Influencer Marketing Agency

Doing influencer marketing in this day and age means catching up with the trend by definition of the last few years. In more technical jargon, it's activating a process aimed at identifying individuals who create high-impact conversations with an ideal target audience. Your brand's, in this case!

Adopting a solid influencer marketing strategy is a vehicle that feeds through social channels, with the aim of expanding your communities and making storytelling even more versatile. But it can also aim to get people talking about your product or service in a different way, through the voice of those who will become your ambassadors, with creativity at the service of engagement.

Social media allows you to showcase your brand, but how does a winning influencer marketing agency work in detail?

How does Influencer Marketing work?

The first thing to do when creating an influencer marketing campaign is to ask yourself how the activity can align with the customer journey of your typical user, or Buyer Persona: from awareness to action, from targeted engagement rates to the goals you want to convey with an influencer campaign.

What can all of these factors have in common?

• Increase Brand Awareness and strengthen your brand image.
• Increase engagement and interaction of your social activities.
• Improve conversions (e.g. newsletter subscriptions, free trial registrations, purchases etc).
• Get data and insights on your clients.

That's it, simply: your influencer marketing campaign needs to start with at least one of these goals.

How to understand if an influencer can be the right one for a social campaign? If he will be able to guarantee the brand he is sponsoring results and a return on his investment?

Well, influencer marketing is not maths, it is first and foremost creativity and connection. Of course, there are crucial tools that our influencer marketing agency uses for brands: both to discover new profiles and to assess engagement, to create a database of contacts, to establish a connection over time and much more. 

Let's discover them together.

Fundamentals of a great Influencer Marketing Strategy

Set yourself specific goals. How do you want your brand to be perceived? What kind of influencers can create that perception? What is your mission?

Here are a few practices that our strategy will put in place, once we have considered the brief and carefully studied your targets in the preliminary phase.

It goes without saying that a lot of choices depend on the budget, but it's worth remembering that a nest egg spent well is more efficient than a treasure trove spent badly. Before you go, determine how much you are willing to spend.

On which platforms do you best convey your activity? What audience do you target? Typology and numbers: are we talking about an influencer with a large following or a micro influencer with a target audience tailored to a certain niche? Tone of voice and storytelling: how do you express your messages? These may be some of the details we refer to in our strategy. But there is also more.

Choose your search criteria based on your marketing prospects. You don't need to be a surgeon here, but the more precise you are, the more efficient you will be. Tip: proudly exclude those that don't suit you.

Contact the most relevant influencers and offer them promotions, gifts, gadgets, money, and anything else that will arouse their interest.
