Today’s audiences scroll fast and expect more — especially on TikTok, where entertainment is the new entry point to culture. For multicultural communities in particular, entertainment isn’t just a break from the feed — it is the feed. In this panel, we’ll unpack how smart brands are shifting from broadcasting to co-creating, showing up with content that feels native, authentic, and worth watching.
We’ll explore how storytelling, humor, and creator collaboration are driving real impact — not by interrupting the experience, but by becoming part of it. And for the first time, we’ll debut findings from a new research study exploring how multicultural audiences engage with content on TikTok, and what that means for brand strategy moving forward.

Join iHeartPodcasts for an intimate fireside chat with Chairman T.D. Jakes. For decades, Jakes has been known as “The Bishop”—a world-renowned thought leader, filmmaker, philanthropist, author, and founder of The Potter’s House Church. After an incredible journey leading the church as its Senior Pastor, he’s turning the page to help shape new perspectives through the next generation of storytellers by teaming up with iHeartPodcasts to launch his brand-new podcast, NXT Chapter with T.D. Jakes.
The NXT Chapter podcast will offer a perspective you’ve never heard from T.D. Jakes before, as he sits down with global leaders, creatives, and change agents to uncover how they’ve faced life’s greatest shifts—and what came next. Drawing from his own remarkable life experience, this podcast will be more than conversation—it will be a guide for the evolution of purpose for all people, from all walks of life.
This special conversation, moderated by iHeartMedia’s Executive Vice President of Multicultural Sales, Nicky Sparrow, will explore how Jakes’ vision and voice are expanding into audio to inspire a digital-first, entrepreneurial, and wellness-minded generation—giving audiences and brands a first look at how they can participate in the next chapter of the Chairman’s impact on the media landscape.
