IDENTIFYING INDUSTRY
& SOCIAL MEDIA
INFLUENCERS
22 March 2018
WHAT IS AN INFLUENCER?
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, an influencer in
marketing is “a person or group of people that have the
ability to influence the behaviour or opinions of
others”.
Influencers can help potential customers
in the purchase decision process
● Also known as influencer marketing
Influencers are unique to your field and product or service.
EG: If you’re looking for an influencer in the tech industry, you’ll
want people such as:
● Tech critics in the industry
● People with popular Tech focused social media accounts
● Tech bloggers/vlogger who write for major publications/sites
● TV/radio personalities who focus on Tech
3
BACKGROUND
▷ Influencers were originally measured by the number of followers
and fans he/she had on a certain platform
▷ The problem: companies and influencers could “buy” fake followers
to make them appear influential
▷ The unreliability of measuring influencer’s value, based on only the
number of followers they have, shifted to an increased focus on
engagement
▷ Now most companies measure influencers on their large fan base
as well as look at the amount of engagement
▷ This has resulted in companies seeing a need to shift marketing
from being sales-focused and predominantly about the
company/products to focusing on the audience and consumer
(WIIFM)

HOW CAN WE FIND THESE INFLUENCERS?
1. When you are searching for influencers think about whose
voice you trust
1. It is important to understand the goals of your brand and
what the influencer will accomplish
○ Establishing goals and outlining the influencers
responsibility is essential to see results
1. Make sure your influencer is:
○ Contextually fit
○ Has reach
○ Accountable

ONCE INFLUENCERS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED,
HOW DO WE APPROACH THEM IN FRONT OF
YOUR CLIENTS?
▷ Be prepared for your meetings with clients
▷ Ensure your proposal is supported with data (facts and
figures)
▷ Account for all possible scenarios - be transparents about
the type of campaign and potential results (unrealistic
expectations lead to major problems)
▷ Emphasize the positives - client needs to be able to see
the benefits of what they are paying for
▷ Know what the clients competition is doing (and who the
competitions influencers are)

consumer it is -- it is what consumers
