Quick takeaways
To succeed in influencer marketing, it is crucial for marketers to see influencers as more than just a media channel and cultivate authentic relationships with them.
Good marketing focuses on providing value and aligning with the needs and desires of the target audience, rather than just focusing on fancy visuals and clever content.
Deep dives
Building Influencer Relationships
When working with influencers, it is important for marketers to recognize that they are dealing with personalities and focus on building relationships. Marketers often make the mistake of categorizing influencers solely as a media channel, but they are more than that. Influencers are friends, subscribers, followers, production companies, and creative entities. To succeed in influencer marketing, it is crucial to see them as more than just a media channel and cultivate authentic relationships with them. Additionally, in today's vast influencer landscape, defining a niche is essential for launching a brand or building an influencer marketing agency.
Providing Value in Marketing
Creativity in marketing is valuable only when it provides value to the audience. Winning awards and pushing boundaries in advertising are great, but if the marketing does not offer value to people, it will not be effective. Fancy visuals, flashy videos, and clever content may be interesting, but they do not necessarily create impact. Good marketing focuses on providing value and aligning with the needs and desires of the target audience. Furthermore, problems that are often considered marketing problems are actually alignment problems, where the messaging and communication do not match the intended audience or serve their needs.
The Importance of Omnichannel Marketing
To create a successful marketing strategy, businesses must consider a mix of digital, content, and community-based marketing. Relying solely on one tactic or channel is not recommended. Digital marketing provides fast results and data, but excessive reliance on it can lead to overspending and poor-quality inbound leads. Content marketing requires thoughtful planning and may take time to yield results, but it helps create momentum. Community-based marketing, such as word of mouth and events, takes the longest to cultivate but can generate loyal customers. A good marketing strategy includes a balance of all three approaches, avoiding the trap of focusing too much on one area and neglecting the others.
