ABOUT
Working with influencers and celebrities can take your brand to a new audience, but there are costs to such collaborations.
We’ve invited experts to shed light on what brands should really be paying for deals with high-profile ambassadors, and the reputational price of de-influencing.
Deals need to be fair for both the brand, and the celebrity or influencer, whether it’s a one off social media post, or a long-term product collaboration.
We’ll be asking our experts for a guide on costs, for various bands of ambassadors and entertainers, in today’s market.
Get peace of mind that you’re paying a reasonable rate and understand the investment necessary for a celebrity endorsement.
How to get the most out of partnerships, ideas for structuring deals and negotiating tips will all be covered too.
De-influencing, the practice of social media stars telling their followers what not to buy, may be a fleeting trend but if it’s here to stay what can you do to prepare for such an attack on your brand? Ask the experts.
