Influencer marketing is showing no signs of slowing down. At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, influencer marketing took a downturn as brands suspended campaigns. Since then the industry has adapted with many brands now increasing their spend as a result of the change in the way brands engage their audience.
Influencer marketing is still one of the quickest ways to build your brand online and raise awareness among your target audience. An ‘Influencer Outreach’ campaign continues to be more emotive and memorable than TV, Facebook and Youtube ads.
The biggest change in influencer marketing has been the recognition that influencers can be credible communicators rather than just a vehicle to promote sales.
A recent report by Takumi found that 25% of consumers are more likely to source opinions from influencers than journalists and established news outlets.
So influencers are not just here to help sell fast fashion – brands have started to realise they can been credible communicators and used for social change. If you haven’t yet considered influencer marketing as part of your marketing strategy, we think you may want to reconsider.
SO WHAT IS INFLUENER MARKETING?
“A form of social media marketing, that uses product endorsements from influencers”.
AND WHAT IS AN INFLUENCER?
Great question. They are dedicated individuals who have built relationships and created a community of like-minded followers. This relationship is built on trust and credibility. When an influencer discusses your brand with their following, you are gaining the attention of an actively engaged audience, who are likely to go and try/buy or find out more about your brand.
Commonly, influencers are used to increase awareness by expanding reach, and in turn increasing sales. They are also great for supporting smaller business needs i.e. tapping into a new demographic. It is important to remember, influencers these days will only work with a brand that also adds value to their social media presence too – content is king!
