    Content creation process for Micro
    After determining content needs using a mood board approach, the right influencers or customers are chosen. You can incentivize customers in order to use their content in ads.

    Using customer shared posts without offering compensation
    While it can be done, it really boils down to attribution. Permission should be sought to reuse both customer content and content from influencers to protect your brand.
