Why this matters

Instead of relying on one massive influencer, this brand succeeded by distributing affiliate samples to over 100 micro-creators. This decentralized approach mitigates creator risk and builds broad social proof. Sellers should replicate this by scaling product seeding campaigns to mid-tier and micro-influencers.
