The role of influencer marketing

28 Septemebr 2023

As the digital marketing landscape becomes more competitive, brands are turning to influencers to leverage their engaged audiences, placing their brand in-front of the consumer through a trusted voice. Influencers have become invaluable partners for brands to reach new and existing customers whilst establishing credibility. We’ve unpacked the role of influencers below.

Amplifying Brand Reach
Collaborating with influencers offers one instant impact, brand reach. Influencers engaged audiences, generally with large followings. When an influencer shares content about a product or service, it receives instant exposure to their trusted audience - an audience not easily targeted through paid ads.

Enhancing Brand Credibility
In an era when consumers frequently approach traditional and digital advertisements with skepticism, influencer marketing emerges as a naturally effective method for audience engagement. Influencers have cultivated trust among their followers, making their product endorsements feel like personal recommendations rather than mere ads. Due to their perceived relatability and authenticity, consumers tend to be more open and responsive to influencer endorsements. 
Leveraging UGC
Using influencers to create content around a brand often acts as social proof, and can be incredibly valuable in building brand affinity and trust among consumers. This content often finds its way into paid advertising campaigns run by advertising agencies, thanks to its consistent high-performance track record on platforms like Meta and TikTok.
