Episode notes
Measure Influencers By CPM And Whitelist Usage
- Explain influencer value by showing how creators produce UGC and whitelistable assets for your ad account.
- Back into CPMs and run creator content as ads to measure ROI rather than rely on impressions alone.

- If creator CPMs are higher, pay for usage and run the content in your ad account to improve efficiency.
