Influencer Managing & Six-Figure Fees
This week, we’re in London with the digital powerhouse herself — Esther! With nearly a decade of experience in content strategy and influencer management, Esther has worked with some of the biggest brands in the game: Twitter, Meta, McCain, Booking.com, the Olympics, and Virgin Atlantic (just to name a few).
From managing six-figure influencer budgets to hiring ex–Love Islanders, Esther pulls back the curtain on what really goes down in influencer managing. Ever wondered how much the average influencer makes? Listen to find out!
We also get into:
- The pay gap between US vs. UK influencers
- Brand demands that will make your jaw drop
- Why diversity and authenticity matter more than ever
If the internet had a backstage pass, Esther would be running the show. Let’s get into it!
