Cricket Wireless and Hoorae Media’s Ensemble Launch a New Limited Series About Navigating the Creator Economy

In the Community

Published on 11/12/2025

The six-part series pairs aspiring and established creators for unfiltered mentorship

Cricket Wireless collaborates with Hoorae Media’s Ensemble to unveil “MAKING IT,” a compelling six-episode limited series that highlights the layers required to excel in today’s evolving Creator Economy.

Each episode features candid mentorship sessions with seasoned creators who pull back the curtain on what it takes to build an untraditional path to success. The mentors offer aspiring creators an opportunity to learn about the numerous layers required to thrive—from mastering financial literacy, to harnessing the power of community and collaboration.

Viewers will see how Cricket Wireless continues to empower creators to do more of what they love. This sponsorship underscores the carrier’s commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices and connecting creatives in the digital era.

“Collaborating with the Ensemble team not only celebrates diverse creatives but also provides actionable insights for the next generation of creators,” said Stephen Barnes, paid media director at Cricket Wireless. “MAKING IT” embodies our belief that the tools to pursue your dreams should be accessible to our communities.”

Ian Schafer, Co-Founder & President of Ensemble added, “Creators are more than an economy. They are a community. And “MAKING IT” is about more than mentorship—it’s a blueprint for building creative careers and businesses through human connectivity. We’re showing what access and empowerment look like when creators are given both the platform and the playbook to do more.”

“MAKING IT” debuts Friday, November 14 on YouTube with new episodes dropping weekly.
