the challenge

Finding the tools to go from 0-300 content creators

Danny had to build True Citrus’ influencer program from the ground up. Since he was starting from scratch, Danny had to find a solution to streamline the process of uncovering net-new creators to represent the brand. He also needed a way to perform outreach at scale and send products to all the new partners.

the goal

Building a large influencer roster quickly 

True Citrus has an influencer marketing team of two led by Assistant Brand Manager Danny Marken. Shortly after Danny inherited the influencer program, his boss came to him with the lofty goal of scaling to at least 300 creators in a single quarter. That meant Danny needed to build a large roster in a hurry and get creators posting content as soon as possible.

“I go directly to Curated Lists every single two weeks. It is my absolute favorite feature. I did not realize that I needed it until it was already a thing.”

— Danny Marken, Assistant Brand Manager at True Citrus
