Testing UGC for paid ads? Each objective requires a different strategic approach.

In this section, you'll learn how to build an influencer marketing strategy step by step, from defining campaign goals and choosing the right creator types to aligning messaging, structuring deliverables, and setting up performance tracking.

Some ideas covered in this section:

  • Defining campaign goals and success metrics
  • Choosing the right creator types and platforms
