Table 4: Forget Vanity Metrics; How to Reach New Customers & Drive Sales through Influencer Marketing

Influencers; they’re everywhere, and as a rapidly evolving space, there’s a lot of competing wisdom on best practices for brand safety, creator compensation models (CPA, CPC, gifting), what success looks like and how to measure it. While most retail brands have explored some form of influencer strategy to find new customers and drive sales, few have succeeded to scale efficiently. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. Join us for a discussion on how an optimized influencer strategy can lead directly to brand safe, efficient & measurable new customer growth.
