Choose the right perspective
Match the person's side of the market to yours, since running creator partnerships for a large platform differs from recruiting creators to grow a smaller product. Also consider whether they worked with top creators one by one or with large numbers of emerging creators, because the deal terms and team setup differ.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you decide which creators to prioritize, and what did you offer them to partner with you?
- 02How did you measure whether a creator partnership was working for both the creator and the company?
- 03How did you organize your team as the number of creators you worked with grew?
