Closing out 2023, and kicking off 2024 strong

Hey! Welcome to the Creator Economy NYC newsletter — the premier place for all things creator economy in the Big Apple.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and felt the love. I needed all day yesterday to digest, so that’s why I’m sending the newsletter out today.
This week’s send is a short one to spotlight some upcoming events and wish our brilliant community of creators, founders, operators, investors and reporters a very happy new year.
I'm filled with pride reflecting on this year's remarkable achievements within our community.
The dedication, creativity, and relentless energy you've poured into your work have not only propelled your individual successes but have significantly elevated the entire creator economy here in NYC. That’s a win for us all.
Here's to another year of shaping the future of the creator economy together in the Big Apple 🤝

CITY HAPPENINGS
Kicking off 2024 with purpose
We’re hosting an epic community service event on Monday, Jan 15 (MLK Day) to give back to our city — our first event of the year and our first annual Day of Community, Connection, and Impact.
Come join fellow leading creators and builders as we pack "Better Boxes," each brimming with over $250 worth of nutritious and premium groceries packed for those in need in NYC. We know those brands! 👇
After packing together, we’ll wrap the day up with a celebratory dinner and drinks with beautiful views (located in Industry City, BK). It’s gonna be a blast.
Step away from work to come and socialize and make a difference in our community with fellow NYC creators and builders (feel free to share this event with friends, family and teammates).
Sponsors TBA! If you’re interested in sponsoring this event, we have room for 2 more, so please reach out here to get involved. Sponsoring this event will go a long way in helping our community, as well as be a tax-deductible donation and community service hours!
