  Sep 28, 202656 min

  Ever wonder what brands and agencies are actually looking for from creators? This week I’m joined by Morgan Lee who has 8+ years in influencer marketing to break down the influencer industry from the brand and agency perspective. We chat about how to build real relationships that lead to brand deals, how to stand out at events, why Q4 isn’t always the money maker creators think it is, and the biggest mistakes that can hurt your reputation with brands. We also get into why having management doesn’t replace building your own relationships, the shift from generic lifestyle content to intentional niches, how agencies are approaching bundle deals, and where AI fits into the future of influencer marketing. Whether you’re trying to land your first brand deal or take your creator business to the next level, this episode is PACKED with insight on how to become the creator brands actually want to work with.

  ​++ episode 204: why I launched a creator growth program and who it’s for

  Sep 14, 202615 min

  I saw another gap in the market: creators who have strong, high-quality content but have no idea how to monetize, attract brand deals, pitch themselves or set their rates. So, I launched a new division within Zink Volt where I personally work with creators through a growth program designed to turn their content and passion into a real business within the influencer industry. From positioning and pitching to rates, brand partnerships and strategy, the goal is to get creators to the point where they are ready for top-notch management.
