NEW YORK (June 22, 2026) – Forbes today announced the launch of Forbes Creator, a new social-first network designed to deliver trusted, premium content and in-depth storytelling across Forbes’ owned digital platforms.

Built around creators, entrepreneurs, industry leaders and subject matter experts, Forbes Creator will produce original content and develop IP spanning social media, video, podcasts and live experiences, extending Forbes’ legacy of authoritative journalism into the creator era. As part of these efforts, Forbes Creator will launch Creator Correspondents, a new live-event reporting program slated to kick off at Forbes’ Power Women’s Summit in September, providing unprecedented access to the Forbes Live event ecosystem and bringing those stories to new audiences.

“By bringing together trusted industry experts and influential creators, the Forbes Creator Network extends Forbes' mission to inform and connect audiences wherever they discover ideas and shape conversations,” said Sherry Phillips, Chief Executive Officer, Forbes. “The result is a powerful environment for brands to engage consumers through the voices they trust most, combining the credibility of Forbes with the reach, relevance and cultural influence of today's creator economy.”

Forbes Creators are selected for their content expertise, credibility and cultural influence, reflecting Forbes’ commitment to pairing trusted authority with creator-driven storytelling. The network will deliver content that helps audiences navigate the future of work, entrepreneurship, AI and technology, sports and culture, and more, through the lens of creators shaping those conversations in real time.

The network launches with an inaugural roster of creators spanning careers, entrepreneurship, technology and culture. Among them is Sho Dewan, founder and CEO of Workhap, whose career-focused content reaches nearly two million followers across social platforms. Dewan recently debuted The Work Hotline, a Forbes Creator podcast delivering actionable workplace advice and career insights. Erin McGoff, founder of AdviceWithErin and New York Times bestselling author, whose career advice content reaches more than seven million followers globally, Griffin Johnson, an entrepreneur and creator whose content focuses on his sports-related ventures and lifestyle, reaching a combined audience of nearly 15 million followers, Joe Fenti, a stand-up comedian and creator known for his humorous take on corporate culture and modern work life, Shira Lazar, an Emmy-nominated digital culture and technology expert with over one million followers across platforms, and Jenny Stojkovic, an influential voice in technology, AI, and wealth, known for making complex innovation trends accessible and engaging for broad audiences.

“Forbes has always been at the intersection of business, culture, and innovation, which is why joining the Forbes Creator Network was such a natural fit,” said Griffin Johnson, an entrepreneur and creator. “My journey has evolved from social media into entrepreneurship, with investments spanning venture capital and horse racing.”

Forbes’ head of Video, Tim Pierson expands his role, overseeing this new off-platform group that encompasses creator content. Chloe Moore has been appointed as Vice President, Forbes Creator Network. In her new role, she will oversee creator partnerships, talent strategy and network growth.

“The creator economy has fundamentally changed how audiences discover information, build trust and engage with ideas,” said Chloe Moore, Vice President, Forbes Creator Network. “Forbes Creator allows us to combine the authority and credibility that Forbes is known for with the authenticity, accessibility and community that creators have built with their audiences. Together, we're creating a new model for premium, social-first storytelling.”
