About us

Building real-world skills in media, entrepreneurship and digital strategy through a first-of-its kind academic initiative. Syracuse University has launched the Center for the Creator Economy, the first academic center of its kind on a U.S. college campus. A joint venture between the Martin J. Whitman School of Management and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, the center will reinforce Syracuse University’s commitment to bold, forward-looking academic leadership. By aligning strengths in entrepreneurship, media, communications, athletics and digital infrastructure, the University is charting how higher education can prepare students for the 21st-century economy. What is the Center for the Creator Economy? Powered by a new class of content creators, from podcasters and streamers to influencers and digital artists, the creator economy is reshaping how ideas, products and services are marketed and monetized. Platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Substack and Twitch now serve as engines of commerce and influence. The Center will serve as a dynamic platform for: • Teaching and learning: Undergraduate and graduate courses in creative content, audience engagement and digital strategy. • Workshops and executive education: Experiential opportunities for students and professionals, from personal branding to influencer law. • Speaker series and showcases: A stage for creators, social media executives and digital entrepreneurs. • On-campus incubators and makerspaces: Mentorship and funding for student ventures. • Research and thought leadership: Sponsoring and publishing research on creator economy trends. • College athletics: Partnering with Syracuse University Athletics and the Falk College of Sport to help student-athletes and the University compete in the changing athletics landscape.
