Big brands and influencer marketing

Just like brands that have yet to make themselves known, large companies, although already established, need to remain top of mind for consumers, adapting to new forms of advertising and marketing as they emerge and evolve.

This is why, as we mentioned previously in another of our articles, the importance of keeping up to date with Advocacy Marketing and, specifically, Influencer Marketing, is essential in the world of advertising.

Influencer Marketing continues to be one of the most effective ways of reaching the target market for each product. Each profile offers unique characteristics that allow the brand to connect with a particular type of consumer.

What is the need for a brand to collaborate with an influencer?

Brands need to approach and connect with their audience in a subtle way, avoiding invasive marketing techniques and obsolete commercial messages. They also need to humanise their brand and present themselves as beneficial to their target audience.

Consumers are better informed than ever before and they also care more about receiving real, honest and more personalised advertising than traditional marketing.

Big brands have a reputation for being somewhat detached from the reality that surrounds them and having the help of profiles that humanise them is essential nowadays to carry out effective advertising.

An influencer marketing campaign can provide everything that big brands have been losing over the years, the credibility of customers and potential customers, visibility in front of their target, loyalty and engagement generating a sense of community.

Why is the figure of the influencer important?

An influencer brings the experience of using the product, the personal touch to the content created and the charisma of a person that a neutral advertisement cannot provide to a brand.

It is important to know how to choose the right profile for the campaign to be effective, which is why agencies specialised in influencer marketing are a key element in this type of campaign. 

Using profiles that really generate engagement, knowing who has among their followers the target that the company is looking for and being able to create campaigns that follow the branding line of companies, especially large and consolidated companies, is essential to carry out an efficient campaign.

Social Commerce and Influencers: a win-win

Date: August 13, 2024

Today, the union between social commerce and influencers has become an essential strategy for connecting brands with their consumers in an authentic and effective way. This evolution reflects a shift from the traditional Tupperware parties of the 1950s to the sophisticated integration of technology and social media we see today. After the conversation we had on the mAD Podcast with Patricia Aragón and Fabiola Guerrero Ros, we better understand the constant relationship between influencer marketing and social commerce, and how properly leveraging this practice will be crucial for managing strategies that truly influence consumers’ purchasing decisions.

The world of social media has come to an end as we know it Over the past few years, the landscape of social networks has undergone a profound transformation, leading us to reconsider our perceptions and approaches towards these platforms. While the headline may seem sensationalist, the reality is that social media is no longer just a realm of entertainment and connection; it has evolved into a multifaceted ecosystem where brands, creators, and consumers intersect in complex ways.
