I sat down with Ryan Davis, co-founder of the creator agency People First, to uncover The #1 Mistake Killing Your Influencer Marketing ROI. The answer, backed by a Stanford University study, is a lack of creative control. Ryan explains why giving creators more freedom leads to better performing content and a higher return on investment.
