Breaking the Studio Social Media Blackout: Caylee Cowan Takes Creative Control and Financial Freedom with Fanfix
Willy's Wonderland, Frank and Penelope Star Embraces New Revenue Model for Entertainment Talent During Contract Restrictions; Signals Broader Shift from Traditional Influencer-to-Creator Paths LOS ANGELES, June 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fanfix announced today that actress Caylee Cowan has joined the brand-friendly creator monetization platform to deepen direct fan connections during film production blackouts — the months-long period when actors are contractually restricted from traditional social media promotion about active projects. As the lead in acclaimed films, including Willy's Wonderland and Frank and Penelope, Cowan represents a burgeoning category of working actors who want to grow and maintain authentic fan relationships through exclusive content while also generating sustainable income in between roles. "My fans have been with me since my early projects – and want more than promotional posts and red carpet photos," said Cowan. "Fanfix is the first platform that allows me to be me, wholeheartedly and authentically. A lot of what I post either never makes it to Instagram or is posted there weeks before it shows up on my other socials. People who follow me are interested in my creative process, moments between takes, and what it's really like to navigate this industry as a working actor." Recently on the set of Easy, a YA adaptation in Malta, Cowan gave subscribers real-time access to behind-the-scenes photos and videos – content otherwise restricted by studio contracts on traditional social platforms. With features like direct messaging, Cowan is also able to engage fans on a much deeper and controlled level than with traditional social platforms. "I limit my time on social media personally. It's very much a curated representation of who I am. On Fanfix, I just post whatever I want whenever I want, and I don't worry about the aesthetics. As a result, it's a more authentic representation of who I am," added Cowan. "With Fanfix, I can interact with the fans who are truly invested in my personal and professional life and engage with my fans authentically." Just 2% of actors earn a living wage from acting alone, leaving the vast majority dependent on supplemental income, according to Acting Magazine (2025). Instagram and TikTok require creators to manage brand deals and sponsored posts for revenue. Fanfix offers a different model - direct fan subscriptions built into the platform - with Caylee's move signaling a broader shift in how actors can maintain creative and financial autonomy. "Caylee embodies everything audience and content monetization can and should be — talent building their careers and businesses through brand-safe content that respects their artistic and professional integrity," said Jamie Forster, Senior Vice President of Talent at Motion Talent. "Fanfix delivers real value to actors who don't follow the traditional influencer-to-creator path, but still want to earn, connect, and express themselves outside the bounds of studio timelines." Beyond current projects, Cowan is looking to Fanfix to share behind-the-scenes moments on-set for previous films like The Possession of Gladstone Manor and Hollywood Grit. This never-before-seen material is exclusively for fans while creating promotional value for projects, all within Fanfix's secure platform that safeguards content from leaking to gossip sites or unauthorized distribution. "Hollywood is finally catching up to what we've known for years – actors are entrepreneurs who deserve the platform that supports their artistry and financial independence," said Dylan Harari, Co-CEO at Fanfix. "While traditional social media gives talent followers, Fanfix gives them what they actually need: direct fan connections that translate into real income. Caylee is exactly the professionally trained talent we're excited to empower – actors, athletes, musicians who can build thriving businesses while maintaining industry credibility. We can't wait to see what Caylee does next." Cowan joins Fanfix as the platform expands beyond Gen Z, attracting talent across sports, entertainment, lifestyle, and fashion verticals, most recently including male model Jordan Barrett. With over 15 million users and $170 million paid out to creators, Fanfix continues to set the standard for how creators can monetize their audiences across any category and level of their career.

Meet Birmingham Interior Designer Caylee Stefanek of LOGOS Interiors
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit Birmingham-based designer Caylee Stefanek of LOGOS Interiors brings soulful sophistication to spaces throughout the South, from Lake Martin to Little Rock. She launched her design firm as a way to turn her lifelong love of drawing floor plans and crafting meaningful spaces into a full-time gig, and we're here for it. We caught up with Caylee and learned how she honors a home's history, finds beauty in function … and how much she's looking forward to raising chickens. Pin What first sparked your love for design? My family built a custom home in middle school, and my dad allowed me to be very involved at a young age. My parents divorced, and as the oldest child, I stepped into homemaking like I was made for it. Coupled with my passion for drawing houses and floor plans in middle school, I have had my eye on a design career for a very long time. As a nanny in college, my passion for crafting homes was influenced by some of the most affluent homes in Belle Meade, TN, and how they function for families and caretakers. I was always drawn to the homes that felt unique, livable, and impressive. How would you describe your aesthetic? My aesthetic is most influenced by my upbringing in Franklin, TN, rural Arkansas, and travels to New England. Anything with a pastoral or coastal emotion feels like home to me, and I especially enjoy mixing in rustic and raw elements with minimalism. Pin Pin How has Birmingham's rich architectural heritage shaped your approach to interior design? The homes in Birmingham have been a wonderful landscape to meander through. Each one has a traditional edge that welcomes my aesthetic, and at times challenges it to be more formal, using more contrast, damask, and brass, more than I typically would. Birmingham homeowners are proud of their homes and put them to use. I appreciate being included in the teams chosen to steward those homes, some dating back 100 years. My stewardship-driven approach is focused on finding a design that feels authentic to me, the home, and the homeowner and is, therefore, timeless. I believe it is imperative to avoid trends that will lose value over time. Pin Your work celebrates layered textures and unexpected detail. What is one signature element you often return to, and what brings you back to it? Every room I work on will have an antique. I like to reduce waste by reusing, and more importantly, I believe that if the piece has lasted a hundred years, it will outlast anything else on the market that I can order for a client. Pin My favorite project to date is probably a series of barn-style homes nestled into some acreage in Leeds, AL. What advice would you give someone trying to move beyond Pinterest and create a home that truly reflects their personal style? I would unplug and travel. Even if your schedule and budget don't allow for it, like mine, get out and do something to stir your heart. Take a day trip to Mentone, AL, drive through the countryside, spend a weekend at the beach, and reflect on where your heart wants to marinate. We can create that in your home without Pinterest. Pin Pin If you had to design a dream space with no limitations (location, budget, or client), what would it look like? A dark-stained cedar-shingled home inspired by my trips as a nanny to Compo Beach in Westport, [but built] in the heart of Mountain Brook, AL, with luscious layers of boxwood, accessory buildings, and a simple pool. I would like to live there and draw every gate, corbel, and custom door to the 'nth' degree. Pin Pin What's a design risk you took that paid off? My most recent design risk was a new business venture. I was asked to draw an 8,000-square-foot dream home for a client who wanted my take on everything from the floor plans to interior and exterior elevations. I undertook this project with singularity, grave attention to detail, and gratitude. We hope the house will break ground late summer. Finally, can you describe your design philosophy in five words? Restful. Authentic. Timeless. Organic. Trustworthy. ********** For home decor inspiration, vacation itineraries, recipes, and more — all delivered to your inbox daily — subscribe to StyleBlueprint!
