Influencer marketing has emerged as one of the breakthroughs in digital marketing as it helped brands solve the toughest marketing challenge they faced - winning people’s trust. The revolutionary marketing strategy has become a cost-effective way for companies to create brand awareness and credibility, moving customers down the sales funnel faster than traditional marketing methods. Essentially, advertising with influencers is helping brands build an emotional connection between their products/services and potential customers. In a recent survey, brands are forecasted to spend up to 15 billion USD on influencer marketing only in 2022. That said, by utilizing data analytics and artificial intelligence, brands can benefit in three core areas - finding actionable data, proposing impactful workflow actions, and creating more relevant content. With the ever-expanding influence of social media, artificial intelligence and data analytics in influencer marketing will help analyze data in each recommendation and reassure brands that the creator they are working with can receive the engagement and deliver conversion-driving content. Furthermore, brands can now make better decisions in collaborating with a relevant influencer and identifying new trends, which will mitigate fraudulent risk and result in more significant ROI.
With the trend of shorter video formats such as reels dominating the social media space, brands will seek to capitalize on how to leverage influencer marketing to its true potential, using metrics that speak volume.
