It’s About Community: Overcoming Privacy Obstacles in Digital Marketing
Brands have made a decisive shift toward creator marketing for several reasons. It’s proven at this point to be one of the strongest sales channels. It’s also clear that consumers trust creators more than they trust companies.
Introduction
There’s more at stake now though than just revenue and consumer confidence. Access to buyers has changed dramatically in 2022 with stricter privacy rules having been established. Marketing teams are working harder than ever to pivot to new strategies to reach audiences that were previously free game.
