X Games medallist, award-winning producer — 30 years across global sport, media, and digital culture, now a leading voice in the creator economy.
Brooke Howard-Smith is a New Zealand-based futurist and one of the most experienced voices in the creator economy, with thirty years across global sport, media, and digital innovation. An X Games medallist and award-winning producer, he has held leadership roles with WeAreTENZING, Otterfish, and Non Fungible Labs, and guided one of the world's most successful NFT ecosystems. His projects have reached millions of people, and he has raised over ten million dollars for major charities.
What gives Howard-Smith a perspective few futurists can match is that he has not just observed the creator economy — he has built inside it, at the intersection of sport culture, digital media, and emerging technology. His understanding of how communities form, how digital movements scale, and how organisations can build genuine audiences rather than passive followers comes from direct experience rather than trend analysis.
He suits innovation conferences, digital marketing forums, media and entertainment industry events, and corporate strategy sessions focused on the creator economy, emerging technology, and community-led growth. Audiences leave with a practical and grounded understanding of where digital culture is heading — and what organisations need to do to stay relevant inside it.

The creator economy has redefined influence and consumer behaviour. Brooke reveals how creators build trust, how digital communities grow and how organisations can collaborate authentically to stay relevant in a rapidly changing landscape.
Drawing from large scale digital activations and online ecosystems reaching millions, Brooke shows how content, culture and purpose come together to mobilise people. This session teaches organisations how to create loyal, participatory communities around their brand.
Across thirty years in global sport, media and tech, Brooke has seen the patterns behind breakthrough ideas. He offers a practical, human centred approach to innovation that helps leaders spark creativity, unlock opportunity and guide their teams through change.
