Be the Voice of East Tennessee Creatives
Creative Champions are the heartbeat of this community — members who show up, spread the word, and help other creatives find their place in ETC.
The Role
What Creative Champions Do
It's not a job — it's a vibe. Champions are members who genuinely love ETC and want to help it grow.
Spread the word
Share ETC with your network — on social, in person, or anywhere creatives gather.
Refer new members
Invite fellow creatives to apply using your referral link. Every approved member counts.
Show up for the community
Attend events, engage in the forum, and be a visible, positive presence in the ETC space.
Create content
Post about ETC — a reel, a story, a post. Authentic content from real members means everything.
The Perks
What You Get as a Champion
Champions give a lot to this community — so ETC gives back.
Champion Badge
A gold crown badge on your public profile — visible to every member and visitor in the Creative Directory.
Featured Spotlight
A dedicated spotlight feature in The Buzz newsletter and on the ETC homepage — your work, your story, your moment.
Free Membership
Active Champions receive complimentary ETC membership for as long as they remain in the program.
Early Access
First look at new events, features, and community drops before they go public.
Amplified Reach
ETC shares your content, tags your work, and puts your name in front of the community's full audience.
Founding Champion Status
The first cohort of Champions earns a permanent "Founding Champion" designation — a legacy title that never expires.
Who We're Looking For
You don't need a huge following.
You need heart.
Creative Champions aren't influencers — they're community builders. We're looking for members who are genuinely excited about what ETC is building and want to be part of making it bigger.
Whether you have 200 followers or 20,000, if you show up consistently and care about East Tennessee's creative scene, you belong in this program.
Ready to Represent?
Applications are reviewed personally by Bre. We're building the first cohort of Creative Champions — spots are limited.
