If you lack video production skills, use Meta's Creator Marketplace to hire influencers. They provide built-in trust and scroll-stopping power, serving as a 'cheat code' for high-performing ad creative.

The primary value of working with smaller creators is not their audience reach, but their ability to produce authentic content at scale. This content can then fuel paid media campaigns, which is the biggest driver of growth in the influencer marketing industry today.

Brands mistakenly buy single posts from influencers, which yields poor results. The effective approach is to form long-term, integrated partnerships with creators who have built a network (events, newsletters, social), treating it as a strategic investment rather than a one-time transaction.

Forcing brand messaging on an influencer leads to inauthentic content that fails to resonate. A better approach is to educate them on your product and collaborate on an angle that aligns with their established voice and topics. Authenticity drives distribution and engagement, making the partnership more effective than a boilerplate promotion.

Instead of cold-pitching influencers, Buy Rosie Jane identifies creators who already organically love and post about their products. They then approach these authentic fans to either license existing content or collaborate on new paid projects, ensuring genuine enthusiasm and audience trust.

In B2B marketing, one-off influencer posts for launches are ineffective and a waste of money. Brands should instead pursue long-term, integrated partnerships with creators who have built entire networks (events, newsletters, social). This approach treats the collaboration as a strategic investment in 'world building' rather than a tactical play.

To get high-performing assets, move beyond simple messaging points in your briefs. Get 'maniacal' with details: specify lighting, shooting style, and even how to engage with the brand's posts. Reference the influencer's own past successful content as a 'North Star' to guide their creative freedom within your brand's guardrails.

Instead of running their own ads, an influencer can propose a deal to create ad content for a partner brand. The brand funds the ad spend, and the influencer accepts a reduced commission (e.g., 20% instead of 40%) on sales. This generates risk-free revenue and free brand exposure for the influencer.

Build a system that incentivizes customers to create short-form video content about their experiences. Then, identify the top-performing organic videos and run them as paid ads. This creates an authentic, decentralized, and highly scalable pipeline for ad creative.
