[ SLANG ][ CREATOR ECONOMY ]
Treating a brand's entire creator/affiliate program as a distribution and sales pipeline in its own right, on par with retail or e-commerce channels, rather than as a marketing or awareness tactic.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The creator sales channel now moves more units than the brand's own website."
LORE & ORIGIN
Reflects a shift in social commerce where brands formally categorize affiliate creators as a revenue channel with its own targets, not just a promotional add-on.
