"Platform algorithm changes or volatility is the top barrier to business growth for creators worldwide, cited by 18% of respondents, just 1 point ahead of lack of consistent brand deals (17%), according to a July 2025 survey from CreatorIQ."
"Use the barrier breakdown to benchmark your brand's relationship health against the top pain points, and make the case for consistent deal pipelines as a creator retention tool, not just a campaign tactic."
A CreatorIQ survey of 300 creators from the US, UK, France, Germany, Canada, Netherlands, Australia, and United Arab Emirates identified platform algorithm volatility as the leading obstacle to business growth, cited by 18% of respondents. Lack of consistent brand deals follows at 17%, representing a critical vulnerability for creators. These findings highlight where creators feel most exposed in their business operations. The data suggests that consistent deal pipelines function as both a creator retention mechanism and a strategic partnership tool beyond individual campaigns. Understanding these barriers enables brands to strengthen creator relationships and demonstrate commitment to long-term collaboration rather than transactional engagement.
