Influencer marketing

Plan an influencer campaign

In short

Planning an influencer campaign means goal and metric first, then creator mix, brief, rights and schedule. Starting from a creator list means negotiating prices without knowing what good looks like. Allow six to eight weeks from brief to launch.

Splitting the budget

As orientation: the largest share goes to creator fees, a relevant share to production and rights, and some must remain for amplification. A campaign without paid budget gives away its best assets after 48 hours.

How fast can a campaign start?
Three to four weeks with an existing brief and flexible casting. Six to eight weeks is realistic when rights, approvals and product quality are handled properly.
