(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer MSN/Creator Economy Live East 2026, influencer marketing budgets have increased 171% as over 500 brands gathered at the annual Clarion Events summit focused on creator partnerships.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when budgets move this fast in an industry, it's because measurement is working and competitors are chasing. The play: if you have not yet tested a 10-creator seeding campaign (send product, no script, measure sales lift and TikTok reach), run one in the next 30 days on a 5,000 budget. Recruit creators with 10k–100k followers. Measure sales during the creator window (2 weeks post-send) against baseline. If you see a 3x+ lift on a seeding cost, you now have a playbook to 10x into next quarter. The 171% budget increase is proof the market clears at this price point.\nWhat that means for you: A 171% budget jump over two years is not hype; it's habit formation. Brands have enough data now to prove creator seeding works better than paid ads for DTC. If you're still running Facebook ads at scale, you're behind. Start small (5–10 creators, one product, one month), measure obsessively, then scale the winners.\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 — MSN: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a8c86cb94c34e699cf68dcd5080e3c6&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.msn.com%2fen-us%2fmoney%2feconomy%2finfluencer-marketing-budgets-up-171-as-500-brands-convene-at-creator-economy-live-east%2far-AA28YtcO&c=6872663481012926403&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
