2. STREAMLINING THE CREATOR X BRAND RELATIONSHIP

    

   Instagram is testing a new "Creator Insights" feature (screenshot below) which I’m personally stoked for. It lets creators share their analytics so brand accounts can view certain performance metrics i.e. follower growth, reach, and engagement from the past 30 days.

   The goal: to make creators more appealing ($$) to brands for paid campaigns while giving brands more first-party visibility into the creators they want to collaborate with. Creators can choose to share this data, similar to IG Creator Marketplace, so if you’re in a content slump, you can turn it off. But if you’re hitting a stride and want to highlight your metrics to brands, this feature can do that. It’s a win-win and I’m excited to test it.
