Who is an influencer?

Unlike traditional media and advertising channels that rely on celebrities’ star power for endorsements, influencers are everyday consumers and people. Influencers are content creators who have mastered the art of engagement across platforms like Instagram , Facebook , TikTok , LinkedIn , and YouTube . With the right niche and platform, they’re powerful brand advocates who inspire trust in your brand.

Whether it’s product experiences or industry insights, influencers wield the power of effective storytelling, earning a credible reputation for their unique voice and aesthetic, expert answers, and ever-growing social following. From lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and fitness, to technology, art and design, healthcare, c-suite industry expertise, and more, influencers can be anyone in any niche with a sizable social media following, anywhere from a few thousand to millions.

Influencers Have Built a Community on Trust

• A large, engaged audience who actively interacts with their content
• Power to influence shopping habits and preferences due to their stories, experiences, and authority
• Regularly publish engaging content with high-impact visuals, entertaining videos, and a trademark brand
• Honest product reviews built on long-term relationships with brands they endorse.

• Over 50% of brands running e-commerce already work with influencers to leverage the trust factor
• For every dollar spent on influencer marketing, brands make as much as $5.20
• 48% of influencer marketing budgets are spent on Instagram, where highly visual content succeeds, and influencers can leverage interactive features
• 63% of marketers intend to up their influencer marketing spend, reaching as much as $4.62 billion in the next year.

The Trust Factor in Influencer Marketing

• The power of authenticity: Consumers are inclined to trust honest product reviews by influencers who have built a loyal fan community, and potentially loyal customers.
• From engaged followers to engaged customers: With their sizable audience, influencers can easily amplify your brand, drive followers to your digital channels, and help build a pipeline of engaged followers to happy customers.
• Increased conversions: Not getting enough clicks on ads? Influencers — and their loyal followers — can help. Influencer marketing takes the guesswork out of customer profiling and targeting. Influencers serve up a receptive audience ready to buy, thanks to their credibility, resulting in higher conversions with each shopping recommendation.

Are you thinking of investing in influencer marketing? Influencers work best when they collaborate with brands to publish highly visual content created through their own authentic experiences. Influencer collabs leverage powerful storytelling, from candid reviews, how-to tips, product guides, recommendations, and before-and-after visuals.

Check out some of the best-performing industries powered by influencers and their authentic stories and engaged followers:

• Travel and lifestyle
• Food and beverage
• Fashion, beauty, and cosmetics
• Health and fitness
• Entertainment and media
• Technology, and more.

Not on the list? Don’t fret. Influencers are everywhere, emerging across different industries. And as influencer marketing continues to evolve, not all influencers are just on Instagram and YouTube anymore, providing product reviews and recommendations. For instance, LinkedIn influencers — such as recruiters, start-up founders, girl bosses and more — are on the rise, presenting endless possibilities for engagement across platforms and industries.

Discovery

We will meet with you to discuss your marketing goals, experience, and desired outcome of your influencer marketing program in order for us to develop a creative approach that we know will move the needle for your business.

We will then segment the various audience groups you wish to target and identify the appropriate social communities to leverage your campaign.

Selection

Once the communities are identified, we move towards the research phase of our selection process.

Our team will first review our database of influencers to source the perfect talent for your engagement. With every creator we work with, we take all the necessary steps to vet their audience to ensure they do not have a purchased following. More importantly, that their audience fits your key target demographic.

Once we have prepared our recommended influencer selection — we will provide those options to the client for review and approval.

Delivery

Once the influencers have been selected, we will define the tone and theme of their messaging, outline all details of the campaign rollout, and work back schedule in a campaign brief that both the client and creator(s) will sign off on.

The creators will then send their content to the client to approve before the scheduled go-live date.

If the content receives the green light from the client, it will then go live with all necessary tagging, brand/product/service references in place.

Amplification

With every influencer marketing strategy, we highly recommend including at least 20% of the overall campaign budget towards paid amplification (typically through sponsored Facebook advertising and/or Instagram ads ) of your influencers’ posts to maximize reach potential, as well as to test and segment these ads against the various demographic targets that your business may have. At Consultus Digital , we have a team of experts who live and breathe paid social advertising. We will provide the optimal strategy and execution of this essential component of your influencer campaign from start to finish.

Reporting

Once the campaign has wrapped up, we will provide complete in-depth program reporting, followed by a debrief with you to discuss results based on our pre-set KPIs.

We then use those insights to drive strategy for future campaigns. As with any strong marketing strategy, we can continually improve results based on ongoing analysis and adjustment.

It all comes down to reputation . Consumers trust credible voices outside of your brand. And with all brands crafting messages that position their offerings as the best in the market, it takes authentic reviews, stories, and visuals from voices they value to stand out.

Beat the ad bids, cost per click and customer acquisition. See how influencer marketing powers brand engagement built on authenticity and trust:

• From one consumer to another: Influencer marketing adds a personal touch, thanks to authentic brand experiences and honest feedback crafted in their unique visual aesthetic and voice.
• Targeted marketing for targeted revenue: Your next customer is an influencer’s follower. Reach them right away with an influencer collab designed to boost sales, like referral codes and product giveaways.
• Maximize engagement: Influencers know more about community management and audience engagement than anyone. They know the power of likes, replies, comments, and reshares, and they’ll do the same for your sponsored content, making them the best brand ambassadors.
• Best value for your marketing dollars: Influencer marketing is one of the most cost-effective digital marketing tools, with ROI greater than banner ads. Small businesses can reach an engaged and loyal audience for as little as free swag per post.
