⚡ TLDR 

  • Creators seek seats at the strategy table.

    Influencer study shows creators prioritize content quality (their #2 focus) while brands rank it fifth, with 72% seeking meaningful long-term partnerships despite payment delays being their biggest frustration.

  • Tiny creators deliver giant results.

    New research shows micro-influencers (10K-100K followers) outperform celebrities with 3-4x higher engagement rates, creating more authentic connections as consumers increasingly value peer-level recommendations over distant celebrity endorsements.

  • Child influencer rights.

    New legislation in Utah (H.B. 322) requires 15% of child influencer earnings be placed in trust funds and grants content removal rights for adults featured as minors, addressing exploitation concerns as family influencers can earn up to $40,000 per sponsored post amid growing backlash from former child content creators.
