Influencer marketing budgets surge as creator advertising becomes mainstream

Influencer marketing has evolved from an experimental tactic to a dominant advertising strategy, with nearly all consumer brands now collaborating with creators.

Brands are increasingly involving creators earlier in the marketing process, from product feedback to campaign concepts, to ensure authenticity and leverage the personalized connection creators have with their audiences.
