Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)
  1. Marketing manager manually searches Instagram for influencers in brand category.
  2. Evaluate influencers based on follower count only (no engagement or authenticity checks).
  3. Manually reach out via DM (low response rate, time-consuming).
  4. No systematic tracking of campaign ROI or influencer performance.

5. Work with same 5-10 influencers repeatedly (limited discovery of new talent).

Pain Points

  • ⚠ Manual Processes: Many SMBs still rely on spreadsheets and email, leading to inefficiencies and errors.
  • ⚠ Fake Followers & Engagement Fraud: Inflated metrics and bot activity undermine campaign ROI.
  • ⚠ Lack of Standardization: Inconsistent vetting criteria and reporting formats across teams.
  • ⚠ Compliance Risks: FTC disclosure requirements and contract management challenges.
  • ⚠ Limited Omnichannel Integration: Influencer campaigns often siloed from broader marketing efforts.
