Editor's Notes
- #7 My first encounter with influencer marketing was Malcolm Gladwell’s ….Mavens Since then it really has evolved *From the straightforward: Word of Mouth *To something I read recently: “Twinsumers” (meaning like-mined consumers who take cues from each other on digital (they may or may bot know each other IRL) But I don’t think it has to be jargoning...in layman’s term I think Marketing is like dating.
- #8 And here’s the way I think about Influencer MArketing in the mix. Let’s say you are single and you need to develop a plan to meet someone. If advertising is crafting a tinder profile (like a personal ad for yourself) Direct mail might be say sending a witty text to a prospect that you want to target Experiential would be going to a bar and meeting in the real world Influencer Marketing would be: say a friend posting a good looking photo of you. -- and who doesn’t want that?
- #9 Turns out a lot of people do: influencer marketing is one of the hottest topics right now in our industry. The reason why is because it’s working (when it’s done well) Generating twice the sales as advertising Creates better customers - consumers acquired this way have a 37% higher retention rate Overall marketers are increasing their spend, 59% are putting more into next year.
- #10 So how do you do this well? The space is moving as fast as your social media feeds. There has been a lot of evolution even in the past 18 months. So we wanted to talk about 4 shifts in the landscape and what that means for marketers.
- #11 One of the first and most vibrants communities in the influencer marketing space were mom bloggers. One of the most impressive things about these blogger was the reach of their endorsement and that’s what people were talking about. Marketers were enamored by the distribution of these recommendors. But quickly as the web changed from words to images marketers started seeing the value of their taste and ability to curate. Who remembers when that was the buzz word dujour? But now as platforms like Instagram, Pinterest and SnapChat are the new normal marketers really need to see the value of them as creators of feed stopping content. (This photo here is of one of my favorite Instagram accounts, the doggist and the quality of the content is really remarkable)
- #12 The next shift is really around thinking about these influencers as an arbiter of a lifestyle versus a recommender of a product. This is a photo of one of my favorite dude Instagrammers Justin Livingston. Read the text, this isn’t about plugging a bear though it appears to be a sponsored post. This is about the perfect Lazy Sunday where Really important because
