The future is bright… and filled with social media influencers
The love between influencers, brands and agencies has unquestionably evolved to “the great social media love affair.” Influencers tackle an audience that many advertisements can’t grasp and that’s part of the magic.
Key takeaway: No matter how popular a brand may be, it won’t matter to the community if it does not have the approval and acceptance of other highly-regarded experts a.k.a. influencers. Allocating some of the marketing budget to these individuals could potentially achieve greater outcomes.
