I feel like what you see in the industry now is people jumping
around and trying to find the God metric for content. It’s all
about shares or it’s all about time spent or it’s all about pages or
it’s all about uniques. The problem is you can only optimize one
thing, and you have to pick, otherwise all you’re doing is making
a bunch of compromises, if you try to optimize for multiple
things.

ADWEEK
Welcome to the Wild West of
Influencer Marketing
Choosing the correct influencer is key. Knowing how engaged
and interested the influencer’s community will be in a brand is
critical. Having a huge number of followers means a potentially
less targeted campaign, which is why many brands are
choosing to work with a higher number of influencers with a
lower but more engaged and appropriate audience.
The influencer is not the audience.
Shift away from relying solely upon
influencers’ characteristics to
identify them and toward the union
of audience, influencer and
performance data. Opt for
platforms that provide the whole
picture, over tools that only provide
one piece of the puzzle, such as
influencer identification.
You already know how to do this.
Just as influencer marketing itself
is a natural extension of word-of-
mouth marketing, reimagined and
made scalable for the social age,
we see audience targeting in
influencer marketing as a natural
marriage of what marketers do in
traditional marketing, to this
emerging discipline.
Start with a clear definition of your
ideal customer. Then, look at an
influencer’s ability to effectively
reach—and influence—that
customer, using real data about an
influencer’s actual audience
composition, such as location,
gender, age, income, brand
affinities, interests and personality
traits.

DIGITAL MARKETERS
LOOKING TO SET THEIR
B2B COMPANIES APART
WILL BE LEADING THE
CHARGE—AND
REAPING THE
REWARDS.
As personal and professional lives
blur, innovative B2B marketers
recognize their buyers are people,
and that purchase decisions are
made by humans—real consumers
who distrust brand messaging, do
their homework and investigate B2B
brands—long before they have fallen
into the dreaded funnel.
Despite the pool of influencers being
smaller, the stakes are much higher,
when your professional reputation
depends on you making the best
purchase decision for your company.
B2B buyers will depend on those
trusted voices even more. Those who
emerge as B2B influencers will carry
more weight.
B2B marketers feel burned by a lack
of meaningful metrics around their
social media marketing and content
marketing efforts, and Return On
Marketing Investment (ROMI) and
Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS)
are hot topics in organizations that
live and die by analytics. Data is
ingrained in everything they do.

Challenger brands emulate the branding, culture—

be like. At the end of the day, it’s real people, not
companies, buying B2B products and services.

become media darlings, people attach
personal significance to brands they

MARKETING EARNS
A SPOT IN THE
MARTECH STACK
The marketing technology stack has gotten
more complicated, especially for larger
businesses. Enterprise marketing teams are
leveraging 60 to 80 different marketing
technologies.
– DEMAND GEN
REPORT
Marketers desperately need ways to
see the whole landscape, and we
predict rapid integrations with other
business systems, starting with the
rest of the martech stack, as well as
business intelligence (BI) platforms.
Making influencer marketing relevant
to the rest of your organization is key
to expanding the budget for the most
successful strategy in your arsenal.
Move it from experiment to necessity
by picking partners who play well with
those who already have earned a
spot on the roster.
With revenue attribution as the holy
grail, influencer marketing platforms
that are already starting to talk to
these other platforms—sharing
content, performance data, insights
and more—dramatically increase
their value to organizations.

HIGHER CAMPAIGN ROI
For challenger brands, doing more
with less is a way of life. This
extends to their early investment in
marketing technology, as well, and
influencer marketing fueled by
smart automation platforms.
To steal hearts and minds away
from established competitors,
smaller brands need much more
effective ways of reaching millions,
without the benefit of time,
resources or large budgets.
SMB/SMEs need innovative ways
to reduce dependencies on human
resources, gain the most efficiency
from their existing resources and
squeeze the highest possible ROI
out of any campaigns and
marketing spend.
Challenger brands need a way to
break through the clutter that is
advertising today. Without
technology, most simply would not
have access to the means to get
heard by consumers.
Challenger brands today are
keenly aware their success
requires attention to the customer
journey, long before they win
customers from larger competitors.
As influencer marketing platforms
use their experience, technology
and data to create increasingly
affordable and predictable ways of
getting a return, expect more
SMB/SMEs to join the fray.

TRANSPARENCY REIGNS
Disintermediation will continue to
occur for low-and-no-value
activities. Brands will shrink their
rosters to exclude agencies who
focus here, in favor of innovators.
At the same time, brands will beef
up their use of highly strategic,
highly creative agencies that
deliver influencer capabilities and
act as accountable marketers.
On the heels of adblocking and bot
fraud, a scathing June ANA report
shows kickbacks and lack of
disclosure, further straining
agency-advertiser relationships.
Agencies will differentiate with
innovation practices that
leveraging their agility and
breadth, helping clients navigate
constantly changing social seas.
Challenger agencies will win more
deals, unseating the slow moving
giants, who are unused to focusing
on growth and revenue, their own

Smart agencies realize the value
of influencer relationships is not in
keeping a stranglehold over them
rather being an impactful bridge
between strategy and creators.

2017: NINE PREDICTIONS
#10: Authenticity is everywhere.
We realized our tenth prediction was woven into everything you do with
influencer marketing. As more brands and influencers enter the arena,
authenticity will be the key to success. This means going past just adhering to
FTC disclosure regulations and embracing the spirit of honesty in all sponsored
content.

  • 24. ADWEEK Welcome to the Wild West of Influencer Marketing Choosing the correct influencer is key. Knowing how engaged and interested the influencer’s community will be in a brand is critical. Having a huge number of followers means a potentially less targeted campaign, which is why many brands are choosing to work with a higher number of influencers with a lower but more engaged and appropriate audience.
  • 25. The influencer is not the audience. Shift away from relying solely upon influencers’ characteristics to identify them and toward the union of audience, influencer and performance data. Opt for platforms that provide the whole picture, over tools that only provide one piece of the puzzle, such as influencer identification. You already know how to do this. Just as influencer marketing itself is a natural extension of word-of- mouth marketing, reimagined and made scalable for the social age, we see audience targeting in influencer marketing as a natural marriage of what marketers do in traditional marketing, to this emerging discipline. Start with a clear definition of your ideal customer. Then, look at an influencer’s ability to effectively reach—and influence—that customer, using real data about an influencer’s actual audience composition, such as location, gender, age, income, brand affinities, interests and personality traits. 3 THINGS TO KNOW REMEMBER

  • 32. As personal and professional lives blur, innovative B2B marketers recognize their buyers are people, and that purchase decisions are made by humans—real consumers who distrust brand messaging, do their homework and investigate B2B brands—long before they have fallen into the dreaded funnel. Despite the pool of influencers being smaller, the stakes are much higher, when your professional reputation depends on you making the best purchase decision for your company. B2B buyers will depend on those trusted voices even more. Those who emerge as B2B influencers will carry more weight. B2B marketers feel burned by a lack of meaningful metrics around their social media marketing and content marketing efforts, and Return On Marketing Investment (ROMI) and Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) are hot topics in organizations that live and die by analytics.

  • 37. Marketers desperately need ways to see the whole landscape, and we predict rapid integrations with other business systems, starting with the rest of the martech stack, as well as business intelligence (BI) platforms. Making influencer marketing relevant to the rest of your organization is key to expanding the budget for the most successful strategy in your arsenal. Move it from experiment to necessity by picking partners who play well with those who already have earned a spot on the roster. With revenue attribution as the holy grail, influencer marketing platforms that are already starting to talk to these other platforms—sharing content, performance data, insights and more—dramatically increase their value to organizations.

This extends to their early investment in marketing technology, as well, and influencer marketing fueled by smart automation platforms. To steal hearts and minds away from established competitors, smaller brands need much more effective ways of reaching millions, without the benefit of time, resources or large budgets. SMB/SMEs need innovative ways to reduce dependencies on human resources, gain the most efficiency from their existing resources and squeeze the highest possible ROI out of any campaigns and marketing spend. Challenger brands need a way to break through the clutter that is advertising today. Without technology, most simply would not have access to the means to get heard by consumers. Challenger brands today are keenly aware their success requires attention to the customer journey, long before they win customers from larger competitors. As influencer marketing platforms use their experience, technology and data to create increasingly affordable and predictable ways of getting a return, expect more SMB/SMEs to join the fray.

A NEW POWER MIDDLE BRANDS WILL USE MORE BRANDS WILL USE FEWER AGES FREE AGENT INFLUENCERINNOVATION <> OPTIONAL TRANSPARENCY REIGNS Disintermediation will continue to occur for low-and-no-value activities. Brands will shrink their rosters to exclude agencies who focus here, in favor of innovators. At the same time, brands will beef up their use of highly strategic, highly creative agencies that deliver influencer capabilities and act as accountable marketers. On the heels of adblocking and bot fraud, a scathing June ANA report shows kickbacks and lack of disclosure, further straining agency-advertiser relationships. Agencies will differentiate with innovation practices that leveraging their agility and breadth, helping clients navigate constantly changing social seas. Challenger agencies will win more deals, unseating the slow moving giants, who are unused to focusing on growth and revenue, their own and that of their clients, Smart agencies realize the value of influencer relationships is not in keeping a stranglehold over them rather being an impactful bridge between strategy and creators.

As more brands and influencers enter the arena, authenticity will be the key to success. This means going past just adhering to FTC disclosure regulations and embracing the spirit of honesty in all sponsored content.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Invest now Try things Know what works and what doesn’t work going into 2017 Don’t wait for these to move from differentiating to the norm
  2. Last year was all about catching up This year is all about seizing opportunities (before everyone else does)
  3. We’ve made every mistake imaginable for six years, so you don’t have to do the same. We’re constantly monitoring the landscape. It’s kind of sad.
  4. In the next year, we’ll see brands questioning the use of celebrity endorsements online for a few reasons. First, people want to be celebrities, not necessarily purchase everything they tout. Secondly, they aren’t quality content creators. Just look at what happened with Scott Disick a few weeks ago (insert Scott Disick example). A recent study from Collective Bias found nearly a third of consumers surveyed are more likely to purchase a product by a non-celebrity blogger than by a celebrity. 70% of millennials had the strongest preference for “peer” endorsements.
  5. Lastly, there are better, and more qualified influencers who can create content on behalf of brands for consumers. Not only is it better creative, it resonates with consumers.
  6. Lastly, there are better, and more qualified influencers who can create content on behalf of brands for consumers. Not only is it better creative, it resonates with consumers. In fact, this article in VentureBeat explains how teens are developing emotional attachments to YouTube stars seven times greater than toward a traditional celebrity. The same study states YouTube stars are perceived as 17 times more engaging, and 11 times more extraordinary than mainstream stars. True influencer is about finding influencers who aren’t just SMEs, but who reach your audience, no matter how small. As we mentioned before, the early days of influencer marketing made it seem like only CPG and food brands could take advantage of this emerging industry. This will change with the rise of micro influencers and the technologies that can help you identify true influence. But how do you work with these types of influencers at scale? We recommend identifying a few quality content creators who are either the micro influencers themselves, or SMEs, and then use other like-minded micro influencers to distribute your message.
  7. Engagement (comments, likes, shares, retweets, pins, etc… As we just discussed, https://medium.com/@ev/a-mile-wide-an-inch-deep-48f36e48d4cb#.1uncmc1xw
  8. As strategies for influencer marketing become more sophisticated, so will the way we measure it. If you’re working with an influencer marketing solution that only touts EMV or TMV – think bigger. Media values are no longer relevant and we see the social networks taking cues from this. In fact, Instagram is reportedly introducing analytics to show which posts are most effective at converting to followers. This is great for brands who want insight on which posts are successful and should be strategies they should continue to deploy. We also see views becoming less relevant – why? They are a passive engagement. Engagements – whether it’s a like, comment, share, or click to your brand’s page – are more important and indicate consumers want to see more brand content. In the next year we’ll see even more integration between social listening to identify strategies consumers want to see and then again to measure lift in sentiment post-campaign. True ROI will be more important than ever. As top brands and agencies lean into influencer marketing, they will need confirmation that it’s actually affecting their bottom line. Sales lift will be (and already is) critical to justify bigger budgets for influencer marketing, but also bigger returns. EMV and TMV. Marketers have relied on these measures for years, but as traditional media values themselves become irrelevant, people are realizing the fallacy of any metrics based on them. Social media is taking the lead on developing measures that track the types of actions that matter in the digital era. For instance, Instagram is reportedly introducing analytics to show which posts are most effective at converting to followers. Smart move, and we expect to see more like it in the coming year. Views. In the era of traditional media, views were an important metric because they were, in most cases, as deep as a marketer could hope to understand. Content, by nature, was not interactive, so there was no need for metrics that measured interaction. The digital era is different, so this year, marketers will abandon views as an acceptable performance metric and turn instead to metrics that speak to real engagement with content: likes, shares, comments, and clickthroughs. In addition, we expect to see even more integration with social listening to identify content consumers want to see, and to measure lift in sentiment post-campaign.

  14. Influencers also cite requiring drafts for every post as invasive and a major mistake that brands make. Brands want control of messaging and content and influencers feel that marketers are too controlling. Influencers are followed because of their authenticity and brands stated this is their number one priority. Clearly controlling the message is counter productive.

  16. The writing is on the wall; the B2B and B2C paths to purchase are converging. What does this mean for influencer marketing? Smart B2B marketers are already testing the waters, or at least asking questions about how this might work for their brands.
  17. The rise of micro-influencers – Figuring out how and who to work with to do B2B influencer marketing effectively and authentically will be a challenge for many brands. Why? There are simply fewer trusted voices talking about, say, productivity tools or supply chain management software than there are talking about what to make for a Super Bowl party, travel hacks or DIY projects. B2B influencers may also be be more limited than B2C influencers around how many brands about which the can speak authentically. Don’t be fooled, though. Despite the pool of influencers being smaller, the stakes are much higher, when your professional reputation depends on you making the best purchase decision for your company. B2B buyers will depend on those trusted voices even more, and the perspectives of those who emerge as B2B influencers will carry more weight. Increased scrutiny on metrics, especially social – At a time when B2B marketers feel burned by a lack of meaningful data around their social media marketing and content marketing efforts, and Return On Marketing Investment (ROMI) and Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) are hot topics in organizations, live and die by analytics.

  18. Further, we live in a world where people’s personal and professional lives and identities are becoming almost indistinguishable from one another. As high growth B2B companies become media darlings, people attach more and more personal significance to the brands they use at work. Challenger brands emulate the branding, culture—and technology stack—of companies they aspire to be like. This means individuals, not companies, are buying B2B products and services. Will B2B influencer marketing be commonplace by the end of 2017? Maybe not, however digital marketers looking to set their B2B companies apart will be leading the charge—and reaping the rewards.
