How to Run Influencer Marketing Workflows with ClickUp

ClickUp is a powerful workspace for planning, executing, and optimizing influencer marketing campaigns with the help of AI. This guide walks you through a practical, step-by-step process to turn your influencer strategy into an organized, repeatable workflow.

The steps below are inspired by the influencer-focused AI tools and processes described in the original ClickUp AI tools for influencer marketing article, but restructured as a clear how-to tutorial you can follow inside your workspace.

Step 1: Set Up a ClickUp Space for Influencer Marketing

Begin by creating a dedicated Space for all your influencer projects so every campaign, creator, and asset lives in one place.

1. Create a new Space and name it something like “Influencer Marketing” or “Creator Partnerships”.

2. Add key folders for your workflow, such as:

   • Campaigns

   • Influencer Pipeline

   • Content Production

   • Reporting & Analytics

3. Set basic permissions so your internal team, agencies, or partners only see the Lists they need.

This foundation keeps every activity, from outreach to reporting, organized and searchable in ClickUp.

Step 2: Use ClickUp Templates for Campaign Structure

Instead of building every campaign from scratch, use templates to standardize how you track briefs, timelines, and deliverables.

1. Create a Campaign List template that includes typical influencer tasks, for example:

   • Define campaign goals and KPIs

   • Finalize budget and incentive structure

   • Select influencers and tiers

   • Draft and approve briefs

   • Schedule content and go-live dates

   • Collect results and prepare reports

2. Add custom fields to your template for:

   • Platform (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.)

   • Campaign stage (Ideation, Negotiation, Live, Completed)

   • Budget, cost-per-post, and projected ROI

   • Key links (brief, contract, content folder)

3. Save this as a reusable template so every future campaign in ClickUp follows the same structure.

Step 3: Build an Influencer CRM in ClickUp

You can treat ClickUp like a lightweight CRM to manage your creator pipeline and relationships over time.

1. Create an “Influencer Pipeline” List with one task per influencer.

2. Add custom fields such as:

   • Handle and platform

   • Follower count and audience demographics

   • Previous collaborations and performance

   • Preferred content formats

   • Negotiated rates and usage rights

3. Use statuses to track where each creator sits in your funnel, for example: Prospect, Contacted, Negotiating, Active, On Hold, Inactive.

4. Switch to Board view to visualize your creator pipeline as a kanban board you can drag and drop between stages.

This approach keeps relationship history, negotiation notes, and performance data unified in ClickUp instead of scattered across email and spreadsheets.

Step 4: Draft Briefs and Scripts with ClickUp AI

ClickUp AI helps speed up content ideation and brief creation for your influencer campaigns.

1. Open a campaign task or a dedicated “Brief” Doc inside ClickUp.

2. Use AI to generate:

   • Campaign summaries adapted to each platform

   • Content angles that match your audience and product

   • Hook ideas for short-form videos

   • Variation ideas for A/B testing creator posts

3. Refine the AI-generated text to match your brand guidelines, tone of voice, and legal requirements.

4. Attach the final brief to each influencer’s task so they always work from the latest version.

By integrating AI directly in your workspace, ClickUp becomes a single hub for both planning and generating content guidance.

Step 5: Manage Content Production in ClickUp

Next, build a clear workflow for tracking every draft, review, and approval step.

1. Create a “Content Production” List where each task represents a specific influencer deliverable, such as one video or carousel post.

2. Use statuses like: Idea, Briefed, Draft in Progress, Internal Review, Brand Review, Approved, Scheduled, Live.

3. Add custom fields for:

   • Assigned influencer

   • Content type and format

   • Due date and go-live date

   • Link to asset folder and final URL

4. Use subtasks to outline each step in the production process, including revisions and compliance checks.

With this structure, the entire team sees what is in progress, what is blocked, and what has gone live, all inside ClickUp.

Step 6: Track Results with ClickUp Dashboards

Once posts are live, you need a clear view of performance for each influencer and campaign.

1. Add fields in your influencer or content Lists for:

   • Impressions and reach

   • Engagement rate and clicks

   • Conversions or attributed revenue

   • Cost per acquisition or cost per engagement

2. Create a Dashboard in ClickUp to visualize your data using:

   • Widgets for total reach and engagement per campaign

   • Tables summarizing performance by influencer

   • Charts comparing platforms or content formats

3. Update metrics on a regular cadence so your Dashboard becomes the single source of truth for influencer ROI.

This central view helps you quickly identify top-performing creators, content, and channels.

Step 7: Automate Repetitive Work with ClickUp

You can reduce manual busywork by adding automations that keep your influencer marketing workflow moving.

1. Set automations to update task statuses when due dates or fields change, for example:

   • When an asset link is added, move the task from “Draft in Progress” to “Internal Review”.

   • When a status becomes “Approved”, assign the task to your scheduling owner.

2. Use notifications to alert stakeholders when:

   • Deadlines are approaching

   • Content requires legal or brand review

   • Reports are ready for leadership

3. Automate recurring tasks for monthly reporting, quarterly influencer reviews, or seasonal campaigns.

These small automations inside ClickUp ensure nothing slips through the cracks as your campaign volume grows.

Step 8: Collaborate with Internal Teams in ClickUp

Influencer marketing often touches paid media, product, legal, and analytics teams. Centralizing collaboration keeps everyone aligned.

1. Use comments and mentions on tasks to route questions to the right stakeholders.

2. Attach contracts, briefs, and creative references directly to tasks so all context is available.

3. Create separate Lists or views for cross-functional partners, showing only the information they need.

4. Leverage Docs for campaign playbooks, FAQs for influencers, and internal best-practice guides.

With this setup, ClickUp becomes the shared system of record for all teams that touch your influencer efforts.

Step 9: Iterate on Your Influencer Strategy with ClickUp

Use the insights and structure you have built to refine your long-term approach.

1. Review performance Dashboards after each campaign and capture learnings in a retrospective Doc.

2. Tag or group influencers by performance tiers so you can quickly prioritize top partners.

3. Adjust your templates, statuses, and automations as your program matures.

Because your historical data stays organized in ClickUp, you can spot long-term trends across campaigns, platforms, and creators.
