The 30-Day Framework for Winning Influencer Campaigns

Most influencer campaigns go wrong long before the first creator posts.

And most Brand Managers don't see it coming:

The problem usually starts with the decisions made before execution: unclear objectives, the wrong creators, weak vetting, rushed contracts, or no clear launch process.

Here's the 30-day framework I use to run winning influencer campaigns with brands like Google and Coca-Cola, broken into 4 critical weeks:

Week 1: Foundation.

↳ Lock the objective, audience, budget, timeline, and strategy: ambassadors, Traditional Influencer Marketing, UGC, or CrowdPosting

Week 2: Discovery & Vetting.

↳ Screen around 50 creators. Vet across 3 layers: audience authenticity, brand alignment, and performance forecast. Keep the best 15.

Week 3: Negotiation & Contracting.

↳ Negotiate, contract, brief.

Week 4: Execution & Launch.

↳ Create content, approve it, launch, and iterate.

30 days. 4 weeks. No week skipped.

Save this roadmap before your next campaign.
