Brands As Creators
Celebrating the campaign that best demonstrates brands behaving like creators, using YouTube creator marketing formats that tap into consumer trends and growing communities.
We aren’t just looking for channels with brand-heavy video ads — we’re looking for brands that can show us they’re part of our ongoing platform story. Brands that release regular content that gives our audiences value, entertainment, inspiration, or information; exactly the way a creator would.
