A content creator produces original material for digital channels, including videos, photographs, articles, podcasts and social media posts (a specific category is the UGC creator).
Their value comes primarily from their creative skills, communication style and ability to produce content suited to a specific audience or platform.
Unlike traditional influencers, content creators do not necessarily need a large personal following because the brand may publish the finished assets through its own channels.
However, the same person can act as both creator and influencer when they produce content and distribute it to their audience.
