Influencer 'content houses' are nothing new.
But for many casual social media scrollers, (ahem, me), it might come as a surprise just how many of those 'viral dances' you've seen flooding your feeds explode thanks to them.
Or it might surprise you, just how many views this set-up is responsible for racking up (spoiler, tens of millions per post).
In short, a content house is a big ol' house full of influencers creating content together for the mutual benefit of increasing their fanbase and therefore, their revenue.
Listen: The Quicky unpacks the world of content houses. Post continues below.
They began as 'YouTube' houses around 2014 and 2015, but really started to boom in 2019 and 2020 on TikTok, with the creation of places like 'Hype House' and 'Sway House.'
Even the D'Amelio sisters Charli and Dixie (aka some of the most popular creators on the platform), have taken part in this concept.
The houses are usually super-fancy mansions and they're decked out with professional equipment for video and photo production. Sometimes they're funded by talent agencies, sometimes by brands and sometimes by creators themselves.
Creators cross-promote each other, leverage each other's audiences, collaborate on ideas for viral content, et cetera, et cetera… you get the idea.
Watch: There was a Netflix doco made on Hype House, one of the OG content houses. Post continues below.
