Honoree

What happens when creators are treated as strategic partners rather than campaign inputs is the foundation of Brand Curators’ approach to modern communications. Founded by Tiffany Knighten in 2020, the agency was built to support creators, founders and cultural institutions navigating a media landscape shaped by platform-driven influence and cultural speed. Brand Curators operates as a creator-first communications agency, merging earned media, social storytelling and brand strategy to help clients build equity rather than short term visibility. What began as a one-woman consultancy has grown into a full-service practice supporting creatorpreneurs, experiential events and lifestyle brands across the United States and Canada. The agency has been an early leader in the LinkedIn creator space, representing creator entrepreneurs whose work shapes conversations across business, culture and technology. Its campaigns span film, cultural institutions and research initiatives, including festival-driven releases, anniversary programs and national studies addressing creator mental health and digital wellbeing. Education and advocacy are central to the agency’s mission, with ongoing work focused on elevating Black and multicultural creators, advancing fair compensation and promoting ethical creator brand relationships. Across every engagement, Brand Curators centers cultural intelligence, transparency and equity, helping clients lead conversations rather than respond to them.
