- Deliverables may include posts, stories, reels, and user-generated content (UGC) which enriches the marketing channel.

Defining goals is crucial as it sets the direction for the campaign. The goals can include:
- Awareness
- Conversions
- Content generation
Detailed Explanation
Defining goals is the initial step in planning an influencer marketing campaign. It's important because goals act like a roadmap, guiding the strategies and actions to follow. Awareness means you want more people to know about your brand. Conversions refer to getting people to take action, like making a purchase. Content generation involves using influencers to create engaging content that reflects your brand and message.
Examples & Analogies
Think of setting goals for an influencer campaign like planning a road trip. If you're traveling to a new city, your destination is your goal. It determines your route, the stops you make, and ultimately how successful your trip is. Just like you wouldnβt start your journey without knowing where to go, you shouldnβt launch a campaign without clear goals.
