GEMA SESSION
From Audience to Army: Building Brands People Want to Belong To
With Ryan Johnson, Erin Ashley Simon and Emily Mei moderated by Bryanna Goecke, Chief Commercial Officer at 100 Thieves.
Consumers today are not simply looking for content, they are looking for connection, participation, and identity. The brands breaking through today are the ones creating genuine connection, participation, and cultural belonging around their audiences.

This conversation explores how gaming, creators, entertainment, and digital culture are reshaping modern fandom through authenticity, participation, and emotional connection. Panelists will discuss why community matters more than raw audience size, how creators influence loyalty and purchasing behavior, and what industries outside gaming can learn from the highly engaged ecosystems forming around today’s cultural communities.

From Community to Co-Owner:
The Evolution of a Creator
With NiceWigg Creator and 100 Thieves Co-Owner
Join us for a candid conversation exploring the remarkable evolution of a creator within the 100 Thieves ecosystem. From early content creation and relentless community building to becoming a co-owner of one of gaming’s most influential brands, this discussion with Nicewigg will provide an inside look into how modern creators scale alongside the communities they serve.

As entertainment and marketing executives, understanding the creator economy is no longer optional—and few embody its ultimate potential like Nicewigg, who bridged the gap from frontline streamer to executive co-owner, offering an unparalleled blueprint for modern brand building and fan engagement. Whether you are a brand architect, an entertainment marketer, or a partnerships executive, this session offers a rare masterclass in long-term creator loyalty and brand equity.
