Influencer Marketing lebt von Ehrlichkeit. Von Menschen mit Ecken und Kanten, die offen ihre Überzeugung teilen. Diesen Menschen will INSTINCT3 zur Seite stehen und ihnen ermöglichen, ihr volles Potential zu entfalten. Ihnen ermöglichen sich weiterzuentwickeln und den schwierigen Spagat zwischen Professionalität und Disziplin sowie Freiheit und Kreativität zu meistern. Uns ist wichtig, dass du clever, aufgeschlossen und Expert*in in deinem Fachgebiet bist. Oder dich dazu entwickeln möchtest. Irrelevant dagegen ist für uns dein Geschlecht, deine Hautfarbe, deine Herkunft, deine religiösen Ansichten, deine sexuelle Orientierung oder der Fakt, dass du Ananas auf deiner Pizza magst. Wir unterstützen Vielfalt, Inklusion sowie Individualität und freuen uns auf dich. Es wäre super, wenn du Azeroth nicht als Mitglied der Allianz durchquerst - da hört der Spaß nämlich auf. INSTINCT3 bietet keine Kampagnen von der Stange. Unser Anspruch ist es, den Zielen und Interessen unseren Kund*innen gerecht zu werden, ohne die individuellen Stärken, Schwächen und Wünsche der einzelnen Influencer*innen außer Acht zu lassen. Nur so entstehen erfolgreiche Kampagnen für die unsere Influencer*innen gerne einstehen.
