Lifting The Lid is the podcast where we spill the tea, dish the dirt, and *quite literally* lift the lid on everything we know, love (and sometimes hate) about the influencer industry. If you’ve ever wondered how *that* brand deal went down, what cancel culture really means or you’re looking for tips to finally monetise your following... this is the show for you. We know what we’re talking about when it comes to influencer and tbh - given it’s a billion dollar industry - not enough people are talking openly about it. We’re putting an end to that and pulling back the curtain ourselves. Each week, we’ll discuss the latest insider gossip, reveal creator stories that shook us to our core, unpack trends and industry news, and pose some questions that we all want answers to. Whether you're a content creator, die-hard influencer fan, aspiring manager, or just here for the side-eye drama... it's time to get Lifting the Lid. Hosted on Acast.
