Sfide

As influencer spend increased, the brand faced challenges in maintaining consistency, measuring true impact, and retaining top-performing creators. Short-term campaigns drove spikes in content but failed to build sustained advocacy.

The brand needed a scalable system to incentivize performance, reward loyalty, and ensure compliant, high-quality content across its influencer ecosystem.

Key challenges included:

• Inconsistent content quality: Not all influencer content met brand, compliance, and storytelling standards.

• Limited performance accountability: Engagement and conversion outcomes were not consistently tied to rewards.

• High influencer churn: Top creators frequently shifted focus to competing brands.

• Low campaign memorability: One-off posts lacked continuity and long-term brand recall.

• Limited pre-launch momentum: Product launches struggled to generate early buzz and anticipation.

• Manual reward management: Tracking milestones, performance, and payouts was time-consuming and error-prone.
