Partner with Culture-Shaping Voices. Own the Moment. Drive Measurable Results.

X today announced Creator Connect, a new AI-powered solution that intelligently matches brands with the ideal creators on the platform for their specific campaign goals. Creator Connect empowers brands to instantly tap into culture-defining voices, reach the right audiences, and deliver meaningful results. This launch is part of Xโ€™s ongoing creator focus this year, designed to unlock greater opportunities for both brands and creators.

With Creator Connect, X uses xAI tooling to suggest the most impactful creators on the platform based on a clientโ€™s campaign objectives, audience interest, and real-time trends. X manages the entire process, from creator discovery and outreach to content creation and distribution, ensuring brands maintain control with approvals at every stage.

โ€œWeโ€™re entering our creator era at X, and are dedicated to building a healthy, sustainable creator economy,โ€ said Mitchell Smith, Global Head of Content Partnerships at X. โ€œThis has been fueled by the great organic work that our product team has been facilitating, which now gives us the credibility to have a commercial offering to match creators with brands.โ€

As part of Xโ€™s Year of the Creator initiatives, the platform recently rolled out a comprehensive suite of new offerings to help creators grow faster, earn more, and build sustainable businesses. This included the launch of Creator Subscriptions 2.0, a major upgrade designed to help creators build and monetize deeper relationships with their most engaged fans through new features like Exclusive Threads. X has also doubled revenue sharing for creators.

โ€œCreator Connect uses advanced AI technology to redefine how brands source creators to authentically engage with consumers, and create even more impact on X,โ€ said Monique Pintarelli, Head of Global Advertising, xAI. โ€œWhen you pair that with our real-time super power, and the iconic cultural moments that unfold on platform, it unlocks a unique opportunity for our clients. The kind of opportunity that can only happen on X.โ€
