Measuring Influencer Campaign Results: UTMs, Promo Codes, and Post-Campaign Reporting
By NexusOne Strategy Desk (Regional Campaign Planning Team) · Published
Effective post-campaign reporting separates surface impressions from meaningful buyer actions. Before a single creator publishes, establish which metrics correspond to your primary campaign objective.
1. Awareness & Creative Resonance Metrics
Track unique reach, video views, average watch time, and—most importantly on Instagram and TikTok—Saves and Shares, which indicate that viewers found the content useful enough to bookmark or send to a friend.
2. Direct Traffic & Conversion Attribution
Assign every creator a unique UTM link (`utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=story&utm_campaign=launch&utm_content=creator_handle`) for Story and bio links alongside an individual promo code to capture view-through checkouts.
3. Turning Learnings Into Your Next Wave
Compare cost-per-view and cost-per-click across creators and opening hooks so your next campaign doubles down on the formats and voices that outperformed.
