Hachette–Nashville sought to raise awareness for A Yearlong Journey Through The Bible, a 52-week Bible study guide designed to help readers engage with Scripture daily. The promotion needed a strategy that would go beyond traditional advertising to reach communities already passionate about Bible study and spiritual growth. They turned to Guardian to design and manage an influencer marketing campaign that would introduce the resource through authentic, trusted voices.
Guardian developed a comprehensive influencer campaign strategy built around genuine creator partnerships and high-quality content.
Strategy + Creator Selection
Guardian identified and vetted creators whose audiences aligned with the target demographic: faith-driven individuals interested in Bible study, devotional content and spiritual disciplines. The team prioritized creators who could speak authentically to the value of a structured, yearlong reading plan. After a thorough discovery and approval process, five creators, ranging from micro- to mid-sized, were selected to participate in the campaign.
Rights Negotiation + Campaign Management
A key element of the campaign was the negotiation of organic content rights, allowing the client to leverage creator-produced content beyond the initial posts. Guardian managed end-to-end campaign logistics, including creator communication, content briefs, brand guidelines, deliverable tracking and approval workflows. Each creator was tasked with producing a mix of video content and Stories to showcase the Bible study guide in a way that felt natural and encouraging to their audiences.
Content Deliverables
The campaign produced a total of 12 pieces of content across the five creators on Instagram and TikTok:
Each piece of content was reviewed and approved prior to publishing, ensuring alignment with the client's brand voice and messaging goals.
The influencer campaign delivered measurable results, demonstrating the effectiveness of strategic creator partnerships for promoting faith-based resources. Guardian also negotiated organic content rights, extending the value of creator content well beyond the campaign window.
