Ghosting is a relatively new term so let’s kick this off with a definition:

“To end a relationship with (someone) by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.”

This scenario typically applies to dating situations, but it also applies to brands and agencies who work with content creators. While it doesn’t happen often from a percentage standpoint (it’s well under 5% in our standard paid campaigns), it naturally happens more with brands and agencies that work with a high volume of creators on a regular basis.

Run campaigns with complete confidence and sleep better at night knowing that you won’t be haunted by ghosting. Boo!
