All about creator marketing

We’re living in an age of content creators. Go to any social media feed and you’ll find individuals who have carved out distinct identities, created a wealth of relatable content and built up communities of loyal followers. Widely referred to as influencers, these creators act as tastemakers, influencing customer preferences and steering purchase decisions through their curated content. They know how to genuinely connect with their audiences - particularly among Millennials and Gen Z - and are valuable partners for brands, with creator marketing a key part of many media plans.

However, executing a successful creator marketing strategy is not as simple as hopping on your socials and hailing down the next available influencer. It demands identifying the right creators, crafting compelling campaigns and effectively measuring engagements. Here, we bring together resources from our Creator Marketing Group to guide and grow an effective creator marketing strategy.
