(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nThe biggest creators are reducing their number of brand partnerships and raising the bar for new deals, per Digiday reporting on creator trends across the market.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you want to partner with a top-tier creator, assume they will ask for exclusivity in your category for 6-12 months, a longer contract term than you might expect, and proof of audience fit before they say yes. Do not lead with 'we'll pay X for a post.' Lead with 'your audience has a problem we solve; here's how you'd tell that story.' Give them the narrative first, then negotiate terms. Top creators are now co-authors of the brand strategy, not one-off endorsers.\nWhat that means for you: Influencer marketing has been a numbers game for too long. Reach times CPM equals revenue. But that math breaks when the audience stops trusting the creator. The best creators now understand their audience is their asset, not the brand's. They're protecting it by saying no. If you're a brand trying to partner with a creator with real influence, expect them to be selective, expensive, and demanding about the creative. That's how you know they still have real influence.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/future-of-marketing-briefing-why-top-creators-are-taking-fewer-brand-deals/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
