Fan Edit Marketing vs Influencer Marketing

Fan edit marketing focuses on creator-made edits that make a subject feel culturally exciting, while influencer marketing usually focuses on a creator endorsing or talking about a product. Fan edit campaigns often perform best when the creative object itself can become the content.
