Brands often jump into influencer marketing by sending products, negotiating on the fly, and hoping content performs. Without structure, campaigns become inconsistent, creators are overpaid, and worst of all, you waste your time and money.
This course will keep you from making costly mistakes and help you grow your business by teaching you how to run influencer marketing properly in-house.
Start here to understand how the course is structured, what to expect, how to complete it and use the materials effectively to get the most value from it.
This module introduces the core fundamentals of influencer marketing to prepare you for hands-on execution in the following modules.
Now that you have learned the fundamentals of influencer marketing, it is time to move into how it works in real life and learn how to plan, execute, and track campaigns.
Now that you have learned all the steps involved in planning a campaign end to end, it is time to recap and see how everything comes together, when to do each step, and when to use the templates and tracking files.
This section includes a reference index of all tracking file and how to walkthroughs already covered throughout the course. They are listed here separately so you can easily revisit them while planning and executing influencer campaigns.
-Fiorella Picado
I’ve spent the past eight years building and running influencer marketing programs from the ground up, working directly with brands, creators, and in-house teams across different markets in Europe, the UK, and North America.
During that time, I’ve seen the same challenges repeat themselves: brands wanting to use influencer marketing, but lacking structure, clarity, and confidence in how to actually run it.
I created The Influencer Marketing Starter to solve that exact problem. It brings together the frameworks, workflows, and systems I use professionally, simplified and structured so founders and small teams can apply them themselves, without relying on agencies or making costly beginner mistakes.
This course is designed to make influencer marketing feel doable, not intimidating.
Head of E-commerce at Vice Golf
"Vice Golf had a handful of informal influencer deals before Fio came in and built a professional program from the ground up. Starting with the legal framework and progressing to a full-funnel strategy, she created all the foundations of what is now a key growth pillar for our business.
She sourced brand ambassadors who are still with us today, closed countless regular barter deals, and implemented the Superfiliate platform on our new Shopify site. This is now scaling like crazy along with our TikTok Shop presence. We also enriched our performance marketing content with hundreds, if not thousands, of influencer cuts - thanks to the detailed media rights deals that Fio negotiated. A true expert in her field!"
Talent Manager at Dulcedo
"I have worked with Fiorella over the course of two years, while she was representing the brand sponsoring a talent I represented. She was incredible with negotiations, being thoughtful, tough but fair, balancing the brand's goals while also understand the realistic needs of the talent. We communicated almost daily on different time zones, she was extremely thorough, clear and creative with all of her communications. We also collaborated to help elevate the brand and talent simultaneously, tackling prestigious projects as a team. Personally, I work with huge global brands and agencies daily, and none compare to the level of proficiency I experienced working with Fiorella. Looking forward to working together on another project with her in the future."
VP Brand Communications & Partnerships at Fabletics
"Fiorella built our UK influencer program from the ground up, creating a structured and scalable strategy that significantly elevated the region’s performance. She developed the full paid program and later also brought our mircro influencer seeding campaigns under her ownership to ensure a cohesive, market-focused approach. Fiorella played a key role in discovering and nurturing ambassadors who went on to become central faces of the brand. Her work was highly cross-functional, integrating influencer content into paid social, personalized landing pages, and broader marketing initiatives. She also supported and mentored the Savage X Fenty UK team, helping them integrate seamlessly into our workflows. Her ability to combine strategic vision with strong relationships and operational clarity made a lasting contribution to our influencer organization. Besides her undoubted functional skills, Fiorella has a great personality which makes it a great joy, both for the teammates, but also cross-functional counterparts to be working with her. I would rehire Fiorella anytime, but she chose Munich."
