Influencer marketing isn’t new news, but it is constantly evolving, which leaves some brands wondering how to best activate them. Leveraging influencers allows advertisers to connect with audiences in ways that are more natural and relatable, and the proof is in the pudding. 41% of consumers say they find at least one new brand or product from an influencer weekly, and 24% saying they did so daily.
What is influencer marketing?
Influencer marketing is taking what we know as a celebrity endorsement and putting it in the hands of a modern day social media mogul. Unlike celebrities, influencers can be anywhere, and anyone. What makes them influential is not their following, but their ability to influence the perception of others.
