In this episode of Influencing Outcomes, Nathan Powell, Ben Gunn and Eliza Lewis explore how creators are reshaping the way live sport is covered, experienced and commercialised, from the Australian Open through to the World Cup and the Super Bowl.

They unpack why creators are now being treated more like media partners than guests, how this shift is changing the on ground experience at major events, and what it means for brands looking to show up in sport in more cultural and lifestyle led ways. The conversation looks at how creators are extending the life of live moments well beyond the broadcast, and why this is opening the door for new categories and new audiences.

The team also discusses the launch of Fabulate’s Fab 100, a data led list built from close to a million searches, profile views and shortlists, revealing the creators brands consistently returned to in 2025. They break down what stood out, from the rise of mid tier creators to the growing importance of reliability, audience relevance and professionalism over raw scale.

Nathan then shares insights from the TikTok Partner Summit in Singapore, including why TikTok search is becoming impossible for brands to ignore, what branded search hubs mean for discovery, and what’s coming next for TikTok Shop and live commerce.

This episode is designed for marketers, agencies and creators who want to understand where creator marketing is heading next, and how sport, platforms and data are reshaping the way influence actually works.
