It’s that time of year again - our annual Zink Talent tell-all is here, and trust us, we don’t gatekeep anything. This episode is packed with insider info, practical tips, and real talk about what’s happening behind the scenes in influencer marketing and management.

Grab your iced coffee (or a glass of wine) and join me as I sit down with two of my powerhouse Zink agents, Madison Shaffer and Rose McDaniel, for a raw and revealing conversation.

We cover:

  • What brands are looking for in Q3 & how to stand out as a creator
  • Tips and tricks to attract brand deals and stay ahead in an ever-changing industry
  • When a creator is truly ready for management and what to ask when vetting agencies
  • What your management agency should be doing for you
  • Why building relationships beyond your manager’s outreach matters
  • A behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of an influencer manager
  • How to break into the industry and land your first job in influencer marketing
  • …and so much more!

Whether you're a creator, aspiring manager, or just curious about the biz, this one is a must-listen.
