Yash shares his philosophy of influencer marketing in 2024, which involves building a community of nano influencers who consistently talk about the brand. He also discusses the pyramid model of influencer marketing, where brands start with product seeding, move on to an ambassador program, and then establish deeper collaborations with top-performing influencers.

Yash provides tips for brands starting out in influencer marketing and suggests aiming for a conversion rate of at least 30% in the base tier. SARAL helps brands build their own unique community of influencers, rather than relying on influencer networks. The pyramid strategy is a key approach, with nano influencers at the base, micro influencers in the middle, and ambassadors at the top. SARAL streamlines the seeding process, automates outreach, and provides a CRM functionality for managing influencer relationships. The platform also offers social listening, affiliate management, and UGC white listing. Building a community of influencers who consistently post about the brand is the most successful influencer marketing strategy. Influencers are top-of-funnel awareness drivers, and their impact should be measured through blended metrics and follower growth.
