What about having influencers choose you as a brand? Would that not consist of an overall better experience and content at the end of the line?

@kimberly_west Also being a compelling brand to work with the influencers that you want. Many brands only look at what is right for them but at the end of the day, each brand has to also cater and be right for the influencer not just the influencer for the brand.
