PIXEL, the content aggregation and monetization platform by Eplayment, has closed the curtain on PIXEL Academy. Its third and final session capped months of learning, collaboration, and creativity. With the creator space thriving, Eplayment says it will keep finding ways to help content creators sharpen their craft.

“The creator economy has seen nothing but growth,” said Karlos Naidas, President and CEO of Eplayment Corporation. “We want both newbies and veterans to gain a deeper understanding of how this space works and how to use it to their advantage. Our hope is that PIXEL continues to give creators more opportunities as they navigate their careers.”

Looking back at the first run

The academy’s debut workshop was led by Dani Rogacion, CEO of Overdrive Studios. Her session, Designing for Impact, highlighted the role of identity in content creation. Industry veterans Mary Reyes of Tier One Entertainment and creator Denis De Chavez followed, sharing their experiences working with major brands and established names.

Final session dives into TikTok algorithm

The last workshop, The Secrets of TikTok Algorithm, was held at Thames International School, Inc. Beauty, lifestyle, and tech creator Daniella Roi led the discussion. She shared her journey from making TikTok skits to building a loyal audience.

“Everyone is doing something special,” Roi said. “So when you recreate a trend or post a product review, make sure you do what makes you, you.”

She stressed the need to adapt to the ever-changing algorithm and showed how data can guide smarter content strategies. “Once you understand how the TikTok algorithm works, you’re not guessing anymore. You know your next move.”
