agencies and media properties to invest in Black creators and media owners," said Mahi de Silva, CEO of TrillerNet, parent company to Triller, Verzuz, Amplify.ai and other media brands. "Events like the Assembly for Black Creators are essential for pushing important industry-wide change, as it is scalable and repeatable, deploys spend directly to individuals and brands, and helps create a thriving ecosystem of media, bolstered by education, tools and support."
Assembly for Black Creators will take place October 20, November 10 and December 3, culminating in the Black Creator Conference in 2022. Leading Black-owned, Atlanta-based influencer house The Collab Crib is an advisor and curator. The first day-long event on October 20 will kick off with keynote addresses by music icons Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, founders of the ground-breaking Verzuz "artist battle" livestream platform, as well as remarks from celebrated rapper-singer-producer Quavo.
