Whether you're a brand wondering if influencer marketing is truly converting, or a creator trying to navigate the line between content creation and sales, this episode is for you. We’ll look at both sides of the argument, from the brand’s ROI expectations to creators’ roles in building awareness and trust. Are influencers here to sell, or is it all about building awareness?
