2025 was a defining year for Activate. 🚀

We partnered with hundreds of creators, reached tens of millions, and sparked millions of meaningful engagements in the communities that matter most. But what tied it all together wasn’t scale alone, it was purpose.

From driving 170% podcast audience growth, to supporting causes like breast cancer awareness, blood donation, and public lands protection, to helping bring brands together around shared impact, our work proved one thing again and again:

Purpose + People = Performance.

We saw cultural wins. Policy wins. Box office and streaming #1s. And campaigns that didn’t just perform, but mattered.

We had a lot of purposeful fun in 2025 and 2026 is already looking even brighter. ✨ by @activatehq_

Fans aren’t just audiences, they’re active participants in the worlds they love. 🔎

From Five Nights at Freddy’s theories and deep dives to Marvel trailer breakdowns, cosplay and memes, every fandom has its own way of showing up.

Our fanbase research maps where these communities gather, what gets them talking and the cultural moments that drive conversation, helping brands tap into organic excitement without forcing their way in.

The opportunity? Understand the fandom, meet fans where they already are and give them room to participate.

What does it take to be a hero? Sometimes, just showing up. ❤️

For our latest work with the @americanredcross, we partnered with Latino and Hispanic creators to make blood donation feel more approachable, accessible and connected to community.

One of our creators, Carlos, brought that mission to life through a superhero-inspired story, showing how a simple action can make a meaningful impact. by @activatehq_

We’re excited to welcome @minastevens_ to the Activate HQ team, now full-time! ✨

After joining us as a Summer Associate, Mina is continuing her journey with Activate. This summer, she worked across our political and public affairs vertical, gaining hands-on experience supporting campaigns from beginning to end while researching digital creators, communities, and emerging trends.

She’s also taken on a long-term project reorganizing and optimizing our creator database – work she’ll continue as she steps into her full-time role.

We’ve loved having her perspective on the team this summer and can’t wait to see what she does next.

We’re thrilled to have you, Mina! by @activatehq_

Travel content goes far beyond the destination. ✈️

From arriving at a new hotel to discovering the restaurant you’ll tell everyone they have to try, the right creator partnerships can turn stays, meals, and experiences into authentic stories that inspire audiences to start planning their next trip.

The key? Finding the right creator, creating an experience worth sharing, and letting the destination become part of their story.
