(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Digiday, brands like Blenders are moving beyond traditional creator ambassador deals and bringing creators into executive roles to inform strategy and product, with figures like Jordan 'The Stallion' Howlett now consulted on brand direction, not just content.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): most brands hire creators for one campaign. The winning move is bringing one creator into a quarterly advisory role where they vet products, campaigns, and strategic direction before spend. The creator becomes your audience translator. Pick one creator who shares your core customer and whose audience overlap is strong. Offer a quarterly retainer (not per-post) where they review three strategic decisions before launch, provide written feedback, and are compensated on impact (if their feedback shifts strategy and the product wins, they share in the upside). The creator becomes co-owner of the brand decision, not a hired hand.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands rent creators for a moment and call it a partnership. The real move is making one creator a strategic voice inside your organization. Blenders did not hire Jordan to post; they hired him to think. That is why the partnership scales—his fingerprints are on the product before it ships, so when he talks about it, he is not reading a brief, he is defending something he built. That is authenticity you cannot buy.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/media/for-brands-the-creator-ambassador-is-becoming-a-creator-executive/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
