23. Whitelisting grants brands advertising access to an
influencer’s account. This allows brands to use the
influencer’s handle for their ads.
Whitelisting is a win-win for both brands and creators. Both
parties have access to performance metrics of the
whitelisted post. Brands can get key insights into running
successful campaigns and creators can understand what
type of content resonates. Not to mention, whitelisting builds
trust between brands and creators, elevating the relationship
and paving the way for more authentic ads.

“As a beauty blogger living
in a small NYC apartment, I
need all the storage help I
can find.”
“Now that my kids are going
back to school part-time,
misplacing things is at an
all-time high! The travel
organizers are my saving
grace for their school
supplies.”
“The dirty side of being a
fashion influencer - the
constant laundry! Here are my
must have products that
makes laundry time a little
less stressful.”
“An organized mudroom
brought to you by my favorite
storage brand. Even the dog
has her own cubby!”
“Name a better feeling than
when all your beauty products
are organized under your sink
and out of sight...I’ll wait.”
