Mark Wurtzel shared thisDomains are integral to trust and branding...AI only reinforces that notion!Mark Wurtzel shared thisAI is changing who gets to build on the internet. Our new report, The Empowered Builder: Digital Identity in the Age of AI, explores what happens when AI dramatically lowers the time, cost, and expertise needed to launch online, and what people use to establish trust in an AI-first web. One key finding: as barriers to building disappear, domains become one of the clearest signals of ownership, credibility, and authority online. 🔗 Read the full report: name.social/empowered

Mark Wurtzel shared thisLove seeing how partners like Lnk.Bio turn domains into a native part of the creator experience. We’re noticing that more platforms treat branded links as infrastructure, not a feature. That shift changes how creators show up from day one. When identity is bundled into the upgrade itself, creators don’t have to think about branding as a separate step. The upgrade is the brand upgrade.Mark Wurtzel shared this🌍 Super Domain perk!

Mark Wurtzel shared thisExcited to see Name.com removing the friction from web building with these new API partnerships. Being able to secure domains right inside partner ecosystems is going to save developers so much time.Mark Wurtzel shared thisToday we announced new partnerships and product integrations with Bolt, Netlify, Replit, and Vercel—bringing domain registration and setup directly into development tools. Across all four platforms, the name.com API brings domain registration and setup directly into the product experience—allowing users to secure domains and launch without leaving bolt.new, Netlify, Replit, or Vercel. These efficiencies can lead to measurable results, including: ✅ Higher conversion rates ✅ Improved customer lifetime value ✅ Lower operational costs “Millions of domains have been published through Netlify with the name.com API, and it’s been a steady part of how our users publish. The name.com team has consistently made the domain side of the workflow simpler. We’re glad to keep building on a partnership that helps developers get their projects on the web with less friction." — Mathias Biilmann, CEO & Co-Founder, Netlify Full press release: name.social/API-partners

Winners are building creator ecosystems that empower authentic voices while preserving institutional strengths. For decades, media's playbook was simple: own 100% of content, broadcast at scale, and monetize through mass attention. That era is gone. The winning strategy? Shared voice, co-created value, and monetization driven by loyalty, not just fleeting reach. So, how do legacy media powerhouses thrive in this exciting Creator–IP Hybrid Era? Here are a few key insights: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱: Imagine offering creators rev-share opportunities coupled with expert coaching and resources, all under your established banner. This fosters innovation and provides a pipeline of fresh, authentic content. 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗼-𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝘂𝗯𝘀: Create dedicated spaces within your existing media ecosystems where creators can collaborate on content that resonates with your shared audience. This amplifies reach for both parties and builds stronger community. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 "𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆" 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵: Recognize creators as true partners. Explore models where their consistent contributions and audience engagement translate into tangible benefits and a deeper stake in the platform's success. Mini-Case in Point: Picture a major sports network partnering with a beloved retired athlete. Together, they launch a dedicated storytelling vertical, offering exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and even a paid course sharing the athlete's expertise. This leverages the network's infrastructure and the athlete's personal brand for mutual benefit. The potential is massive, but the execution requires a shift in mindset. #Media #CreatorEconomy #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Partnerships #ContentStrategy #LinkedInForCreators

Mark Wurtzel posted this𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? 𝗜𝗣 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆. You don't need 1M followers to win in the creator economy — you need leverage. And leverage starts with owning your IP. Creators often treat their content like content. Smart ones treat it like 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺. Meanwhile, legacy companies are still struggling to structure co-owned opportunities without losing control. The real monetization playbook isn't about viral hits—it's about strategic IP deployment: • Think licensing: Transform your content into courses, books, or TV formats • Think royalties: Embed affiliate deals or evergreen splits on digital tools you help create • Think tokens: Build access-based models where fans pay for premium layers of your ecosystem The winning formula? Build Once → Monetize Many Times → Share Creatively Creators leave millions on the table by focusing solely on platform monetization while ignoring the IP goldmine they're sitting on. #CreatorEconomy #IntellectualProperty #ContentStrategy #DigitalMonetization

Mark Wurtzel liked thisI've spent the last 5 years at Format helping artists build their online presence, and one thing I always see is that the people who succeed fastest are the ones who build the basics first and refine from there. That's the idea I built our first Getting Started webinar around, and got to host yesterday. A group of real artists and I built sites live, alongside one another, and by the end everyone had a working, published site. All in just 20 minutes. If you missed it live, the replay's up now!Mark Wurtzel liked thisMost creatives get stuck in "perfectionism loop" when building their portfolio site—spending weeks tweaking layout grids and color palettes instead of putting their work out there. At Format, we know a working site today will do far more for your creative career than a "perfect" site sitting in draft mode next month. In our latest onboarding webinar, our Customer Experience Manager, Regan Macdonald, demonstrated how to go from a blank site to a live, functional portfolio in just 20 minutes. Here is the 3-step sequence proven to get sites live fast: 1️⃣ Your First Gallery: Uploading 10–20 of your best images and arranging them to make a strong first impression. 2️⃣ Your About Page: Writing a human, context-focused intro with your face on it to build immediate trust. 3️⃣ Your Contact Form: Making it effortless for potential clients to reach out. If you missed the live session, the full video replay is now available. Whether you’re starting from scratch or finally finishing a site you paused on, this walkthrough will give you the exact momentum to publish today. 🔗 Watch the 20-minute replay here: https://lnkd.in/ezWgYcPkBuild Your Format Portfolio Site in 20 Minutes (Live Demo & Walkthrough)Build Your Format Portfolio Site in 20 Minutes (Live Demo & Walkthrough)

Mark Wurtzel liked thisMark Wurtzel liked thisFirst week at Google (second time around)! I’ve boomeranged back to join the Google Cloud Private Equity practice and couldn't be more energized for what's ahead. If anything, my work over the last few years has re-anchored my high conviction in Google's strengths across the entire value chain - from chips and compute, to data, modern infrastructure, apps, and beyond. At such a critical time for sponsors, operating teams, and portfolio companies, I’m looking forward to building enduring partnerships that translate the potential of AI into tangible operational alpha, net-new growth, and true competitive advantage. A huge thank you to Paul Zimmerman, NACD.DC and Kathryn Van Nuys for this incredible opportunity and warm welcome back. Excited for this next chapter!

Mark Wurtzel liked thisMark Wurtzel liked thisMatt Overman, CRO at Identity Digital Inc., on the shift from legacy domains to meaningful ones on the #RevenueEnginePodcast: "We've seen a shift in demand towards more AI leading the way, but more meaningful TLDs, if you will." The old assumption was that .com was the only extension that signaled trust. That assumption is breaking. Relevant options like .ai, .app, or .bio communicate credibility and personality immediately. The younger, more tech-native audience doesn't carry the legacy bias. They choose extensions that match their audience and their purpose. The extension is now part of the positioning.
