Lucas and Luna navigate the shifting landscape of influencer marketing, where creator-brand partnerships now rival traditional ad spend. This show examines how sponsorship deals are structured, from flat fees to revenue-sharing models, and how platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube shape the metrics that matter. Lucas draws on recent examples—such as the FTC's updated endorsement guidelines, the rise of micro-influencers in niche verticals, and the economics behind affiliate marketing—while Luna interrogates the actual return on investment for brands. They discuss the tension between authenticity and paid promotion, the role of disclosure, and how data-driven attribution is changing deal terms. Each episode unpacks one deal or trend, with a focus on the numbers: CPMs, engagement rates, conversion lift, and the long-tail value of a creator's audience. The listener is someone who manages a brand budget, runs a creator agency, or simply wants to understand why a single Instagram po

How Brands Measure Influencer Authenticity
Sep 15, 20267 minS4
We dig into the new metric reshaping creator deals: audience trust scores. As of September 15, 2026, major brands are moving past vanity metrics like follower counts and engagement rates to measure genuine connection. We look at how a specific mid-sized apparel brand shifted its budget based on comment sentiment analysis rather than view counts, and why this change matters for creators negotiating long-term contracts. #InfluencerMarketing #CreatorEconomy #BrandPartnerships #AudienceTrust #MarketingStrategy #DigitalAdvertising #ContentCreation #SocialMediaTrends #ConsumerBehavior #ROI #SponsorshipDeals #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingInsights #BrandAuthenticity #CreatorContracts #DigitalMarketing #MediaBuying Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Influencer marketing has shifted from one-off brand deals to long-term equity partnerships. We examine how creators like Emma Chamberlain are moving from sponsorship fees to ownership stakes, and what this means for small brands trying to compete. This episode breaks down the financial mechanics behind creator-owned media companies and why traditional agency models are becoming obsolete. #CreatorEconomy #InfluencerMarketing #BrandPartnerships #EquityDeals #MediaOwnership #DigitalAdvertising #AudienceRetention #ContentStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingTrends #CreatorRights #LongTermValue #BrandLoyalty #SocialMediaROI #Entrepreneurship #MediaAgencies #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Most brands chase macro-influencers for reach, but the real ROI in September 2026 lives with micro-creators. We break down why a beauty brand shifted five million dollars from celebrity endorsements to creators with under ten thousand followers. The data shows higher conversion rates, lower production costs, and surprisingly complex relationship management. Lucas and Luna explore the hidden operational overhead that makes this model harder than it looks, using a specific case study from a direct-to-consumer skincare company that doubled its customer acquisition efficiency. #InfluencerMarketing #MicroInfluencers #BrandStrategy #CreatorEconomy #ROI #MarketingTrends #SocialMedia #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #ContentCreation #DigitalMarketing #ConsumerBehavior #AdSpend #TrustSignals #NicheAudiences #CampaignAnalytics #CreatorEconomics #LunaAndLucas Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Most brands assume influencer marketing is a straightforward exchange of cash for content. But as we look at the market in September 2026, a new friction point has emerged that few are talking about: the hidden operational tax of managing creator relationships. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down why the real cost isn't the fee you pay the creator, but the internal bandwidth your team burns trying to manage approvals, usage rights, and platform compliance. We use a specific case study of a mid-sized consumer goods brand to show how poor onboarding processes can inflate effective customer acquisition costs by up to forty percent. If you are running in-house campaigns or working with agencies, this is the operational audit you didn't know you needed. #InfluencerMarketing #CreatorEconomy #BrandStrategy #MarketingOps #CustomerAcquisition #ContentProduction #BrandPartnerships #DigitalMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy #AgencyLife #BusinessOperations #ROIAnalysis #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingTrends #CreatorEconomics #BrandCompliance #SupplyChainRisk Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Influencer Marketing Became a Supply Chain Risk
Sep 11, 202610 minS4
In September of twenty twenty-six, the gap between viral marketing and physical inventory is collapsing. We look at how a major apparel brand’s influencer campaign led to a logistics bottleneck because they treated social media reach like a guaranteed sales order. Lucas and Luna break down the hidden cost of misaligned incentives between creator teams and warehouse operations, and why modern endorsement deals now require supply chain integration. #InfluencerMarketing #SupplyChainRisk #CreatorEconomy #LogisticsBottlenecks #BrandPartnerships #InventoryManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingStrategy #ViralCampaigns #RetailOperations #CreatorContracts #ECommerceGrowth #LogisticsTech #ModernEndorsements #BrandSafety #ConsumerBehavior #OperationalEfficiency Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
