I've led million $$$ creator campaigns, I'm a creator myself, and I'm giving a FREE digital talk on the future of the creator economy for brands!
My pals at @Bazaarvoice asked me to kick off Day 2 of their FREE digital conference this year (you're gonna hear me say free a lot because I genuinely love when companies offer free educational resources). My talk's on the future of creator partnerships & how your brand can get ahead of the industry trends, get more effectiveness with creators, and make your life easier.
But honestly, the whole agenda's pretty cool—you don't really see free two-day digital conferences very often? Plus, you'll look smart when you tell your boss you're educating yourself (take notes and send them around your team for bonus points).
