Are you an agency? Are you looking for a platform to manage your clients’ influencer marketing programmes efficiently?

As you know, in the past few years, forward-thinking brands have understood that collaborating with influencers and content creators is a great way to talk to customers in an authentic, interesting and engaging way. Your clients have probably been asking you to launch or manage their one-off influencer campaigns or ongoing ambassador programmes.

But as an agency, you are probably painfully aware that there are problems with this;

• It is hard to find the right influencers, certainly in numbers that will make a difference;
• Once you have identified some influencers that you think might be right, briefing them on what you are trying to achieve is complicated and time-consuming;
• Having selected and briefed some influencers, knowing what they are doing takes a vast amount of man-power;
• And finally reporting on influencer activity – crucial if you want to understand whether what your client is spending is having an impact – is often slow and inaccurate.

If you manage influencer marketing on behalf of brands, then it is crucial that you use the best tools to avoid the following issues:

• Wasting Time: looking for influencers, assessing their suitability and contacting them all takes time.
• Lacking Clarity: one problem that we see all the time is influencers not understanding what the brand is asking for and what exactly is on offer.
• Missing Opportunities: manually searching for influencers can often result in missing some excellent people who would be perfect for the campaign.
• Losing Track: without the right tools, keeping track of who is doing what is very difficult and time consuming. This means measuring ROI is an unreliable, manual and costly work.

The Freestak platform allows you to manage your clients’ influencer activity better. Here’s how:
