Note: In this playbook I often use the term “influencer” and “creator” interchangeably. Businesses seem to use the former while creators tend to prefer the latter.

About Mike Newton
Hey, I’m Mike.
I got my start in influencer marketing when I built the influencer marketing program at Discord. When I started, we had a handful of Twitch streamers on short-term contracts. By the time I handed off the program, we had partnered with over 20 of the Top 100 Twitch Streamers, and more than 300 YouTube creators worldwide.
The result: Millions of new users added to the Discord platform.
Since then, I’ve gone on to build more influencer programs at 8-figure and 9-figure ecommerce companies like NZXT and Fellow. I’ve had my fair share of success and failures over the years and I’ve tried to pack them all into this playbook.
If you want to experiment with influencers or take your current program and scale it, my step-by-step guide will show you exactly how.
