Which reviewers genuinely fit the work?

A large general audience is not automatically useful for a specialist book. Compare reader fit and review conditions before audience size.

Scope assurance

Influencer & Review Campaigns: responsibilities and limits.

Outreach does not guarantee participation, a favourable review or a particular rating. Reviews must reflect the reviewer’s own assessment; the campaign is not a purchase of praise.

Project fit

Is this the right stage for influencer & review campaigns?

Which reviewers and communities genuinely fit the project?

Strong fit

  • ✓ A book or project with a clear audience and usable outreach materials
  • ✓ Acceptance that reviewers and creators make their own participation decisions

Not a fit

  • × A request to manufacture positive reviews
  • × Choosing contacts solely by follower count without subject relevance

How do you choose influencers, creators, reviewers, or book bloggers for my campaign?

Stonebridge looks for audience fit first. The creator, reviewer, or community should have a real connection to the client's book, product, subject, or target market. We consider content quality, audience relevance, engagement, platform, geography, and how the collaboration supports the wider campaign. A smaller creator with the right audience can be more useful than a large account that has no meaningful relationship with the subject.

How do you verify that a creator's audience and engagement are genuine?

Stonebridge reviews the creator's public activity, consistency, engagement patterns, audience relevance, content quality, and whether the interaction around the account appears natural. We do not rely on follower count alone. The purpose is to avoid spending campaign budget on inflated numbers that do not represent a real audience. Where the campaign involves reviews, Stonebridge also focuses on reviewers and communities that are actually relevant to the book or product rather than generic review volume.

How much does an influencer or review campaign cost, and are creator fees included?

The investment depends on the number and level of creators or reviewers, platform, audience size, content requirements, campaign duration, and whether paid creator fees are part of the scope. Stonebridge confirms those costs after the campaign is designed. Some projects use outreach and relationship-based opportunities; others include paid creator partnerships. The proposal should make it clear which fees are included and which external costs require separate approval.

Can I approve the creators and campaign content before anything goes live?

Yes. Stonebridge can provide the proposed creators, reviewers, campaign direction, and required client-produced or Stonebridge-produced content for approval before launch. Where a creator is producing independent content or a genuine review, the client cannot reasonably control the person's opinion simply because the campaign introduced the product. Stonebridge separates approval of the partnership and factual materials from buying or scripting a positive review.

Who owns or can reuse the content created during an influencer campaign?

That depends on the creator agreement and the project scope. Stonebridge confirms whether the client is receiving reposting rights, advertising rights, raw files, limited campaign use, or another usage arrangement. The client should not assume that paying a creator automatically transfers every copyright or gives permanent advertising rights. Stonebridge's own approved campaign materials remain client-owned under the standard ownership approach, while third-party creator rights are handled through the relevant agreement.

How are influencer and review campaign results measured?

Stonebridge measures the agreed campaign outputs, which can include creator participation, content publication, reach, views, engagement, referral traffic, review visibility, audience activity, and other written metrics. For book campaigns, we may also monitor retailer movement, reader-platform activity, and wider visibility. Stonebridge does not guarantee that a creator's audience will purchase or that a reviewer will leave a positive review. The campaign guarantee applies to the contracted deliverables and written visibility outputs.
