EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I remember trying to find an internship after the disaster of the covid pandemic which
would help me prepare for the upcoming challenges I will face in the business and
my part of that business. While going through college internship placement I applied
to Datrux Systems Private Ltd, Bangalore.
After applying for the internship, I received an interview call from the Human
resource manager at the organization. She asked questions about my expectations
from the internship and looked over my CV. She was looking for a person who is
willing to learn and is a Netizen and curious to explore the digital world and who
have good communication, Negotiation as well as convincing skill.
I realized this during the first few minutes of the interview. As I got selected, I
realized this was a crucial phase of my life. I was part of the Client Servicing and
Execution team in that organization.
The first phase of my internship was getting to know about the platform developed
by the company to help their clients, to know my mentors in the organization, and get
familiar with my fellow interns. I learned more about the Company’s profile, nature
of business, products, and services offered along with the competitors of the
company. For the first week, I got myself familiarized with the company and its inner
workings/culture properly.
The second phase of our internship started in the very first week. In this phase, I was
given extensive training in www.qoruz.com a platform developed by the company,
and understanding the requirements of the client. I have been taught to deal with the
client and individual service providers in this case influencers. I have been trained in
segmenting, targeting, and positioning the product in the market and converting the
probable prospects into a loyal customer base. While doing this I was dealing with a
creative team of the organization whose sole job was the ideation of the campaign. I
have learned the skill of making choices as I was dealing with and taking the decision
to choose the best suitable option from the available option.
In the Third phase of our internship, I was given training in the execution of the
8. SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM REPORT | Abhinav Pachpor
campaign and how to make sure to get the things done in time and in a short span of
time provided to implement. I got a detailed face-to-face teaching session with the
mentor.
The fourth phase of the internship started with analyzing data and creating the report
and presenting it to the client. This activity is being conducted to showcase the
achievements achieved by the campaign and how we as influencer marketing
specialists and mediators, how helped the client to achieve their goals and make sure
that we build a lifelong business relationship
Then the internship thus came to an end after the submission of the task. Training
along with core learning regarding influencer marketing, this internship improved my
analyzing skills, implementing abilities, and observation skills.

INTRODUCTION
Influencer marketing has a much richer history than many people realize. The
earliest evidence of influencer marketing as a strategy date back to 105 BCE,
with Roman gladiators as the first iteration of “the influencer.” Other famous
early influencers include Fatty Arbuckle, The Marlboro man, and even Santa
Claus.
In recent years, influencer marketing has become the hot new strategy for brands
looking to expand their reach, increase brand awareness, and boost conversions.
In fact, a whopping 93% of marketers now practice influencer marketing. And
this tactic has proven to be so effective that, in 2020, 69.8% of marketers plan
to increase their influencer marketing budget.
When you think about it, the concept of influencer marketing has been around
for longer than many of us can recall. Before there were social media, people
relied on what they saw in print ads, radio, and television for product
recommendations. But even the earliest marketers figured out that featuring
influential people in their ads could sway the purchasing decisions of
consumers.
Today, we’ll walk through a brief history of influencer marketing and discuss
what lies ahead as we prepare to navigate the ever-changing social media
landscape.

• Meaning and Definition
Influencer marketing is a type of social media marketing that uses endorsements
and product mentions from influencers–individuals who have a dedicated social
following and are viewed as experts within their niche.
Influencer marketing relies on social media stars and their ability to promote
products and services to their followers. All types of businesses can benefit from
17. 3
SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM REPORT | Abhinav Pachpor
creating partnerships with social media influencers. Some partnerships are
temporary, while others can last for years with long-lasting results.
Influencer marketing allows big brands to attract more customers and enables
small businesses to scale up by getting them more visibility, which provides
higher ROI than other marketing channels.

• Importance of Influencer Marketing
The Importance of Influencer Marketing in the “New Normal” Digital Industry
1) Increased trust and credibility
2) Improved conversion rates
3) Boosted audience engagement
4) Precise targeting
The 2020 global lockdowns were a major stimulating factor for online
commerce. TikTok has become mainstream; podcasts stick to our everyday life,
and Instagram is now shopping-oriented. Wherever possible, customers stay
away from advertising. We’ve been in a new stage of democratic media
consumption where customers select what they listen to and whom they trust.
This makes the digital marketplace become crowded. With the growth of the
attention economy, we witness a brand-new form of exchange where brands
find and acquire customer attention by creating interesting and appealing
content.
Influencers are your content production. They generate native advertisements
that tend to resonate well with customers, which can boost your advertising
performance and increase overall conversion. Then analysts can then find out
the best-performing influencer content and generate paid ads to run to a specific
target audience. As influencer content is considered more authentic, this usually
brings in better engagement and conversion rates.

• Method / Types of Influencer Marketing
Fig 9 - Showing the types and methods of Influencer Marketing
1. Competitions and giveaways
Make sure that the rules are clear, so confusion won’t stop participants from
joining. That also guarantees that there’s no dissatisfaction among the audience
when the winners are revealed.
2. Sponsored content
Sponsored content is one of the most common marketing examples. Brands
contact influencers to ask whether they agree to endorse one of their products
or services or vice versa. The final product is often an image, video, or blog post
featuring your goods or services, based on the influencer’s channels you’ve
compromised.
3. Product and content collaborations
Several brands have partnered with influencers to co-create products or content.
This is often seen in the beauty and fashion industries, where influencers
produce their own line of accessories, clothing, or beauty products under the
brand.
22. 8
SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM REPORT | Abhinav Pachpor
4. Takeovers on your platform
In a takeover, the brand allows the influencer to access its social media channels
for a specific period of time. Normally, the period lasts within one day, but some
last as long as a week for special events or occasions.
Influencers can produce day-in-the-life-of or behind-the-scenes posts, stories,
and videos to make your audience intrigued and engaged.
5. Reviews
One of the most popular influencer marketing practices of reviews includes a
brand providing its products or services to the influencer for free or the
influencer writing a review in exchange.
6. Long-term brand ambassadors
As the name mentions, a long-term ambassador is an influencer who works with
your brand for a specific period. You could consider them a “face” of your
brand, kind of how famous spokespeople work in traditional advertising
strategies.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
• What is research?
Research is the careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern
or problem using scientific methods. According to the American sociologist
Earl Robert Babbie, “research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain,
predict, and control the observed phenomenon. It involves inductive and
deductive methods.”
Inductive methods analyze an observed event, while deductive methods
verify the observed event. Inductive approaches are associated with
qualitative research, and deductive methods are more commonly associated
with quantitative analysis.
Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the
stock of knowledge". It involves the unbiased collection, organization,
and analysis of information to increase understanding of a topic or
issue. A research project may be an expansion of past work in the field. To
test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may
replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole.
The primary purposes of basic research are documentation, discovery,
interpretation, and the research and development of methods and
systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to
research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within
and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research:
scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing,
practitioner research, life, technological, etc. The scientific study of research
practices is known as meta-research.
Fig 16 – Process of research
30. 16
SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM REPORT | Abhinav Pachpor
• Objectives of the study
From weather forecasts to the discovery of antibiotics, researchers are
constantly trying to find new ways to understand the world and how things work
with the ultimate goal of improving our lives.
The purpose of research is therefore to find out what is known, what is not, and
what we can develop further. In this way, scientists can develop new theories,
ideas, and products that shape our society and our everyday lives.
The purpose of research is to further understand the world and to learn how this
knowledge can be applied to better everyday life. It is an integral part of
problem-solving.
Although research can take many forms, there are three main purposes of
research:
Exploratory: Exploratory research is the first research to be conducted around
a problem that has not yet been clearly defined. Exploration research, therefore,
aims to gain a better understanding of the exact nature of the problem and not
to provide a conclusive answer to the problem itself. This enables us to conduct
more in-depth research later on.
Descriptive: Descriptive research expands knowledge of a research problem or
phenomenon by describing it according to its characteristics and population.
Descriptive research focuses on the ‘how’ and ‘what’, but not on the ‘why’.
Explanatory: Explanatory research, also referred to as casual research, is
conducted to determine how variables interact, i.e., to identify cause-and-effect
relationships. Explanatory research deals with the ‘why’ of research questions
and are therefore often based on experiments.
• Scope of the study
1) General purpose of the study is to the effects of different categories
of influencers.
2) The population or sample that I am studying is of 5 influencers.
3) The duration of the study is a month.
4) The topics or theories that you will be discussing are the organic and
paid reach and impression of the influencers. While studying this I
would be discussing penetration, like, comments, etc.
5) The geographical location covered in the study is India - To be
specific to Tamil Nadu State.
31. 17
SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM REPORT | Abhinav Pachpor
• Limitation of the study
1) Sample size/Sample bias. - As the sample size is only five, we can't
conclude anything in a very concrete way but this experiment helps
us to understand the general idea.
2) For example, let’s say 100 hundred people should participate in
your survey. Each person may give you individual results, but it does
not mean that the same results belong to the whole population.
3) Access to data. - We don't have access to all the campaigns these
influencers have been a part of. Conclusions are based on very
limited data to which we have access.
We will not always be able to go through all the resources. You can’t
gather all the data you want for my research since it will take a lot
of time. Because of it, my work might not cover each aspect.
4) Lack of time. - This campaign was live for a limited time based on
that span it is very difficult to conclude.
Often deadlines are the reason why your study and research might
not be complete. When we get a task, we have a limited amount of
time to do it. To get a good grade, we need to submit the assignment
prior to the deadline.
5) Financial resources. - Sometimes we need some equipment or
additional software to conduct the research. This might be a problem
since we don’t always have the sum we need.
6) Data collection. -There are different ways to collect data:
interviews, surveys, questionnaires, etc. The way you collect data
might be a real limitation since the answers and the results vary.
7) Method. - When we are finding new information, we use a specific
research method and research methodology. Different methods give
you various opportunities. Quality of the data you get often depends
on the method you choose.
8) Age of Data - If your study is based on secondary data, pay extra
care to the age of the data. Making current assumptions based on old
data represents a strong limitation.
9) Access to Literature - In the majority of cases, studies start when
researchers identify gaps in the literature and try to address them.
However, the identification or understanding that there is a gap
depends on the researchers’ level of access to the existing literature.
What may seem as like a research gap might be a huge
misconception simply because the person did not have access to a
larger range of scientific literature. Thus, access to literature can also
be a limitation.
10) Timing of Study - Are you investigating a phenomenon long after
it happened? Did you collect your data in a period that was not
32. 18
SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM REPORT | Abhinav Pachpor
exactly suitable for respondents for some specific reason? All of
these are examples of how timing might represent a strong limitation
for studies.
11) Equipment - Imagine you are developing a study involving virtual
reality (VR). You can use many different VR devices, ranging from
very expensive ones (that have an extraordinary immersion
experience) to cheaper ones (that will provide an immersive
experience, but not as real). In other words, the type of device used
influenced the study results. So if you use equipment (e.g. devices,
products, etc.) you have to consider if the type used represents a
limitation or a strength of your work.
• Data collection methods- primary and secondary
Primary Data: www.qoruz.com and Instagram
Data that has been generated by the researcher himself/herself, surveys,
interviews, and experiments, specially designed for understanding and solving
the research problem at hand.
Secondary Data: www.qoruz.com , Instagram and Internet
Using existing data generated by large government institutions, healthcare
facilities, etc. as part of organizational record keeping. The data is then

2) Qualitative Methods - Participant observation.
Provide the details about the observation. Here you need to describe the
approach you've selected and explain this choice thoroughly. Write about the
criteria you used to choose sources or participants.
We have selected MOM influencers available on Instagram for this purpose, the
reason is a mom is considered the closest entity to a 2.5-year-old kid and the kid
is totally dependent on her for all his/her requirement. Years of studies and
observation say that the mother of the 2.5-year-old kid is the best and the biggest
influencer affecting the decision for her infant.
I was working as an executive of the campaign and was working as an observer.
The methods of recording data were quantitative and qualitative.

• About the campaign
Number of Influencers – 5
Special requirement – Influencers with kids of the age 2.5 years and below
(Who have been a part of their Insta account feed)
Campaign Live date – Before Dashera
Deliverables – Reels and Stories + Visit to the Eurokids Centre In Tamil Nadu
Concept -
There is a tradition in Tamil Nadu, they put their kids into formal education
after taking the blessing of the gods and elderly. This activity happens every
year around the Dashera Festival in all houses with kids below the age of 2.5
years. The idea was to arrange these Puja/ Ceremonies at the EuroKids center
and the parents could admit their kids to EuroKids preschool for further
education.
Influencers were supposed to publish reels and stories around this occasion and
invite everyone to participate in the event happening in their nearby location
and also register for the event. Registration for the event creation of a lead for
the salesperson who can contact the parents and convince them to admit their
kids to EuroKids Pre-School. These Influencers will also meet the parents.
Influencer visit to the actual event was supposed to attract more parents as
Influencers are minor celebrities.
• Importance of Vidyarambham (Sanskrit: विद्यारम्भम्)
is a Hindu tradition, which introduces young children to the world of
knowledge, letters, and the process of learning. This ceremony can be
performed for a child between the age of 2-5 years. This ritual is usually
conducted on the last day of Navratri, i.e., on Vijayadashami day mainly in
Kerala where children are formally introduced to learning music, dance,
languages, and other folk arts.

SUGESSTIONS
1. Create an outline of your campaign goals and requirements. Detail
your desired outcomes at this stage and create metrics to track your
progress.
2. List influencers who align with these goals and requirements.
Analyze their niche and reach. Understand your audience
demographics and pick influencers who align with your target age,
sex, location or purchase patterns.
3. Calculate the engagement rate of these influencers. Select a bunch
of their branded posts, add the total number of likes and comments
under these posts, divide the total influencers’ number of followers,
and multiply the result by 100. Do this for at least 10 posts to
understand the average engagement rate.
4. Ensure that these selected influencers are relevant to your brand’s
offerings. Engagement rate is important, but your post being relevant
on their feed and to their audience should always take priority.
5. Choose influencers who share values with you and are authentic.
If you are an eco-conscious brand, you shouldn’t partner with an
influencer who promotes fast fashion or is not environmentally
conscious in their actions.
