Frequently asked questions.

Who is this playbook for?

This playbook was written for marketers, brand teams, agencies, founders, and creators who want to understand how modern influencer campaigns are planned, executed, amplified, and reported in practice.

Whether you run campaigns in-house or work with external partners, the frameworks are designed to be directly applicable.

What topics does the playbook cover?

The playbook covers the full influencer marketing workflow, including campaign strategy, creator sourcing, briefing, content production, paid amplification, reporting, and operational campaign management.

It also explains how creator campaigns fit into broader social media and paid media strategies.

Is this about influencer marketing or UGC?

Both.

The guide explains the difference between influencer marketing, creator campaigns, UGC production, paid amplification, whitelisting, and always-on creator content systems, including when each approach makes the most sense.

Is the playbook practical or strategic?

The focus is heavily practical.

Instead of abstract marketing theory, the playbook breaks down real campaign structures, creator workflows, content systems, reporting approaches, and operational learnings from years of campaign execution.

Does this apply outside Belgium or the Netherlands?

Yes.

While some examples and platform references come from campaigns in Belgium and The Netherlands, the campaign structures, creator workflows, and strategic principles apply internationally.

How detailed is the playbook?

The playbook contains 65 pages covering everything from campaign planning and creator selection to amplification and reporting.

Each chapter combines strategic context with practical frameworks, examples, and operational insights.

Do you only cover organic campaigns?

No.

The playbook also covers paid amplification, creator whitelisting, creator-made ads, and how influencer content can be integrated into broader paid social strategies.

Can this help if we already run influencer campaigns?

Definitely.

The playbook is especially useful for teams that already run campaigns but want more structure around creator selection, workflows, amplification, reporting, and campaign operations.

Do I need to work with Adshot to use this?

No.

The playbook was created as a practical industry resource and can be used independently whether you work with Adshot or manage campaigns internally.

Why did Adshot create this playbook?

After running influencer campaigns for nearly a decade, we noticed that most online information stays very surface-level.

We wanted to document how modern creator campaigns actually work behind the scenes, from strategy and creator workflows to amplification and reporting.
