WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
Word of mouth is still the best way to promote, especially when it comes from a right influencer. Even as an
example if you keep on saying Nokia is a great brand, the colleague around you may give a though to check
that once, where digital branding may not create that though to check.
92% of consumers trust other people's recommendations, even if they do not know them
70% trust online reviews more than company slogans

DIFFERENCE B/W CELEBRITY
ENDORSEMENT & INFLUENCER
MARKETING
Celebrity endorsement attaches the fame of a celebrity to a
brand or product and they are not the one who are expert in
that field Simply, Influencers are specialists. They are the who has built
communities around themselves in a very niche space
Celebrity endorsements are meant to be seen, heard, but not
interacted with
Not the case here, there is generally two way interaction or
engagements
The celebrity is the face of a brand message.
In influencer marketing, the influencer is perceived to be
creator of the entire message.
