Creator Stage

Brands want to work with independents. So why do so many deals never happen? This panel brings together leaders from some of the most commercially successful independent networks — including Crooked Media, Vois, and AdLarge — to give indie creators a direct line to what buyers actually need. From building a pitch that converts, to ad load standards, attribution and pixel basics, sales operations, and how to structure ongoing brand relationships, this is the monetization masterclass the independent community has been asking for. Think less panel, more publisher university — interactive, practical, and built around aligning creators with real buyer expectations.
