# Influencers becomes a campaign channel you can measure

> Creators now sit in a campaign beside Meta and Google, with a budget their fees draw down and results that arrive on their own.

## What this solves

- A shortlist ended at "Working with". Once a creator published, nothing about that post reached your reporting.
- Creator spend sat outside the campaign budget, so the one channel you pay a flat fee for was the one you could not see beside the rest.

## What changed

- **Record what was agreed** — deliverable, fee, currency and status — from the campaign or the creator, and get the trackable link in the same step.
- **We find the posts.** Creators on a live collaboration have their profile re-read daily, and anything published during the deal is offered with its numbers already on it. Pasting a link still works.
- **Results arrive on their own** — views, likes, comments, shares and saves, read daily for two weeks then weekly to three months, kept as a history rather than one number that overwrites itself.
- **Influencers is a channel.** Give it a budget and creator fees draw it down — planned, committed and remaining — while the reach delivered feeds the same campaign funnel as every other channel.
- **What the reach really cost** — fees against views, as a cost per thousand people reached, beside what you planned.
- **See what went out without leaving the campaign** — every post on it, newest first, with the creator on each row.
- **Honest about what cannot be counted.** LinkedIn publishes no view count for someone else's post and a photo post has no plays, so the reach figure always says how many posts it covers. For the rest, enter the numbers yourself.
- **Tracking a post costs 3 Grow Credits, once**, covering all three months. Finding posts and every reading are free, and a link we cannot read costs nothing.

## Where to find it

- Sidebar → Social Media → Influencers, then any creator's Posts tab.
- Campaigns → open a campaign → Creators, and the Influencers channel on Strategy.

## Useful for

- Marketing managers who need creator spend and results beside their paid channels.
- Founders running collaborations who want the numbers without chasing anyone for a screenshot.
