101 - Avi Gandhi, Creator Logic

Earned: Unlocking the Power of the Creator Economy

In Ep. 101 of Earned, we sit down with Avi Gandhi—prolific LinkedIn creator and Founder of the creator economy’s hit newsletter Creator Logic. To start, we dive into Avi’s vast experience building and leading creator-facing teams. Avi reveals that after 15 years of working in the creator economy, he’s worn nearly every possible hat. This experience led him to start his educational, data-backed newsletter Creator Logic, which helps bridge the gap between creators and brands. Together we unpack the future of the creator economy, and Avi shares his predictions for what’s next in terms of social networks, systemic shifts, and business models. Avi touches on the mistakes made by “outsiders” of the industry, and explains how 2020 was a learning period for everyone as the idea of creator-led marketing came to the forefront of consumer strategy. We explore the differences between reaching creators and consumers, and Avi shares that no matter these differences, the need is the same: to connect with people. To close the show, Avi reveals how he built up his (fast-growing) LinkedIn following, before leaving us with a few pieces of insightful advice for success in an ever-changing social world.
