HOW TO CREATE KILLER CONTENT, WITHOUT THE KILLER COST
Digital Marketing Magazine
If social media feels like too much work, you’re not alone, but ignoring it altogether could be costly.
The good news? You don’t need endless hours or massive budgets to make it work; the secret, lies in partnering with creators and influencers who live and breathe these platforms.
These experts know precisely what content resonates, and new tools are making it easier than ever for brands to collaborate with them.
Three powerful forces are driving this expanding opportunity:
- Audience demand for authenticity – people crave actual, relatable content.
- The rise of mobile content creation – everyone now has a powerful content studio in their pocket, thanks to Smartphone hardware and AI tools.
- Tech platforms investing heavily in user-friendly tools – bridging the gap between brands, creators, and audiences.
Together, these trends are reshaping how brands connect with the world; don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
Influencers vs. Creators: What’s the Difference?
It’s easy to think influencers and creators are interchangeable, but they serve distinct roles in your digital marketing strategy:
- Influencers are individuals with established audiences on platforms like Instagram or TikTok. They create content featuring your brand, but it’s shared on their channels and reaches their followers. Think of influencers as ambassadors for building awareness and trust.
- Creators, on the other hand, produce high-quality content for your brand’s use. This content is designed for your website, social media, or ad campaigns, giving you complete messaging control. They’re the behind-the-scenes experts who elevate your brand’s presence.
Both strategies are crucial, but understanding how to use them is the difference between good and great marketing.
At the same time, the creator economy is reshaping how brands approach content production. Platforms like Meta’s Creator Marketplace are making it easier than ever for businesses to connect with creators who can produce authentic, high-impact content tailored to their needs.
Meta began rolling this feature out to Australian creators in businesses in early 2024. The term “Branded Content” is now referred to as “Partnership Ads”, and it’s now available for you to use.

WHY YOU NEED TO LEARN THIS
If you’ve ever thought, “Social media is too much work for me,” you’re not alone. But ignoring it all together could cost you big time.
There are ways to engage with these platforms that don’t need hours and hours of your time, or mega budgets. The key is to engage with people who know and love these platforms every day of their working week.
Creator’s and Influencers are experts in the content that works on these platforms. New tools are making it easier, and easier for brands to engage with them.
Here’s why:
Content Drives Results
Great content gets attention and builds trust, no matter how small or big your business is. But creating it yourself isn’t always realistic. That’s where influencers and creators step in. They’re not just “trendy”—they’re professionals who can effectively engage your audience.
Numbers Matter
The numbers don’t lie. In Australia, influencer marketing is no longer a niche strategy; it’s becoming essential. And it’s not just for big brands. Small and medium businesses use it to grow reach and connect with customers in ways traditional ads can’t.
Australia’s influencer marketing industry is booming. It was valued at $148 million in 2022, but with 11% year-on-year growth, recent figures now forecast it to be worth more than $800 million by the end of 2028 (Statista.com).
In Australia, Instagram still dominates this space, accounting for 85% of campaigns. However, TikTok is rapidly gaining ground and is used in 34% of campaigns.
Meta Makes it Easy
With tools like Instagram’s Creator Marketplace and Brand Collabs Manager, Meta breaks down barriers between businesses and creators. You don’t need a huge budget or a full-time marketer to start seeing results. These tools simplify collaboration, even if you’re new to the game.
Ignoring these trends isn’t just a missed opportunity; it’s a risk to your business. This issue will help you take control and unlock the power of modern content marketing.
