About Rick Johnson

I sit at the intersection of creator growth, content operations, and reputation marketing.At Netflix Tudum, I help bring the brand’s biggest moments to life by supporting editorial and campaign operations across Homepage Billboards, spotlights, title hubs, and special events. I work with writers, editors, marketers, product/ops, and legal/comms to turn ideas into on-platform experiences that highlight positive narratives and deepen fan connection.Previously at iHeartMedia, I managed digital content and audience engagement for on-air talent across web, app, streaming, and podcasts—learning firsthand how “creators” build and sustain loyal communities over time.I’m also an award-winning author and independent creator, using SEO, Meta Ads, email funnels, and reader magnets to grow my own audience and coach other creators on building sustainable careers. That mix of platform-side experience and creator perspective gives me a nuanced view of the full creator lifecycle, from discovery and onboarding to long-term engagement.I’m especially excited by roles and projects that involve:• Designing creator and community programs• Building on-platform and LIVE campaigns• Turning wins into case studies, stories, and thought leadership• Helping creators understand how to grow and protect their communitiesI’m passionate about live and interactive formats, mobile-first and storytelling through livestreaming as well as the creator economy. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can collaborate across disciplines, support creators, and help shape positive, high-impact narratives around content and community.Portfolio & Online Presence:rickerthewriter.compastathon.comSocial:@rickerthewriter on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
