Over the past few months, I’ve spoken with many teams managing real marketing budgets.
They all say the same thing: - Creators are great for brand awareness - But it’s still unclear how that turns into actual sales - Even with more budget, it’s hard to justify spending more on creator collaborations
Creators tell a similar story: - Most deals are one-off fees based on follower count - This pushes growth over content quality. They want to focus on contents. - And makes consistent revenue hard, especially for nano and micro creators
So both sides are stuck.
What we did differently;
We recently ran a collaboration with: - a Korean personal color analysis supplier - and a travel-focused creator
The goal wasn’t awareness. It was sales. - Creators earn from revenue, not just fees - Suppliers measure success by sales, not impressions - Good performance unlocks more budget

What we did differently;
We recently ran a collaboration with:
- a Korean personal color analysis supplier
- and a travel-focused creator
The goal wasn’t awareness.
It was sales.
- Creators earn from revenue, not just fees
- Suppliers measure success by sales, not impressions
- Good performance unlocks more budget
Results:
- Creator reel: www.instagram.com/p/DUXs5w7EjyO/
- Sales product page: link.docentpro.com/9D7XjT0Or0b
The creator has ~100K followers.
Strong engagement. Real sales. The supplier is happy and willing to pay more for collaboration marketing.
This model works for the other travel sectors too:
hotels, activities, experiences, tours.
If you’re:
- a brand that wants creator collaborations to drive revenue
- or a creator struggling to convert great content into sales
Let’s talk.
Brand awareness isn’t dead.
Brand-only creator marketing is.
