Influencer marketing platform
What is an influencer marketing platform?
An influencer marketing platform is software that helps brands run creator campaigns. Typical features are a creator search across platforms, audience and engagement data, contact details, outreach and relationship tracking, briefs and contracts, payments and reporting.
Some platforms are marketplaces where creators sign up to be found; others index public profiles across the social platforms.
Why an influencer marketing platform matters
Searching, vetting and tracking creators by hand gets slow beyond a few partnerships. A platform keeps the shortlist, the conversations and the results in one place.
