Replace a creator who dropped out mid-campaign

Campaign managers with a deliverable date and an empty slot.

Short answer

Start from the creator on the campaign who performed best. Run lookalike profiles from that handle, one hop, same follower range, maximum 100. Vet the top ten with insight reports for audience fit and a fair price, enrich contacts for the three best, and write to them with the deliverable, the date and the price range. Same-day replacement is realistic because every step is minutes, not days.

You need

  • The handle of your best current performer
  • The deliverable, date and budget for the slot
