Arise was built from firsthand exposure to both sides of the creator economy. One of Johnny Tran’s sisters grew her career as a creator, navigating brand partnerships from the talent side. Another worked closely with brands, helping establish some of the earliest bridges between creators and advertisers. By learning directly from both, Johnny gained a rare, full-spectrum understanding of where partnerships break down—and what each side truly needs to succeed. Arise was created to apply that knowledge, aligning brands and creators through smarter strategy, clear communication, and partnerships built to last.
