Friends List for Collaborations and Influencers

 

Brands have started giving somewhat more independence to their influencer partners this year. If businesses gave strict guidelines about what influencers can or can’t say before, nowadays they allow influencers to use their authentic unique voice in creating promotional content. This way the results look quite natural both to their accounts and their audience. Especially for this, influencer partners must be added to the close friends list. Here the business owner can add the key information about the products, new features and anything else that might be helpful for the collaboration.
