Does a lack of transparency increase the risk of marketing mistakes?
Quick answer
A lack of transparency is a direct route to avoidable mistakes. If you cannot see a creator's real audience or the terms are vague, you are deciding blind, which is how inflated followers and mismatched deals slip through. Clear audience data and written terms remove most of that risk before it reaches the campaign.
Whether a lack of transparency, in data or in terms, makes marketing mistakes more likely.
