How I’m Using AI to Build Better Influencer Relationships (Without Losing the Human Touch)

Influencer marketing today isn’t just about discovery — it’s about managing long-term, authentic relationships that drive real results.

The challenge? Most influencer workflows are still messy, manual, and disconnected. I’ve worked in this space long enough to know the pain of spreadsheet chaos, forgotten email threads, and generic briefs. But lately, I’ve been using AI tools to clean up the clutter — without losing the personal touch that makes influencer partnerships actually work.

Here’s how AI is transforming my approach to influencer relationship management, from discovery to CRM.

AI-Powered Influencer Discovery: Finding the Right Creators Without the Scroll Fatigue

We’ve all been there: spending hours scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, trying to build a shortlist of “maybe” influencers. It’s inefficient and usually leads to the same top 10 names everyone else is pitching.

Now, I use ChatGPT to surface hyper-niche influencers who are actually aligned with the brand’s audience and tone — before I even open Instagram.

With the right prompts, AI can help:

• Identify creators by niche keywords, content themes, and target demographics
• Filter for real engagement, not just follower count
• Reduce hours of manual research into minutes

From Brainstorm to Brief: Collaborating with Creators Using AI

Here’s the truth: most influencer content underperforms because the brief is created without the influencer’s input.

Brands send over a template and expect magic. That’s not a partnership — that’s a task list.

Here’s what I’m doing instead:

• Fathom AI captures notes from my calls with influencers so I can focus on the conversation
• ChatGPT helps me turn those notes into clear, co-created content briefs
• I use AI to highlight brand-influencer alignment points — shared language, audience match, content style — and bake that into the brief

When the creator helps shape the concept, the content hits harder — and needs fewer revisions.
