According to PEOPLE, TikTok star Brooke Monk is processing a new level of mainstream attention after landing a Creator of the Year nomination at the inaugural U.S. TikTok Awards.
In the interview, she traced her rise from strict early phone rules to rapid growth online, framing the nomination as a milestone for creators who built careers through short-form content.
TikTok’s nominees post announced: “Here are your nominees for the Creator of the Year… at the 2025 #TikTokAwards!”
The Hollywood Reporter’s nominee list included: “Creator of the Year… Brooke Monk (brookemonk_).”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: Creator awards signal how influencer culture is formalizing into “industry” status. Watch next for sponsorship rollouts, red-carpet moments and how nominees convert attention into long-term business—beyond views.
