Challenge #1:
Match creator portfolio to target group

To start with, Bears with Benefits faced the challenges of finding the perfect match of creator portfolio to target group whilst taking in the current internet trends.

Challenge #2:
Divide performance data into numbers & performance

Secondly, they needed to validate their gut feeling with numbers as this serves as a basis for negotiations with the creators, and a benchmark for their performance KPIs.
