· 3h ago · Originally reported by MarTech Series
Roster, a brand ambassador platform for ecommerce and DTC brands, launched tools that let brands discover Instagram creators and repurpose their top-performing UGC posts as Meta partnership ads on Instagram and Facebook. The platform is built on Meta's official APIs and aims to centralize ambassador, affiliate, and creator management in one system.
Why it matters
It shows how influencer marketing is converging with paid media buying, as brands increasingly turn creator content directly into ad units through platform APIs rather than managing these workflows separately.
