Campaign architecture

Not a creator list. A city booking system.

The creator mix is built to move travellers from inspiration to trust to action, while giving Carpe Diem Tours usable content across its strongest destinations.

3

First-wave cities

Rome, London and Barcelona are prioritized because they match the strongest portfolios and most immediate campaign value.

5

Creator partners

A focused shortlist across local expertise, global travel reach, US/UK audiences and city-guide authority.

3

Campaign goals

Awareness, booking intent and reusable content are built into the same plan instead of treated separately.

1

Recommended route

The Growth Package gives Carpe Diem Tours the strongest balance between market coverage and spend control.

Commercial logic

Why this mix works for Carpe Diem Tours.

01

Local authority

Rome and Barcelona need creators who feel native to the city, not generic travel voices.

02

Traveller demand

US and international travellers need trusted planning creators who influence what gets booked before arrival.

03

Multi-platform attention

Instagram, TikTok, Stories and optional long-form layers help convert both discovery and consideration.

04

Content value

The campaign creates social proof and assets that can support future city pages, paid ads and organic content.

Recommended routes

Three ways to spend the budget.

All pricing below is shown as creator activation cost. Paid usage rights, whitelisting and extended licensing can be quoted separately if needed.

Execution path

Simple, controlled and client-ready.

MDNfluence manages the creator process so Carpe Diem Tours has a clean approval flow and does not need to coordinate each creator directly.

Step 01

Approve route

Confirm Starter, Growth or Premium and select any city priority changes.

Step 02

Confirm creators

MDNfluence re-confirms availability, final rates, timings and scope.

Step 03

Briefing

Creator brief, tour details, key talking points and approval requirements are aligned.

Step 04

Go live

Creators publish content across agreed channels and story windows.

Step 05

Report

Campaign performance, content links, screenshots and next-route recommendations are shared.

Included in every route

What MDNfluence manages.

This is not just creator sourcing. The route includes the commercial coordination needed to make the campaign smooth.

01

Creator coordination

Availability checks, scope alignment, rate management and creator communication.

02

Brief structure

Messaging, content angle, deliverable clarity, disclosure requirements and campaign guardrails.

03

Approval flow

Clear next steps so Carpe Diem Tours can approve the route without operational back-and-forth.

04

Reporting

Post-campaign recap with creator links, screenshots, performance highlights and next-stage recommendations.

Creator availability, final deliverables, usage rights, paid ads, whitelisting and exclusivity remain subject to final creator confirmation and written campaign agreement.

Payment structure

Suggested payment milestones.

Creator work is not released until payment milestones are complete. This protects both the brand and creator workflow.

70%

Before creator confirmation

Due before MDNfluence formally locks creators, briefs them, and begins campaign coordination.

30%

3 days after posts go live

Due after scheduled campaign content has gone live, unless a different milestone structure is agreed in writing.
