• One of the first challenges in
Influencer Marketing is the huge
volumes of influencers to
choose from across platforms
• According to Tubular labs there
are 13.4 m influencers globally
and 506k in the UK
• This doesn't even consider at
Tok Tok or snapchat
• Understanding your target
audience behaviour on each
platform first is key

8. “a rational and more precise adjustment of product and
marketing effort to consumer or user requirements; it consists
of viewing a heterogeneous market as a number of smaller
homogeneous markets” – Wendell Smith, 1956
Use segmentation and targeting in influencer marketing to ‘break
the market in to bits’, starting with the platforms.

9. How do you segment Influencer audiences by platform?
Demographic Geographic
Lifestyle Behavioural
Different social media
platforms and
influencers have
different age and
gender demographics
Platform and
influencer audiences
differ by global market
Communities differ by
platforms and
influencer
Interests, search and
engagement around
products differ by
platform and influencer

• Which markets are you targeting? For example Tik Tok is much bigger than snapchat globally
• A focus on China will see you work with influencers on QQ

penetration by
market is key:
e.g. Snapchat –
52% penetration
in Saudia Arabia,
vs 30% in
Australia and UK,
and only 5% in
Italy.
13. Platform segmentation: Lifestyle
Some platforms appeal to certain communities more than others due to their functionality, content
type and purpose. The top 10 influencers on each platform look very different.
Jay Shetty – Lifestyle, Self Help, Motivation –
plays to strengths of Facebook Watch
• 20m Facebook
• 1.8M YouTube
• 2.2M Instagram
• 120K Twitter
GreekGodx – 4th biggest
creator on Twitch UK –
Gaming specialist platform
• 700k Twitch
• 300k YouTube
• 171K Twitter
Amber Doig-Thorne – Huge with Gen Z
but v small YouTube presence
• 1.4m Facebook
• 200k Snapchat
• 415k Instagram
• 200k Tik TokBrave Bison
14. Behavioural segmentation
Is your target segment B2B?
Influencers are now impacting B2B purchasing
decisions on LinkedIn as the key hub, which has
extended to Instagram and other platforms
Goldie Chan has 35,000 LinkedIn Followers and has
done branded content deals with WeWork and Skype
On LinkedIn you generally see a smaller audience /
reach than other platforms in general - but is this reach
and engagement more valuable per view and
impression because of the spending power of her
audience?

15. Know the overall platform reach of your target influencers
when budgeting
This is key to understanding media value and
cost.
YouTube: 1m views per month, 900k subs
– German and US Skew, mostly Gen Z
female
Facebook: 197k followers
Instagram: 14m followers, 5.1m views a
month
TikTok: The most followed account with
31.5m followers!
Therefore huge budget required for
brands to collaborate with Lisa and
Lena across all platforms.
