Working with influential moms to get compelling content for your brand doesn’t have to be so hard!


Does this sound familiar?

  • You want to work with influential mom creators but have no idea where to start or how to find the RIGHT ones for your brand
  • You painstakingly send out products to moms in exchange for content only to receive lackluster photos or boring unboxing videos
  • You are busy trying to run and market your brand and just don’t have the time to find, vet and manage influencers
  • You contact influencer marketing agencies and are turned away due to budget, treated like a number, or it’s just plain confusing what exactly it is they offer and how it will help
  • You’re willing to pay for influencer marketing but have absolutely no idea of the ROI or results you’re getting when you do
  • You got excited when a mom influencer asked for your product but then she went radio silent and ghosted you
  • You sent out your car seat or infant sleeping product, only to receive content that you can’t use because it ignores safety guidelines

Gugu Guru and our robust community of mom creators can help!

FIND THE PLAN THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU

What brands are saying

"Finding influencers that understand the nuances of each social media platform, AND can create high-quality, engaging content, AND has an infant in a very specific age range, AND can deliver assets on time is a tall order.  Thankfully Gugu Guru has a rolodex of diverse, dependable, and creative parents who will deliver exactly what you are looking for."

Amie Stanton

Director of Brand Engagement and Cause

"We’ve worked with the Gugu Guru team on several collaborations over the years and they have always been a great partner. Recently, we’ve brought them on board to help curate content, working with their mom creators on new product launches. The quality and creativity has been amazing - we’ve been so impressed, we just kicked off a new campaign this month!"

Ashley Gambrel

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which offering is right for my brand?

Though there are no hard & fast rules here, new & emerging small brands with small teams as well as solopreneurs tend to benefit from the Momtok Mini Campaign. It is the most budget-friendly way to get started and gain easy access to our community of creators.  For brands that are slightly more established and would like launch an ambassador program, Word of Mom is the best fit. For brands that need Instagram influencers, a larger scale campaign or an extension to the brand’s in-house team for UGC and/or influencer marketing efforts, the custom campaign is the best option.

How does all of this work?

Once you select the plan that is right for you, Gugu Guru begins the onboarding process. If you select the Momtok Mini or Word of Mom Campaigns, you will receive a welcome email with next steps. If you select the custom influencer campaign option, you will be contacted by a Gugu Guru associate to collect more information and determine how we can best help you.

How much would a custom campaign cost?

The cost of a custom campaign depends on a number of factors.  For example, the number of mom creators involved, if there is a desired minimum following of the influencer, what type of social amplification is desired by the brand and the type and frequency of content that is promoted.

What is the difference between UGC (User Generated Content) and Influencer Marketing?

User generated content (UGC) is content produced by a creator that is intended for use only on the brand’s channels.  Influencer marketing produces content that is shared to an influencer’s channels with the intention of promoting the brand to the influencer’s respective audience.

Why don't you have UGC-only packages?

Our Momtok and Word of Mom campaigns offer the benefit of content PLUS social media promotion.  If you’d like to waive the promotional aspect of these packages, that’s entirely up to you!

Can I choose or have a say in my creators or influencers?

Creators and influencers apply to work with you and you have 100% control over what mom creators and influencers you do (or don’t!) work with. You can choose to work with some, all or none. Gugu Guru will select from a carefully curated list of creators that match your exact target.  We typically over-recruit for our brand campaigns so that brands have options. 

What about local creators? 

We can certainly help you find local creators for geo-specific campaigns. Depending on the desired location and demographic profile, this may increase costs.

What if I already work with an influencer marketing agency?

We often partner with in-house teams as an extension of the team to expand and scale efforts. In-house teams can benefit from our large network of influencers, experts and adjacent / non-competitive brands. However, if you already have someone on-staff and you’re happy with the results you’re getting, you may not need our services.  

I already have someone in-house that finds influencers, why do I also need Gugu Guru?

If you already have someone on-staff and you’re happy with the results you’re getting, you may not need our services.  We often partner with in-house teams to expand efforts. In-house teams can benefit from our large network of influencers, experts and adjacent / non-competitive brands.

What types of brands benefit the most from your services?

Brands that offer innovative products or services requiring more education and storytelling in the content or brands that need to bulk up before a big product launch tend to be the brands that benefit the most from our services. We also specialize in partnering with brands that have to meet specific safety and compliance requirements in their content. If you have a very straightforward product, like a t-shirt, and you simply need more content, there are other more cost-effective platforms you can utilize for UGC like Billo, JoinBrands, Insense, Social Cat or Mini Social.

At this time, I don’t have the budget for content creators or influencer marketing – is there any other way I can work with your Mom Creator community?

Yes! You can submit your product for a gifted campaign listing. When you list your brand, moms will apply to create content about your product or service.  Once you receive applications, you have 100% control over what mom creators and influencers you do (or don’t!) work with. You can choose to work with some, all or none. Gugu Guru is not involved in the process beyond sharing the opportunity with our creators and sending the list of interested creators to you.

I'm just looking for simple social proof content, like testimonials and unboxings - is that something you can help with?

For this type of simple UGC and social proof content, you can leverage our gifted campaign listing service. If you’re looking for content of this type at scale, we suggest looking into apps and services such as Billo, JoinBrands, Insense, Social Cat or Mini Social.

What about usage rights for User Generated Content (UGC)?

Our team handles the entire process of transferring licensing rights for the UGC we deliver to you – including use for organic social, paid social, websites, print, and more.

How is Mom Creators different from an Influencer Marketing or Creator Management Platform?

Many popular influencer marketing or creator management platforms are self-serve and while they offer the tools to manage the process - the vetting, negotiations and communication are left up to the brand.  Moreover, other platforms and services can’t filter mom creators & influencers at specific stages of motherhood quickly or efficiently. Our services take care of everything from start to finish. We find trusted creators that meet your target profile to make GREAT content for your brand.

What about reporting?

Gugu Guru provides reports tailored to your specific campaign objectives.
