Social Native, a leading UGC and influencer content solution provider, announced that it is expanding its enterprise offering by introducing Creator Discovery™. The new feature enables brands to have further autonomy over the influencer selection process by externalizing advanced targeting tools to uncover the best-fitting creators for their goals.

The release uses first-party creator data meaning more accuracy, reliability, and creator consent for brands. Social Native has long operated as a first-party creator platform, which is notable amidst the influencer marketing industry’s growing concern of third-party data usage that has led top companies like Grin scrambling to make the shift.

Creator Discovery™ aims to solve some of the top influencer marketing challenges brands face. Over 68% of marketers have difficulty finding and onboarding relevant influencers, and 30% of marketers experience issues negotiating terms.
