**Industry Snapshot**
Exciting times for influencers and brands alike! YouTube has introduced new options to its Creator Music feature, enabling creators to manage music licensing more affordably. Plus, it now allows product highlights within live streams on mobile apps.
These updates open up new avenues for creators and brands to produce more engaging and high-quality content. Whether it's reducing licensing costs for better music accompaniment or leveraging live shopping options for broader monetisation, the opportunities are endless.
As always, the challenge lies in making the most of these new features. That's where R-Squared Agency comes in. Get in touch with us to discuss the best strategies to take advantage of YouTube's latest offerings.
**Best Practice Pointer**
It's time to rethink how you budget for influencer marketing. Rather than setting a separate budget, remember that influencer costs typically cover both production and organic distribution.
This integrated approach can offer greater agility and flexibility, helping you manage your media mix more effectively. Budget adjustments often become necessary as campaigns unfold. By considering influencer marketing within this broader context, you can respond to these changes more efficiently.

**R-Squared Showcase**
Choosing the right influencer isn't merely about popularity. It's a strategic process involving a deep understanding of the unique roles and impacts of Aspirational, Inspirational, and Relatable influencers.
Aspirational influencers, often the first choice due to their lifestyle and large followings, may not always be the best fit for every campaign. Sometimes, a more Relatable influencer, who reflects the everyday life of your target audience, can establish genuine connections and trust more effectively.
Inspirational influencers can also make a significant impact, especially for campaigns aiming to inspire change or action. They motivate their followers through compelling personal narratives.
