International Creator Day occurs on April 23 and is a global initiative honouring the significant impact social media content creators have had on the lives of people around the globe. Over half of the world’s population uses social media, and 500 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube every minute for an eager audience. Today is an essential day to acknowledge the creators who make all of this possible.
The background of International Creator’s Day
International Creator Day was established to demonstrate appreciation and raise awareness of the global power and influence of content creators. In our highly interconnected global community, content creators are rapidly becoming digital oases where people congregate to learn, develop, and feel connected to a community or message they cannot access in their geographical location.
With the rise of digital content that can be monetized, content creation has evolved over the course of the last few centuries. However, the ultimate objective, which is to generate interest in a product in order to sell it, remains unchanged. Creators of content play a crucial role in establishing online digital communities; content must be appropriate, pertinent, and have measurable outcomes to qualify an audience and maximise potential revenue.
In the 1700s, Benjamin Franklin wrote “Poor Richard’s Almanack” to advertise his printing business; this is considered the first instance of real content creation that can be linked to the content that individuals and businesses publish or post today. In the mid-2000s, the rise of social media platforms and the subsequent global adoption of multiple digital platforms took root internationally. Since then, interest and applications have skyrocketed, with billions of users utilising these apps, as most platforms begin to integrate while maintaining their autonomy. The global community is spoiled for choice when it comes to following and discovering original content creators whose narratives align with their individual requirements. International content creators are here to stay, and despite the diversity of their impact on society, they are making an impact and deserve credit for their contribution.
