After talking to several marketing agencies running influencer marketing, we found that there are two big issues they all face:

1) It's difficult to manage influencers

Finding influencers, checking their stats, picking the right campaigns for them is frustrating. Keeping track of everybody in a spreadsheet is not efficient enough.

The follower count for each influencer & social media have to be kept up to date manually and without search, finding the right influencer for the campaign is complicated.

2) Gathering proof of the campaign performance

Most agencies simply ask the influencers to send them screenshots of the posts they created. The insights then copied into spreadsheets, added up and ROI is calculated.

This is obviously time-consuming and not particularly accurate. Insights change all the time for most posts and keeping track of deliverables via screenshots always ends up being a mess.
