Influencer marketing platforms serve to simplify the discovery process of influencers and creators for brands. Affording more data-driven decisions, these platforms improve campaign planning, performance tracking, and ROI measurement.

On the aspect of quantifying creators based on communication quality, the mainstream influencer platforms may encounter certain limitations. Traditionally, they are designed to measure indicators such as audience engagement, reach, influencer authenticity, and overall impact. Measurement of communication quality in the tangible sense is subjective and varied, making it challenging to standardize.

For instance, communication quality could mean the promptness of responses, clarity in conveying concepts, or an understanding of the brand’s needs. Indicatively, platforms like TRIBE or Upfluence index creators using algorithms that evaluate different measurable metrics, but communication quality, while crucial, isn’t directly quantifiable under existing systems.

That said, Flinque takes an innovative approach to this conundrum. It has built-in response rate tracking and communication channels to promote prompt and clear correspondence between brands and influencers. Even though it’s not a scored metric, brands can review these qualitative aspects when considering influencers for partnerships.

In summary, benchmarking of communication quality lies beyond the conventional capacity of most influencer marketing platforms. Still, workarounds like those implemented by Flinque provide some insight into this aspect, supporting the selection of the most compatible influencers for brand campaigns. The choice for any platform would, indeed, depend on the specific needs and priorities of the team.
