You have been a creator since early childhood. That deep, human drive to connect, learn, create, and grow is fundamental to our nature.
As adults navigating our evolving world, we are Co-creators when we engage other creators with various roles, skills, and backgrounds, relying on our unique talents, advanced tools like AI, and a shared purpose to deliver 'Big C Value.' This Co-created value is exponentially greater than any single person’s current capability.
Creatorbase® is a digital-based community that was founded in the San Francisco Bay / Silicon Valley area in 2007 for creators in a variety of roles and industries worldwide. Creatorbase publishes and coordinates stories and professional development experiences in core areas of digital and sustainable business. Editorial topics include co-creation practices and tools, digital transformation, customer experience, product innovation, marketing, sales, and workforce success.
Community objectives
Connection: Bring people together with digital and in-person experiences to learn, create value, and enable growth for their businesses and careers; share knowledge and perspectives with others. Have fun, too!
Co-creation: Organize small, multidisciplinary teams to focus their expertise, skills, and thought leadership on learning and development assets and experiences based on established goals, roles, and responsibilities.
The backstory and future
The original CreatorBase was co-created and launched in 2002 by Erick Mott and a small team for online collaboration and project management. It was a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application for Creator Connection, an open innovation network with paying members.
With the growth of web and social media technologies and Erick's desire to simplify, the original idea evolved into Creatorbase 2.0––a Community Hub strategy that is even more relevant today with digital transformation enabled by AI. See examples of past stories and video interviews from 2020 to 2007.
Since joining ServiceNow in February 2020, Erick has been focused primarily on ServiceNow go-to-market strategies with innovation, communications, learning and development programs, with only occasional posts on Creatorbase social channels. Creatorbase.com publishing was put on hold in 2020.
That's changing in early 2026.
With new AI tools and a renewed focus on community-led learning and development, the time is right to re-launch the Creatorbase Community with new digital and in-person experiences to help people and businesses with skills development and growth for the AI era.
