A recent report reveals that nearly half of marketers lack visibility into creator payments. Learn how Infloso is solving the transparency gap in the creator economy.

The Transparency Gap: Why Half of Brands Don't Know What They Pay Creators

Half the brands running influencer campaigns don’t actually know what creators are being paid.

Yes, really.

A recent report found that only 51% of marketers have full visibility into creator payments. Which means the other half are running campaigns where:

• payments are bundled through agencies

• markups are unclear

• brands don’t always know what actually reaches the creator

The Transparency Gap: Why Half of Brands Don't Know What They Pay Creators

No surprise that 55% of marketers are considering changing their compensation approach. And many are exploring bringing influencer marketing in-house.

This is exactly the gap Infloso has been built to solve.

A platform where brands and creators connect directly.

Brands can communicate with creators, negotiate rates, lock deals, track deliverables and payments — all in one place.

No middlemen. No hidden margins. No guesswork.

Just clear conversations, transparent collaborations and meaningful relations.

Because in a $40B+ creator economy, transparency shouldn’t be optional.
