Creator Leaders Community

Membership is built around three things senior practitioners can't get anywhere else: intelligence, access, and status.

Executives Circle ($999/year) includes the four quarterly intelligence reports, two flagship Glasshouse dinners or four regional events per year, full access to the vetted private community, the Influencer Power Index data layer, member-only research drops, and the printed creator economy magazine delivered to your address.

Founders Circle ($2,400/year, by application) includes everything in Executives Circle, plus six-person mastermind cohorts, priority allocation at Glasshouse dinners, the annual Leaders Retreat, vetted-expert introductions, inbound leads sourced through the Agency and Platform Index, and thought leadership distribution across our editorial and event channels.

The free tier, The Briefing, gives you the newsletter, public IPI rankings, and the quarterly state-of-the-industry summary. No application, no payment.

Annual. Both tiers are a 12-month commitment.

You can pay the full year upfront, or you can split it across monthly payments for the same total. The monthly option exists to make activation easier, not to make exit easier. Either way, you are committing for a full year.

We built it this way because the value compounds over the calendar: the quarterly reports, the dinners, the retreat, the cohort cycles. Senior practitioners get the most out of the community when they engage across all four quarters, not the first one.

We do not offer refunds. Once you join Executives Circle or Founders Circle, the membership runs for the full 12 months regardless of how you chose to pay.

This is consistent with how the community is positioned. We invest in your seat the moment you join: report production, event capacity, cohort allocation, magazine print runs, and curation of intros. That investment is not reversible mid-cycle.

If you are uncertain whether this is the right environment for you, start with The Briefing. It is free, requires nothing, and gives you a real signal of the quality and tone of the work before you commit to a paid tier.

Influencer Strategists is built for senior operators in the creator economy: VPs, Directors, Heads of Marketing, and founders running brand-side influencer programs, agencies, platforms, and creator businesses.

Executives Circle is open to qualified practitioners who meet our seniority and category fit criteria. Founders Circle is application-only and is reserved for industry leaders and decision-makers who can both contribute to and benefit from a six-person mastermind format.

If you are early in your career, The Briefing is the right starting point. The paid tiers are deliberately not designed as learning environments. They are peer environments.

Yes. You can submit an application for Founders Circle at any point during your Executives Circle membership. If accepted, the difference in tier price is prorated against the remainder of your annual term, and your 12-month clock resets from the upgrade date.

Downgrades within an active term are not possible, since the commitment is annual. At renewal, you can choose to continue at the same tier, move down to The Briefing, or apply to move up.
