AiMCO Summit Podcast
The AiMCO Summit was the most significant learning and development event for creators, Australia's biggest brands, tech innovators and agencies in Australia. The program was held in NIDA in a 700pax theatre featuring workshops, keynotes, panels and case studies designed to connect industry leaders, showcase creative excellence and shape the future of our sector.
The Creator Economy, Decided
Two leading voices from the creator economy, Ant McCormack and Jim Louderback, cut through speculation to call what’s next: what’s locked in, what won’t happen, and what only works if a few non-negotiables line up.
No trend-chasing. No hedging. Just sharp calls, lived perspective, and a clear view of where the creator economy is heading.
Built for creators and marketers who need to make smarter bets and stop wasting time on narratives that won’t survive contact with reality.
Speakers:
🎙️ Ant McCormack - Founder, Changer Studios
🎙️ Jim Louderback - CEO Inside the Creator Economy

Television once set the rhythm for viewers and brands alike, but in a new era of on-demand viewing, primetime routines have given way to personality-driven media like YouTube. This conversation explores what it means to make entertainment in 2026 and why the traditional titans may be better placed to thrive by collaborating rather than competing with today’s data-driven storytellers. Speakers:
🎙️ Jayden James - Creative Lead at Spawnpoint Media
🎙️ Dan Fahy - Independant Consultant
