Sammy did an amazing job with the content.
Influencer gifting can be highly effective, especially for awareness and content generation. While paid campaigns provide guaranteed deliverables, gifting often produces more authentic storytelling and stronger audience trust. Many brands use gifting as a first step to identify high-performing creators before investing in larger paid partnerships.
Paid campaigns are ideal when brands need guaranteed reach, strict messaging control, or measurable sales conversions within a short timeframe. #gifted campaigns focus on genuine advocacy and social proof while building a diverse content gallery. If a brand prefers to brief creators with strict guidelines and deliverables, a paid campaign may be the better approach.
Yes, many brands combine both strategies, using gifting to discover creators and paid campaigns to scale proven partnerships. Many brands and creators on #gifted are running and participating in paid and contra campaigns.
Gifting typically produces more natural, relatable content because creators genuinely choose to participate. As creators opt in to campaigns on #gifted, they may be more aligned with brands and products than if they were paid or reached out to cold. This may result in stronger content that drives advocacy.
