We are then joined by Victor Bengtsson, Head of Content for creator collective The Sidemen, to explore what the rise of the creator economy means for the sports industry and sports content. Last (but certainly not least) we have Tim Edwards, who looks after athlete partnerships at TikTok, offering a glimpse into how the platform is helping athletes become creators, where the crossovers are between sport and the online creator community and helping to explain how and where brands can get involved in a credible way.To watch the broadcast in video, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/posts/leaders-executive-sport-ltd-_leaders-live-the-creator-economy-and-how-activity-6988860397030113280-ulRM?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
