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.

Gen-Z and the sober curious future of drinking

Anywhere anyone looks, there is a “healthy” or “eco” option. In any grocery store, pharmacy, brand’s social media, or product tags, there is specific information dedicated to how “well” something is. The surge of health-centered products becomes undeniable. At first glance, one might assume these products cater primarily to older generations, as age often accompanies an increased focus on health. Yet, a closer look reveals a striking trend: a growing health-conscious movement among the younger generation, who are now reshaping every industry they consume, including beverages and alcoholic drinks.  The numbers speak volumes about this newfound emphasis on wellness, and

The importance of measuring the impact of campaigns beyond KPIs, by analysing brand perception.

In addition to reviewing the brand’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) after the end of a campaign, it is recommended to analyse whether the marketing actions have had an impact on the conversation about brand perception (SOV and sentiment) on digital platforms or whether it has gone unnoticed. How do you know if marketing actions are having an impact on brand perception? More and more brands want to measure the results of their campaigns and know if they have had a real impact on the audience or if the action has gone unnoticed as a result. Previously, brands used to measure

Streaming platforms, influencers and media love triangle

Are streaming platforms using influencer’s content to leverage their presence in media? That’s the question that popped out in our heads when we started seeing different streaming platforms releasing docuseries and special programs about influencers’ lives, such as Georgina by Netflix, The Ferragnez or Dulceida Al Desnudo by Amazon Prime Video, or even hosting different kinds of events with world-recognised streamers, like Ibai Llanos and Twitch. What would they do for this course of action? What would they expect from these collaborations? To understand this match and how it could be made in heaven, we need to establish some ground:
