In the context of influencer marketing, there's a big difference between an influencer and a celebrity. My definition of that difference has always been that an influencer is someone who built an audience on social media by creating content on social media. A celebrity is someone who built an audience on social media because of something else. They're an actor. Or singer. Or politician. Or athlete. Social media content is not their primary thing. Now, before I go further, let me circle back to the very premise of this show and my approach to influence marketing. An influencer, broadly defined, is someone who can persuade an audience to take action. That can be someone offline. Not on social media. But for the sake of this discussion, we're confining the definition to a social media influencer. So celebrities have big audiences on social media, but not necessarily because of their social media. However, celebrity social media can be quite compelling and certainly advantageous to their career and visibility if managed properly. A lot of times, that's where Cassie Petrey comes in. She is the CEO of CrowdSurf. It is an entertainment industry firm that handles social media content for big stars like Britney Spears, Camila Cabello and The BackStreet Boys. Cassie founded Crowd Surf with a friend after managing MySpace pages for country music stars back in the mid-2000s. She came to prominence in the music industry and quickly realized there was opportunity in handling these emerging online content platforms for the stars. That was 17 years ago. It's that depth of experience with celebrities and social media that compelled me to ask Cassie to come on the show. It's insightful for us to hear what the upper echelon of creators are doing, even if they aren't the types of creators we in the influencer space are typically dealing with. Winfluence is made possible by Cipio.ai – The Community Commerce Marketing platform. What does that mean? It's an influencer marketing software solution, but it has additional apps that function to tap into your brand community to drive commerce. Community Commerce Marketing moves beyond influencers to fans and followers, customers, employees and more. With Cipio.ai, you get the vital social media discovery and data you need for your typical influencer marketing effort. But additional apps help you uncover raving fans in your own community to increase sales, retention and engagement. The best thing about Cipio.ai? You can start using it for free. Influencer discovery and list building doesn't cost a thing. Go to jasonfalls.co/cipio and see the software that was so good, I joined the team. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jade Driver and Cassie Petrey are back with Season 3 of HIGBS!

Cassie got her life organized and Jade jogged a few blocks. There's a long road ahead to getting everyone in the music industry back to their normal paying gigs, but until we can be backstage, on stage, side stage or in front of the stage again, we'll keep that spirit alive on this podcast! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/how-i-got-backstage/support

Cassie Petrey is co-founder of Crowd Surf, a digital marketing company providing catered and specialized marketing services to a roster of massive stars, everyone from Guns N Roses to Backstreet Boys, Fifth Harmony to Britney Spears. At age 12, Petrey ran an AOL Backstreet Boys newsletter that had over 10,000 subscribers, which led to being a serial super fan of several different artists.By age 17, she landed a job at Warner Music Group as a College Representative. Shortly after signing on board, MySpace made its debut and Petrey capitalized on this avenue by setting up a page for one of the projects she had been assigned from Warner. This page was one of the first major label ventures into leveraging MySpace, and this led to a full time position in the Digital Department at Warner Bros.Records office in Nashville. In her role, she oversaw social networking campaigns for label stars such as Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, and many others.When Petrey graduated college, the role of "Community Manager" didn't exist at companies. She knew social media platforms were more important than they were given credit for. Always seeking new and innovative ways to create organic, meaningful connections between artist and their fans, Petrey went on to form Crowd Surf in 2007, with long time friend Jade Driver.At 25 years old, she was selected to be featured on Billboard's “30 Under 30” list. This highlights executives making an impact in the industry and driving business forward. As a member to YEC (Young Entrepreneur Council), she has been quoted in numerous media outlets such as Huffington Post, Inc., Business Insider and more.Today, their company has evolved into a 35-person team, with four offices and revolving roster of accounts boasting a collective social footprint of approximately 800 million followers.

Crowdsurf co-founder and marketing expert Cassie Petrey has been on the Forbes' “30 Under 30”, Variety's "Hollywood's New Leaders in Digital” and named one of Billboard's Digital Power Players in 2018 and 2019. In our talk, we look at how her generation is still grappling with the same level of problems of gender equality in accolades, but also women making time in their busy lives to market themselves. She started to create her own content to fill the lack of celebrity female executives on social media with powerful voices and messaging. She loves the short poignant content that she calls “word surgery” that one can do on Twitter. Since she works with teen pop artists, a lot of young people follow her, and can relate when she is honest about anxiety. I was very touched that she makes herself available to anyone who needs to talk through their troubles on DM or email.

In this episode host Zoe Hewitt interviews Cassie Petrey & Jade Driver. ABOUT CASSIE PETREY Back during Backstreet Boys' original pop reign in the '90s, Cassie Petrey showed her super-fandom by starting a 10,000-subscriber fanzine and following the act to far-off locales like Norway. But as she prepared to launch her own music business career, she noticed a gap between her passion and what the industry would support. "There just wasn't a higher-level job that revolved around connecting artists with their fans," she says. So in 2007 at the age of 21, she co-founded Crowd Surf, an agency that uses social media to forge deeper artist-audience relationships through release-week campaigns, exclusive content and direct access. Now, Crowd Surf under Petrey, 25, manages social pro --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
