In this episode of Influence At Scale, we sat down with one of our clients, TP-Link, to review how the brand evolved its influencer program from an awareness-first, high-volume strategy to a performance engine powered by curated creators, strategic paid amplification, and a clear measurement framework. Along the way, we share what earns leadership buy-in and what makes an agency x brand partnership actually work.

Key takeaways:

• Moving from a high-volume to a curated, brand-aligned creator strategy
• Building long-term brand ambassadors across niches
• Expanding beyond tech into lifestyle and home DIY
• Matching creator narratives to distinct product needs
• Adding paid amplification to extend reach and prove ROI
• Redefining performance beyond last click
• Turning audience insights into future briefs
• Securing leadership support with clear results
