How Gifted connected industry leaders with Billion Dollar Boy and the DCA
The Digital Creator Association, in partnership with Billion Dollar Boy, approached Gifted to help bring their vision for a standout event to life. Their goal was to create an engaging space where creators could network authentically and participate in meaningful discussions about monetization in the creator economy.
The event featured a dynamic panel with industry leaders such as Phil Hughes (DCA founder and partner at Lewis Silkin), Dominic Smales (Gleam Futures and Glo Motion Studios founder), Amy Bryant-Jefferies (Managing Director at Outreach Talent Group), and Beatrice Mustoca (Top Creator & Public Figure Partnerships + Strategy at TikTok). The panel explored monetization strategies and opportunities for creators, offering valuable insights to all attendees.
Adding to the event’s unique charm, a townhouse-style discussion facilitated vibrant audience interaction. Contributors included Lily Pebbles (DCA Creator Board Member and Digital Content Creator), Lucy Edwards (DCA Creator Board Member, Creator, and Disability Activist), and Georgette Olaiya (DCA Trade Board Member and Talent Management Director at The Corner). Attendees actively engaged by asking questions, sharing ideas, and deepening the conversation, creating a truly collaborative and inspiring atmosphere.
One of the event’s key objectives was to increase exposure for DCA’s services while fostering genuine connections among creators. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive—attendees loved the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and left excited for future DCA events.
The event was hosted at FiveTwoNine, Billion Dollar Boy’s recently launched members’ space. With its bright, airy design and expansive windows, the venue provided the perfect backdrop for the day, accommodating both the vibrant discussions and the creative visuals captured by our photographer and photobooth.
Gifted managed every aspect of the event, ensuring every detail was thoughtfully executed. From the essentials, like hiring photographers, photobooths, and catering, to the finer details that made the day feel seamless and special, including:
• Curating drink integrations featuring popular Gifted partners like Ojo De Dios Mezcal, Pentire (a non-alcoholic beverage), and Bun Dat Bakery.
• Managing bar and waiting staff, glassware hire, and creating custom-designed food and drink menus.
• Overseeing guest list management and designing branded contact cards for attendees.
The event brought together over 70 Gifted influencers, generating buzz, strengthening community ties, and delivering on all goals for the DCA and Billion Dollar Boy. Both partners were thrilled with the outcome, sharing glowing testimonials about the day’s success.
This collaboration highlights Gifted’s ability to create seamless, memorable events that not only deliver results but also leave a lasting impact on attendees.
