How can influencer marketing help your brand? Influencer Marketing Series

Image
Some people (like me) are born skeptics. Influencer marketing? Blah – why would that work? I know my audience – and I can reach them directly. I don’t need no influencer. But, think about this: In 2017, eMarketer reported that marketers spent $570 million on influencer marketing globally. In 2018, $1.6 billion was channeled into sponsored posts on Instagram alone.

Well, in retrospect, do you wish you had done anything different? More often than not, content writers often say that asking more questions helps. Questions drive alignment, identify points of friction and give you guard-rails alongside which you operate. Of course, you shouldn’t hit the client with a 100-question questionnaire right away, what you could do is identify which of the following are the must-asks for your project. Or you could also do a progressive build up. Asking questions at every interaction, and using it to shape up your content marketing project.
