How to Leverage Creator Licensing for Your Brand
By this point, we’ve seen how influencers and content creators are great for audience trust. When an ad comes from a creator’s handle, people click it because it doesn’t look like an outright advertisement. So how are you leveraging your brand’s content through creators?
It’s easy to say that using creator content and handles can run better-performing social ads. Navigating influencers and creator licensing can be a little tricky, though. Help yourself out by using an advertising platform like #paid.
Benefits of using creator licensing platforms
- They handle the behind-the-scenes: Platforms like #paid take away the back and forth you would have to deal with when collaborating with influencers.
- Create ad-sets quickly: When you have the help of an advertising platform, you can build ad-sets, have your best performing creators and content hand-picked, and sent it right to your Facebook Ad Manager.
- Drive ROAS: Use creator licensing to attribute influencer marketing spend to the bottom of your funnel.
Marketers have the hard job of finding new ways to drive growth. Creator licensing might be your marketing budget’s new favorite source for that. Try out #paid’s platform to help you advertise through creators and reach their high-performing audiences.

Walter the Cat: Winter Edition
Last year Chevy released a Silverado ad all about a man, his truck, and man’s best friend, a cat named Walter. Well, Walter is back in action! Even in a day of winter wonderland frolicking, hockey, errands, and even saving lives, this guy doesn’t see the hype about his cat buddy. Why? His Silverado’s just that more impressive.
We said it once, we’ll say it again – we would die for Walter the Cat.
