$100 MILLION IN CREATOR × BRAND DEALS

DHAR MANN TAKES ON A NEW ROLE AT ADVERTISING WEEK NEW YORK

In 2026, Dhar Mann joins Advertising Week New York as its inaugural Chief Creator Officer with an ambitious goal: help launch $100 million in new creator × brand business.

Brand partnerships. Advertising. Investment. Data. IP. New products. New business models. New ideas.

Throughout the week, Dhar will help bring brands and creators together differently — creating more ways to meet, make, experiment, and build.

SHOW, DON’T TELL

Last year, Dhar came to Advertising Week and did something unusual: instead of talking about creator marketing, he created a campaign live on stage with Gap’s Damon Berger and the audience.

That experience inspired a bigger idea for 2026: What if more of Advertising Week worked that way?


INTERACTIVE CREATOR EXPERIENCES.

THIS YEAR, EXPECT TO GET INSIDE THE ACTION.

Throughout the week, new interactive experiences will bring brands and creators together to spark relationships, create content, test ideas, and drive business.

And because creators are part of the experience, what happens at Advertising Week doesn’t have to stay at Advertising Week — the moments themselves can become media.
