    Depending on what you do not like about the video, some changes can be made by the influencer if there is an apparent fault on their end. There is only usually 2 iterations allowed. We encourage you to go through the influencer’s past videos/posts to determine if he/she is a right fit for you before the commencement of your campaign.

  • Why are they expensive?

    SushiVid has 5 years of experience working with influencers and brands. Before our existence, influencers have practiced a “anyhow-anyhow” pricing model. Nobody actually knows how to price themselves. We are here to set a guideline for our influencers and if the influencers follow our guideline, the price should be right. If you have questions on this, please reach out to your account manager.
