Lowe's all-new Creator: Into the Blue program provides a forum for creators to pitch, develop and launch product ideas
This includes:
- Lowe's Creator Network, launched in 2025 as the first creator network in the home improvement industry, which helps creators grow through content and curation by connecting creators with Lowe's to share DIY projects, home improvement inspiration and product recommendations, alongside personalized Lowes.com storefronts that allow creators to curate product selections for their audiences.
- Lowe's Into the Blue launched in 2022 to help entrepreneurs bring innovative products to Lowe's customers.
- Lowe's recent collaboration with global creator MrBeast, whose collectible toy kit demonstrated how creator partnerships can evolve beyond content and curation into creation through products that connect with customers in new ways.
As more creators look to expand their businesses through product development, this new program expands creation opportunities to creators of all sizes, even if they are not yet part of Lowe's Creator Network. By joining Lowe's Creator and leveraging the company's credibility in bringing products to market, selected creators may have the opportunity to develop ideas inspired by their audiences with support from Lowe's product development, product design, sourcing and merchandising teams.
"Creators today are evolving their ideas and audiences into businesses, brands and products," said Jen Wilson, Lowe's senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "Through Lowe's Creator Network, we've helped creators grow through content and curation, and we took it a step further with MrBeast by expanding the collaboration into creation with the launch of new products and workshops. Lowe's Creator: Into the Blue is the next evolution of that strategy, allowing us to help more creators move into creation and turn their ideas into products and scalable businesses."
Creators may submit a range of ideas, including:
