A priest, a rabbi, and an imam walk into a bar. The young bartender sets down her phone, looks at the priest and asks, “What can I get ya?” The priest says, “Good afternoon, my child. We were just discussing the story of Moses, which may be of interest to you. It’s about service, patience, and–” “Let me stop you right there, Father,” the bartender says. “Before you launch into your story, maybe the rabbi would like to order?” The rabbi turns to the bartender and says, “Ah, thank you, young lady. But my thirst is like the Hebrews’ wandering the desert: meaningless compared to the holy mission of our greatest prophet.” The bartender sips her hard seltzer and looks at the imam. “I’m guessing you agree?” “Absolutely,” the imam replies “The story of Moses carries great wisdom. It deserves to be heard.”

A company at the heart of the creator economy has made some changes to its executive team. Spotter, which offers creator counseling and disburses capital through catalog licensing and other monetization tools, has named Sam Rogoway as its Chief Operating Officer while installing previous COO Nic Paul as its President.
Rogoway is joining Spotter less than a year after he left Linktree, where he held the title of Chief Product Officer. Rogoway’s experience in the creator economy predates the use of that term; a decade ago, he teamed up with former YouTube exec Bing Chen to launch Victorious, a startup that helped influencers build and monetize their own apps. Mindfulness app Headspace acquired Victorious in 2019.
The industry knowledge Rogoway has accumulated will serve him well in his new role at Spotter. The company that pioneered the catalog licensing model has expanded its services by positioning itself as a stable of creator economy experts.
