Two good examples are Aluziva and Selly, who are featured in many different brands&#8217; campaigns and have even gone so far as to use their influence in the service of various social causes. Basically, you end up leveling the online influencer with a celebrity whose image has been consolidated in the media (radio, TV). <strong>That&#8217;s why they&#8217;re great for awareness campaigns when you need your product or service to reach as many people as possible.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">CONTENT CREATORS<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Entertainers or comedians, people who create personalized content for the brand and often have dedicated pages (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mercur.retrograd\/\">Mercur Retrograd<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sticumzic\/\">#StiCumZic<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nimenidenicaieri\/?hl=en\">Nimeni de Nic\u0103ieri<\/a>). Their content is greatly appreciated, especially as they can integrate the product or service more authentically in their communication. At the same time, their online influence is continuously growing, which makes them <strong>suitable for campaigns that reinforce brand equity or that want to stand out for their uniqueness and the authenticity of their interactions with the community.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">INFLUENCERS PART OF THE MIX OF COMMUNICATION<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These are the ones that brands have realized they need to integrate into their communication strategy as a channel in itself. They are the ones who have the ability to gather their communities around a call-to-action. Generally, they do not create content specifically for brands, but amplify their communication. <strong>The reason they work especially well in campaigns that aim for immediate business impact is that they haven&#8217;t crossed the threshold of followers where their communities are audience mixes and still manage to stay in the niche they started growing.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14051\" src=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-300x18.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-1024x60.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-768x45.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-1536x90.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is the ideal process when working with influencers<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14059\" src=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_2-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_2-en.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_2-en-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_2-en-1024x385.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_2-en-768x289.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_2-en-1536x578.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From the moment you propose one or more content creators to the client until you end the collaboration, there&#8217;s a whole flow of steps that it&#8217;s best not to skip so that you can run the project smoothly and avoid the many roadblocks that can occur along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1. Communicate<\/strong> &#8211; first of all, you are dealing with other people and it is important to never forget that we are all different, everyone communicates and expresses themselves differently, works in their way, and has parallel projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2. Negotiate and set Deliverables<\/strong> &#8211; an important stage, where you need to be careful to align the expectations of both parties, the client and the content creator. Especially if you want to move forward with the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3. Collaboration Contract<\/strong> &#8211; often treated as a formality, it is extremely important because it provides the legal framework in which the two parties agree to collaborate and especially its details: deliverables, duration of the campaign, assignment of image rights, exclusive image association with the brand for the duration of the campaign, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4. The Brief and Objectives<\/strong> &#8211; we are no longer in the age of over-the-phone explanations, now the brief is essential as the complexity of campaigns has increased. It needs to be as clear and well-structured as possible, with information about the brand and campaign, mandatories, and timelines for collaboration on the project. In terms of deliverables, you can never go overboard with the level of detail provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>5. Monitoring the campaign<\/strong> &#8211; once the campaign has started, the content creator produces the campaign materials, which are approved by the client and posted. But it is very important to pay attention to and monitor the content creator&#8217;s work, as well as the communities&#8217; reactions throughout the collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6. Reporting and Conclusions<\/strong> &#8211; once the project is completed, you can conclude. You receive the results from the content creator for the material posted and prepare a report that you deliver to the client for analysis. In general, if the collaboration has been a good one in terms of results, it can turn into a long-term one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14051\" src=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-300x18.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-1024x60.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-768x45.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-1536x90.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7 tactics in working with influencers:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14063\" src=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_3-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_3-en.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_3-en-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_3-en-1024x385.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_3-en-768x289.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_3-en-1536x578.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the process of collaborating and communicating with content creators and influencers, there are various working tactics you come to identify over time:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. You make sure the content creator&#8217;s mission in the campaign is clear. Generally it is 1 of the following 3: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; Create dedicated content for the campaign; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; uses its own channels to amplify the campaign message; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; the campaign is built around him and his personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let&#8217;s look at some of the campaigns Minio has implemented as they map to exemplify these different situations: <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; <strong>Dedicated campaign content<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/portfolio-item\/lansare-durex-slim-fit-xxl\/\">Durex Slim Fit &amp; XXL<\/a> &#8211; comedians spoke &#8220;in the language of the audience&#8221; we were trying to reach and better explained Durex&#8217;s two new products; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; <strong>Amplifying the campaign message<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/portfolio-item\/rowenta-forever-sharp\/\">Rowenta Forever Sharp<\/a> &#8211; Flick Mr. Rhyme was the only influencer in the campaign and played a key role. Through rhymes posted in the video content he talked about the product and directed men to buy from partner sites, resulting in a quick sell out; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8211; <strong>Campaign built around it<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/portfolio-item\/sun-treasure\/\">Sun Treasure<\/a> &#8211; content creators were in the role of mall customers to encourage downloading the app and testing the game during their time in the mall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2. Compensate when your budget doesn&#8217;t quite match your goals<\/strong>: look for ways you could still reach out to certain content creators, even if the project doesn&#8217;t allow for paid collaboration. The most handy solution is to put together an interesting PR kit that gets their attention and talks about that project and the brand you represent. One such example is the direct mail piece done for Mondelez&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/portfolio-item\/pofta-de-vara\/\">Poft\u0103 de Var\u0103<\/a> campaign, when 50 unpaid content creators posted and generated over 160 pieces in which the brand and campaign were visible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3. Check in regularly with the influencer or content creator<\/strong>: this is the point where you need to be sure they understand exactly what their role is in the campaign and what the brand wants. You can set up one or more meetings, to go through the brief together and come up with clarifications if something he didn&#8217;t understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4. Nothing&#8217;s certain until it&#8217;s certain<\/strong>: always check his availability during the campaign period you&#8217;re running to make sure he can get his content done on time, so you&#8217;re on time with the campaign. The influencer may be involved in several campaigns at the same time, or may even be out of the country at the time, and you need to get the product to him so he can prepare the campaign deliverables on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>5. Monitor communities throughout the campaign<\/strong>: you should constantly monitor how their community reacts to the branded content posted. This is where you can generally even urge him to interact with his fans in the context of the campaign. Not infrequently, community members may have various questions about that product or the functionality of the service being promoted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6. Make sure deliverables are preserved<\/strong>: especially since ephemeral content has become the primary way to collaborate with influencers, it&#8217;s very important to make sure they archive the Stories and posts they&#8217;ve posted so that at the end you have access to the results of the materials. It especially helps when you want to track how the influencer performed in the campaign, how many people saw the branded content and what engagement was generated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>7. Follow up<\/strong>: let them know how the campaign performed overall, what feedback the client got, or maybe the campaign they worked on was nominated or awarded at an industry festival. This is how you turn a one-off collaboration into a long-term relationship with the content creator or influencer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14051\" src=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-300x18.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-1024x60.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-768x45.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_separatorYB-1536x90.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What can you expect from influencer marketing in 2023?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-14039\" src=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_4-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_4-1024x385.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_4-768x289.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minio.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/MI1921_Influencers_MM_Blog_1-1_ASA_06dec22_4-1536x578.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If it feels like too much already, I think we haven&#8217;t seen it all yet, this industry is still growing.
