The State of Brand Deals in 2022 [Ep. #309]

Author: Tim Schmoyer April 18, 2022 Duration: 51:12
As the creator economy continues to grow, so do brand deals. But brand deals are different today than they were 5 years ago. How have they changed? What do brands look for now that's different than what they were looking for 5 years ago? Has the opportunity for creators to make money with brand deals grown with time or declined because of more competition?

Today D'Laina and I talk with Jonathan Katz, a YouTube lawyer in this industry who sees a lot of these deals coming across his desk all the time. He shares his perspective on how the state of brand deals on YouTube has evolved over the past 5 years to what it looks like now for us today.
