The document discusses how artificial intelligence will transform influencer marketing by enabling marketers to identify and activate different types of influencers at scale. It outlines how AI can evaluate people's potential, preference, and performance as influencers. This will allow automatic identification and personalized activations of influencers like micro-influencers, advocates, referrers and loyalists. The future of influencer marketing is presented as powered by AI-driven identification, recommendation, and management of influencer programs and content across digital assets. Case studies are provided showing successful influencer campaign results for various brands.

Marketing

27. Marketers will manage all personas via single
all-in-one, AI-powered influencer platform.

28. The Spectrum of Influence Personas
Mega-Influencers earn their living some
other way (e.g. Athlete, Actor, Artist) and
monetize their celebrity influence.
Macro-Influencers earn their living as an
influencer (e.g. Blogger, Creator, Journalist).
Micro-Influencers are everyday consumers
who have relevant influence
as a side hustle, and many aspire to become
macro-influencers.
Advocates are passionate and
willing to share, but have little
influence.
Referrers passively share
relevant content with friends and
family.
Loyalists love your brand,
but are not willing to share.
