Is Influencer Marketing Working?

ou've seen influencer marketing work. Better creative, warmer audiences, customers who stick around. But your dashboard only shows a fraction of the impact, so when you ask for budget, finance says no. The problem isn't influencer marketing. It's that last-click attribution was built for ads and not *influence*. It credits the last touchpoint and ignores that TikTok video that started the journey three weeks earlier. This guide shows you how to measure what your dashboard misses, report it in language finance understands, and handle every objection with frameworks from brands that have already won this fight. Featuring expertise from: CMOs and marketing leads at Slumberkins, Spacegoods, Charlie Oscar, KnoCommerce, and more.
