Most influencer campaigns don't fail because of bad execution. They fail because nobody asked the correct strategic questions before the first DM was sent. That's the gap I fill. I'm CJ — a creative and brand strategist who has built campaigns for Google, Spotify, Airbnb, and Diageo. My work on Google's Black-Owned Friday reached 5.1M+ YouTube views and 500K+ social engagements — not because we found the biggest influencers, but because we built a creator strategy that actually fit the brand. I bring that same thinking to every client I work with, whether you're a startup figuring out your first creator program or an established brand whose influencer campaigns feel scattered and aren't converting. How I approach every project: Most people treat influencer marketing as a tactics problem. I treat it as five connected problems: strategy, analytics, outreach, content judgment, and business fit. Miss any one of them and the campaign underperforms regardless of how good the creators are. That's the lens I bring to every engagement. What I actually do: Creator & influencer strategy - Building creator programs that fit your brand positioning, not just your budget - Sourcing and vetting across nano to macro tiers with brand fit as the primary filter - UGC, gifting, seeding, affiliate programs, and product placement - Full campaign management and reporting that goes beyond vanity metrics Partnerships & business development - Identifying and approaching the right partners, collaborators, and talent - Building outreach systems and pipelines that convert - Relationship management with agencies and talent managers Industries: Wellness · Lifestyle · Beauty · Fashion · Tech · Consumer Goods If your influencer campaigns feel disconnected from your brand or you're building one from scratch and want to do it right the first time. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
