Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing reset in 2024 and the post-reset version looks different: fewer big-budget single posts, more affiliate-style ongoing relationships, more whitelisting and creator-as-ad-buyer arrangements, and a real wave of ambassador programs at brands that hadn't bothered before. The disclosure rules (FTC enforcement actions in 2024, EU DSA implementation, the platform-side disclosure surfaces) are catching up with the practice. We track the tooling (Aspire, Grin, Levanta, the Shopify Collabs ecosystem), the platform changes, the brand-side case studies, and the creator-side reports on what brands are paying for and what they aren't. The synthesis is meant for operators who run an active influencer program — not for the creator side and not for the agency-marketing-blog side — so the take is on what's working economically, not what's interesting culturally.
