Influencer marketing acquisitions surged during the pandemic (2020–2023) but declined sharply last year.

So far, 2025 has been noticeably busier, with 15 IM deals announced to date.

Across the broader creator economy, M&A activity has been even stronger, with 72 transactions closed through Oct. That's already surpassed 2024's annual total, so we expect a record 100+ creator economy acquisitions by year-end.

So why the temporary slowdown in IM acquisitions last year?

A few likely factors:
• A tougher macroeconomic environment and higher cost of capital post-ZIRP.
• Political and economic uncertainty during the 2024 election year.
• Buyers taking time to digest the flurry of deals from 2020 to 2023.

Interestingly, while U.S. influencer marketing deals declined sharply, European activity remained steady. And overall creator economy M&A still hit record highs in 2024 despite the IM slowdown.

It’s an exciting time for the influencer marketing space and the creator economy at large. The continued momentum around M&A dealmaking shows just how far the industry has come and how much opportunity still lies ahead for entrepreneurs, capital allocators, and creators.

Thank you Jasmine Enberg and Kaya Yurieff for highlighting our report! Their Scalable Pod newsletter is my go-to resource for staying up to date on the creator economy.

The New York Times is 'Legacy Media Adapting' at its best.

Their YouTube embraces how we 𝙣𝙤𝙬 consume news...

Facing facts?

➝ 33% of adults under 30 get their news from TikTok.
➝ 50% of Americans get their news from social media.

That’s Pew Research.

'Going to a website to read the news'? That's a 2010s, dying model.

Traffic to legacy newspaper websites, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, declined 20% in Q4 of 2022.

(That's the last quarter Pew has numbers for).

Nobody wants paywalled sites.
Everyone wants must-click YouTube videos.

YouTube is the new home for 'opinions on politics & culture'. The winners didn't get journalism degrees...

What are they doing correctly?

Mastering the art of...
Titles.
Thumbnails.
Video-lengths.
YouTube algo optimization.

Face facts: any journalist who doesn't adapt for creator platforms won't have a job in <10 years. 

Legacy institutions are competing with normal people who know content.
