We need to stop talking *about* influencers and start talking *to* content creators.
At Fourth Floor Creative, understand the value and power unleashed when campaigns treat online content creators as equal creative partners, rather than simply leveraging them for the size of their audience. This presentation, based on a talk by our CEO Rich Keith at the Influencer Marketing Show 2019, will explain exactly why a focus on creativity and big ideas is so vitally important (if often overlooked), and how a shift in thinking can multiply results immensely, for brand, creator, and audience alike.

Creators
Influence, insight,
audience, and voice
all have great
commercial value.
Audience
Content needs
integrity and value.
Audience need to
want to watch it.
Brands
Creator collaborations need to be
optimised for reach and profit.
The equations are
based on making
sure we create value
for all sides...

If all you do is match
the audience
demographic or
video subject with
the product, then
add money, you
create risk.

they need the money, because it really
isn’t all milk and honey trying to make a
living making videos

18. How do you
achieve this?
FourthFloorConfidential
Central idea as a big tent
An idea that can have multiple voices
and points of view.
Only work with the right creators
Go beyond reach and audience, and
consider how well they fit your brand.
Listen to the creators
If their audience are your consumers,
they will have valuable insight.
Clear and consistent communication
Don’t over-promise, and make sure they
understand what’s expected.
