Creator Communities | Multicultural | Product-Driven | Digital Marketing

3 years ago, I launched the US Latinx Creatives 10-week incubator in collaboration with MACRO and UnbeliEVAble Entertainment to 150 creators and $500k of grants to the top ten creator pitches from the group 2 years ago, I created the US #CasaTikTok curriculum, program framework, and strategy for the year-round creator community serving <500 creators then grew the @casatiktok TikTok account to 174k followers 1 year ago, I drafted the North American Diverse Creator Community strategy for #BlackTikTok and #CasaTikTok introducing creator ambassadors, securing the NA creator team's first-ever co-branded event with The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. then again with a six-figure sponsorship through Match Group, and launched our first-ever open application that attracted +1300 creators into our programs scaling onboarding beyond what an individual community manager could handle Now, I oversee all four North American diverse creator communities, our newest #APITikTok (Asian Pacific Islander) and #PrideTikTok (LGBTQIA+) in addition to the relaunch of #BlackTikTok and #CasaTikTok engaging thousands of creators with the help of an external agency! The program has evolved and adapted over the years to develop the next generation of TikTok talent by giving them the educational resources, access to industry events & opportunities, and network to connect dots with fellow creators and TikTok experts to drive growth on platform. My favorite shift from past programs is the emphasis on how to turn one's passion a living and seeing creators as digital entrepreneurs building a business. I want our communities to get paid and advocate for top-dollar 💵 If you haven't already, today is the last day to apply into one of our four newest creator communities listed above, check out the application 👉 only available your mobile device while logged into TikTok (you cannot apply on behalf of someone else)

This looks like such a great opportunity. I am definitely interested. However, the link isn't working for me. Are you seeing an error, as well?

Can't wait to see all the content that comes out of this and get put on to even more amazing creators once they're announced! 💯
