What is influencer marketing
Influencer Marketing is the practice of partnering with individuals who have built an engaged following to place your brand in front of a targeted audience — whether the aim is to raise awareness, introduce a product, generate sales, or maintain market presence. Influencers can be found across every niche and platform, from YouTube and TikTok to LinkedIn and beyond, wherever a person has cultivated a community around their work or lifestyle.
In an era where consumers are increasingly doubtful of traditional advertising, there has never been a better moment to give your business a genuine face & voice — allowing your product or service to be presented in an honest, compelling way to exactly the right people.
Does Influencer Marketing Work?
Is influencer marketing really worth the investment…
As people, we naturally place far more trust in the recommendations of those we follow than in branded messages we encounter online. Influencers give your business a credible voice — a real advocate who can champion your brand to an audience that already trusts their opinion.
The evidence speaks for itself: influencer campaigns have proven to be a highly effective way to reach your audience and position your brand in front of the right people at the right moment. Some research indicates the average return for every $1 invested is $5.20.
Can you afford to ignore that kind of ROI?
Seeking out trusted opinions has always been part of human nature.
When an existing relationship is in place, that trust grows even deeper.
Since its emergence, social media has fundamentally reshaped how we connect with one another — and as a result, businesses have had to evolve how they engage with consumers and even fellow businesses. A central goal of any social media presence is to foster trust among your audience, and as these platforms continue to grow, so does the expectation of seeing real people engage authentically with brands.
This is the backdrop to the extraordinary rise of the influencer. The influencer marketing industry was valued at $6.6 billion in 2019, rising to $9.7 billion in 2020, with projections suggesting it could exceed $15 billion globally by 2022. For every $1 invested, businesses are reportedly receiving $5.78 in “media value”.
Word of mouth has always shaped purchasing decisions — at the office, among friends, and now online. Influencer marketing is the modern, scaled version of that same principle. We all connect with influencers for different reasons: their lifestyle, how they present themselves, the values they embody, or simply the content they produce.
Connecting with influencers who already interact with your customers and fans can add significant value to your brand while building credibility with new audiences. The landscape has shifted considerably over the last five years — chasing the influencer with the biggest following is no longer the only, or even the best, path (and typically comes with a steep price tag). Today, micro and nano influencers offer a highly targeted, trusted route to your audience. And this is not just a B2C play — in the B2B space, 93% of overall influencer activity takes place on Instagram, making it a powerful visual channel for professional brands too.
Influencer Marketing Strategy
Influencer Marketing is an excellent way to break into new audiences — whether through sponsored content or gifted product placements. But knowing which approach will work best, and identifying who to partner with, can be complex. Our strategy begins with a thorough review of your sector, your current target audience, and your products and ambitions. From there, we pinpoint the influencers best positioned to carry your message.
We then support you through every stage — managing contracts and communications, guiding content creation, following up with partners, and reporting on the outcomes of each influencer campaign.
