That's something you might want to look at carefully. Tubefilter, citing Digiday, reports that the $100 million rests on pledges from CMOs Mann won't name. They aren't signed deals. They could be mates in the pub; they could be anything. So while it's a fantastic headline, and if it's true it bodes well for the creator economy, I'd like to see some of it in writing, or actually happening, before I open the champagne.

Creator City, a four-acre Los Angeles campus with five soundstages due to open in February 2027 according to Tubefilter, could be useful for LA-based teams. The report doesn't say who gets access or what it costs. Ask both before planning around it.
