Description

Influencer Strategy: Selecting Creators, Contracting and Measuring Campaigns

Choose the right creators, structure the collaboration and measure what the campaign truly delivers

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

Brands are multiplying creator collaborations without method: creators selected on follower count alone, briefs sent at the last minute, content that reflects neither the brand nor the creator. Budget is committed with no demonstrated link to sales, and advertising disclosure requirements are frequently overlooked.

Two days to build a complete creator strategy: define selection criteria, write a brief that can actually be used, structure contracts and fees, then track results. Each participant leaves with a justified creator shortlist and a brief ready to send.

Learning objectives

  • Define selection criteria based on audience and engagement
  • Build a creator shortlist aligned with the target audience
  • Write a brief that preserves the creator's editorial freedom
  • Structure fees
  • usage rights and mandatory disclosures
  • Measure campaign results beyond view counts

What makes this programme different

Creator selection is carried out on a real case brought by the participant
A brief and a fee grid are drafted and then reviewed as a group
Commercial disclosure practices are checked against existing published content
