Influencer Marketing. Are you using it? If not, you most definitely should be.
What is Influencer Marketing?
Influencer marketing is a cohesive branding partnership between the brand/product and an influencer.
To understand this type of marketing you also need to understand the world of influencers. A social media influencer or content creator is an individual who has built a trusting and loyal fan base of online followers by sharing their curated content. This may be done by posting photos, videos, or a mixture of both.
When a brand or business chooses to partner with a social media influencer, they are not only building a partnership with the influencer themselves, they are ultimately building a relationship with the influencer’s followers as well.
The brand contracts the influencer to share/promote/review and ultimately become the face of their product or service. Brands can approach the influencer with the requested deliverables (required photos, hashtags to use, etc.), and request how the content should be laid out, but ultimately, the influencer should have as much creative control as the brand can allow. This is why verifying your influencers and their following before finalizing a partnership can be the hardest part of the entire process, yet it’s the most important.
