TikTok Award Winner Max Klymenko: Creator of the Year
Among the notable winners was Max Klymenko, who received the prestigious title of Creator of the Year. He is particularly recognized for his innovative series called “Career Ladder,” which engages viewers in a unique guessing game about their careers.
The Concept Behind Career Ladder
Max’s approach involves setting up a stepladder in public places. Passers-by are invited to join him on the ladder while he asks them yes or no questions to guess their jobs. This interactive format has garnered immense popularity, making it one of the most successful non-animated shows globally.
Max’s Journey to Content Creation
Originally from Ukraine, Max moved to the UK 14 years ago. He turned to content creation out of necessity, struggling to find a job due to anxiety and stress. His aim was to enlighten others about potential job opportunities available to them.
A Heartfelt Dedication
With 8.5 million followers on TikTok, Max dedicated his award to his grandmother in Ukraine, who currently faces electricity shortages. He fondly recalled that she would login from multiple accounts to support his early efforts, boosting his view counts.
The Significance of the Award
Accepting the award from last year’s winner, Kyra-Mae Turner, Max expressed his gratitude. He mentioned that the content people enjoy might seem effortless but often requires hours of dedication to produce.
