The takeaways
What you will learn
Creator campaigns are usually judged in their first week, on reach and engagement. In AI search they can run much longer: answer engines read LinkedIn posts and YouTube videos from creators, and a sponsored post can keep showing up as a cited source after the campaign wraps.
This session looks at creator marketing through that lens. We’ll use Petra Labs citation data to show which creator content gets cited and what the cited posts have in common, then walk through how a creator program changes when AI visibility is one of its goals.
You’ll leave with a way to brief creators for content that gets cited, and a way to measure creator campaigns past reach and clicks.
Save your seat and bring your questions for the live Q&A.
