Lesson 1

Creator KPIs

Objective

Choose the right KPI for a creator campaign based on its actual goal.

Teach
Match the KPI to the campaign objective (Module 5) — an awareness-focused creator campaign should be judged on reach/impressions, not immediate sales, while a conversion-focused one should track actual attributed sales.
Real-World Example
Judging an awareness-stage creator campaign by immediate sales alone misreads what the campaign was actually designed to do.
Common Mistake
Using the same KPI (usually sales) to judge every creator campaign regardless of its actual objective.
Practical Exercise

State the specific KPI that matches your next planned creator campaign's objective.

Attribution (Creator Campaigns)

Objective

Trace results back to a specific creator campaign using the tools from Module 29.

Teach
Use unique UTM links, discount codes or affiliate links per creator so results can be attributed to the specific partnership — without this, it's impossible to tell which creator actually drove results.
Real-World Example
Giving each creator a unique discount code lets you directly attribute sales to their specific partnership.
Common Mistake
Running multiple creator campaigns with no way to distinguish which one drove which result.
Practical Exercise

Plan a unique tracking method (UTM, code, or link) for your next creator partnership.

Campaign Reporting (Creators)

Objective

Report on a creator campaign clearly, connecting spend to results.

Teach
A creator campaign report should show cost, deliverables, reach/engagement, and (where tracked) attributed conversions — following the same insight-into-action structure from Module 30.
Real-World Example
"Creator X: ₦150,000 spend, 1 Reel, 45,000 reach, 320 clicks, 12 attributed sales" gives a complete picture for the next decision.
Common Mistake
Reporting only reach/engagement without connecting it back to cost and, where possible, conversions.
Practical Exercise

Creator Retention

Objective

Decide when to repeat a partnership with a creator vs. try someone new.

Teach
A creator who performed well and was easy to work with is often worth a repeat, longer-term partnership — repeat partnerships also tend to feel more authentic to the creator's audience over time.
Real-World Example
An audience seeing the same trusted creator mention a brand repeatedly over months tends to believe the endorsement more than a one-off mention.
Common Mistake
Always seeking new creators for every campaign instead of building longer relationships with proven partners.
Practical Exercise

If you've worked with any creator before, decide whether they're a repeat-partnership candidate and why.

Repeat creator partnerships tend to

Lesson 5

Long-Term Partnerships

Objective

Structure an ongoing creator relationship, not just one-off campaigns.

Teach
A long-term partnership (regular cadence, evolving briefs, deeper product knowledge from the creator) often produces more authentic content and better economics than constantly onboarding new creators.
Real-World Example
A creator who becomes genuinely familiar with your product over months can speak about it more credibly than someone briefed once for a single post.
Common Mistake
Treating every creator relationship as a one-off transaction instead of considering a longer-term structure.
Practical Exercise

Sketch what a 6-month creator partnership structure could look like for your brand.

Lesson Checkpoint

Long-term creator partnerships often produce
