## Why ops matters

Managing 1–5 influencer relationships is intuitive. Managing 50+ is impossible without systems. Mature programs use platforms; immature ones drown in spreadsheets.

## Briefing

- Standard brief template.
- Audience, goals, message points, brand voice, creative requirements.
- Creative freedom (key for authenticity).
- Disclosure requirements.
- Approval workflow.
- Performance expectations.
- Compensation and timeline.

## Approval workflow

- Concept approval before production.
- Draft review and feedback.
- Final approval before post.
- SLA on brand review (usually 2–5 business days).
- Comment-and-revise vs heavy editing balance.
- Authenticity preservation in feedback.

## Production support

- Product shipping logistics.
- B-roll and asset provision.
- Sample messaging.
- Customer service contact for creator questions.
- Production support for higher-budget campaigns.
- Whitelisting setup and approval.

## Scheduling

- Posting calendar managed.
- Cluster vs stagger decision.
- Platform-specific timing.
- Holiday and event awareness.
- Competitor activity awareness.
- Repost cadence if applicable.

## Performance tracking

- Per-post performance.
- Real-time monitoring.
- Engagement analytics.
- Affiliate / code tracking.
- UGC collection for repurposing.
- Long-term performance archive.

## Platform usage

- **CreatorIQ, Aspire, GRIN, Mavrck:** End-to-end creator management.
- **HypeAuditor, Modash:** Discovery + audit.
- **Klear:** Analytics-focused.
- Spreadsheet management works under 20 creators; falls apart above.

## Advanced playbook

- Influencer management platform invested.
- Standard briefing templates.
- Approval workflow documented.
- Performance archive shared with team.
- Long-term ambassador retention focus.
- UGC sourcing pipeline.
- Whitelisting integrated with paid media.

- Creator newsletter / community.
- Cross-team coordination (paid social, brand, CX).

## Common mistakes

- Spreadsheet management at scale.
- Brief generic; authenticity lost.

- Heavy edits destroy creator voice.
- Performance archive missing.
- UGC not collected.
- Whitelisting not pursued.
- One-off campaigns; ambassador retention missed.
