The Power Of Creator Economy: 5 Ways To Convert Influencer Marketing
■ Key Takeaways From Each Speaker
1. Corey R Martin
A successful influencer marketing campaign starts with having the right strategy in place, even before identifying and selecting influencers. So, before anything, think about which of these three things you want from your campaign: content, credibility, or channel. Once you know what you need, the strategy flows from that, getting you to the right creators who can bring faster conversions.
2. Lola Bakare
For the marketers wondering how to get into the creator economy, think about the impact your business has had through referrals or word-of-mouth as a starting point, and then think about an influencer marketing strategy as a way to scale that.
Figure out why people refer you, what about you gets them excited that they share with their friends, and what your customers say about what brought them in. Once you have all the answers, use the information as building blocks and scale the best things about your brand through an influencer marketing strategy.
3. Judi Fox
To succeed on LinkedIn, find creators who have already collected your target audience and/or your key community, join their community instead of competing, and make an impact.
4. Natasha
The best way for brands to scale their creator marketing campaigns is to:
• Leverage influencer communities by hosting influencer events with creators and people who love your brand. Allow the creators to share the event on their social media pages so you can reach their audiences, which could be thousands and millions of people. You can open up your event and host giveaways to give people a chance to socialize and get free products. The strategy will lead you to join the influencer communities and create awareness.
• Connect and engage with active audiences on social media pages similar to your brand. Create a list of 5 like-minded brands, go on their latest posts, and reach out to the people engaging with their content. Interact with their posts, like, comment, or DM them to let them know about your brand because chances are these people are already buying products from that like-minded brand and may like to look at your products too.
5. Nisarg Shah
To execute successful influencer marketing campaigns, you need to:
• Work with the right influencers – who have your target audience
• Give influencers the creative freedom to churn out content that they feel their audience will engage more with
• Compensate the influencers well and align incentives for every conversion they drive
• Set creator campaigns on autopilot and focus on building authentic brand-influencer relationships
