Kenya Barris & Detavio Samuels on Revolt Labs: The Future of the Creator Economy, IP Ownership, and Hollywood Risk
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi dives into the game-changing new partnership, Revolt Labs, founded by visionary creator Kenya Barris (black-ish) and media powerhouse Detavio Samuels (CEO of Revolt and Offscript Worldwide).
The duo explains why the media landscape is shifting: while creators are the "new networks" and "new media brands," they often lack the infrastructure and capital for their biggest projects and IP opportunities. Revolt Labs aims to solve this by providing a pathway for creators with massive social audiences to develop and pitch their work to streamers and networks.
