The Instagram account for the world’s largest short form film festival, Tropfest has also steadily built its online following (50.4k followers) in the past month following September’s announcement that it would return in 2026.
“October’s top creators are such a great reminder of how diverse the Aussie creator landscape really is,” Fabulate’s head of strategy & talent Lucy Ronald said.
“When a page dedicated purely to Monster drinks racks up millions of views, it shows the power of niche communities – and how even the simplest ideas can take off when they tap into the right audience. For brands, that’s the sweet spot – partnering with creators who know how to turn small moments into big impact,” Ronald added.
“Creators like David the Medium and even cultural icons like Tropfest show how audiences are increasingly using TikTok and Instagram as their go-to for entertainment and connection. It’s where people go to discover, unwind, and feel part of something – whether that’s spirituality, storytelling, or nostalgia,” she said.
Over on YouTube, Desi Johnson, who is currently training to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan as a bobsledder, continues to build her YouTube following (148k followers), having been one of the fastest creators in Australia consistently for the last few months, with many of her short videos garnering millions of views.
Fishing creator Paul Burt is also building a strong following on YouTube, with his channel now passing the 90,000 follower mark.
“What’s always fascinating is how differently each platform behaves. On YouTube, audiences are gravitating toward creators like Desi Johnson and Paul Burt – people who share their real lives, passions, and pursuits. It’s that authenticity that keeps people coming back,” Ronald added.
