Tom Sweeney on The Six Sells Podcast
In this episode of The Six Sells Podcast, Mike Nicholson speaks with Tom Sweeney, VP of Influencer, at Brainlabs.
At Six Sells we have long understood that people pay a lot more attention to the personable content of people than they do to corporate content published by brands.
It's no wonder then that influencer marketing has evolved in a significant way. It used to be thought of by marketers as a brand or PR play, but is now delivering tangible business results at every stage of the funnel.
This fascinating conversation covered many topics which include:
‣ What is influencer marketing
‣ B2B influencer marketing
‣ Brands adopting home grown influencers
‣ How organic + paid is ‘a no brainer’
‣ Influencer + SEO is a game changer
Tom offers some really fascinating insights into how influencer marketing is performing best today, and how it will perform even better in the future.
