On the 1st of March 2017, the AANA released a set of guidelines advising influencers on how they should disclose to their audience when they’re being paid to talk about a brand. These are still just guidelines but it’s our recommendation to follow these in the interest in transparency for influencer marketing.

So if you are an influencer or if you’re a brand working with an influencer, what should you do? The guidelines state that if there has been any involvement with the brand, in relation to the creative, the messaging or the content, it should be disclosed as an ad. It’s super easy to do this, just hashtag (#) #ad or #sponsored or #gifted.

We’ve actually written a super helpful blog article over on scrunch.com which I’ll link in the description of this video, but if you need anymore influencer marketing tips and tricks, check us out at scrunch.com and subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
