In Ep. 126 of Earned, Conor sits down (again!) with Ashton Wall, co-founder of GateMaker Community and expert in all things creator economy. To start, we dive into how Ashton achieved her dream of owning her own B2B company, GateMaker Community—a brand-focused, performance-driven earned media agency built around the power of community. Ashton shares GateMaker’s greatest strength as a marketing agency, and how they’ve bridged the gap between the agency and brand teams. We then learn about Ashton’s partnership with her co-founder and “operational genius” Amelia Soohoo. Ashton reveals the biggest mistakes that brands make in their creator marketing programs, as well as the strategies she’s seen lead to success. We explore how brands are shifting their product development processes, and Ashton shares why she believes creator marketing should be everybody’s job—from finance to engineering. Switching gears, Ashton shares what it was like to build a business from the ground up, and why she recruits younger professionals to her team. To close the show, Ashton lends us some career advice, before revealing why she decided to move to Paris.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why you should invest in long-term influencer partnerships over one-off content bursts to power sustainable brand growth.
- How to build a strategic budget for influencer marketing that balances gifting, events, and paid partnerships to maximize impact.
- Why a "human-first" philosophy in business translates to powerful influencer engagements and authentic brand narratives.
