As a recent quote from our team highlights, this report is a direct response to a major concern in the industry:

“In recent months, we’ve seen increased public discussion around viewbotting and how platforms are addressing this issue. Many brands have been hesitant to invest in influencer marketing on live platforms due to uncertainty or negative experiences with inflated metrics. I hope that this paper provides the much-needed clarity for marketers to make data-driven decisions. It’s a resource that proves influencer marketing still works if you know what to look out for.”

Our core belief remains that influencer marketing still works, you just need to partner with authentic creators. 

The key is to look beyond just the numbers and ask critical questions: 

• Do they have an active and engaged community? 
• How is their community management? 
• And are they genuine in their communication, both in their general content and in their brand collaborations?
