Influencer / KOL
Measure real influencer ROI, not just reach
Likes and EMV don't pay bills. Standardize a tracking method per creator, treat EMV as context rather than ROI, and use incrementality once the program is big enough to justify it.
Reach and engagement tell you a post was seen; they don't tell you whether it moved a sale that wouldn't have happened anyway. Real influencer ROI measurement means picking a consistent per-creator tracking method, being honest about what EMV can and can't tell you, and layering in incrementality once the spend is big enough to earn it.
Likes and EMV don't pay bills. AI can turn your raw spend-and-revenue table into a clean ROI ranking and flag which creators to rebook; the numbers themselves come from your own tracking (unique codes, UTM links, holdout tests) and AI must never invent them.
