Influence…
Not Influencers
Marketing through influence must focus on finding the right customers, in
the right places. Here’s how to make the shift.

Influencer Marketing in 2019
What about today?...
Pay Half-Naked Instagrammers
To Pose With Your Product.
Does It Work?
Sometimes…
Is It the Best Use of Our
Marketing Spend & Effort?
Rarely…
The Consideration Problem:
Google Ads
Should we invest in…
Facebook Ads
Influencer Marketing
Content Marketing
SEO
All our competitors are
doing it!
Start an Influencer
Marketing Campaign
And Influencer Marketing is Crazy Hot Right Now…
Via Google Trends

What Influencer Marketing
Gets Right
IM Focuses on Behavior > Demographics
Your Target Audience
Behavior Demographics
What they read
What they watch
What they listen to
What they attend
What they engage with
What they pay attention to
How old they are
What gender they are
Where they live
How much they make
How many kids they have
What religion they are

What they listen to
What they attend
What they engage with
What they pay attention to
How old they are
What gender they are
Where they live
How much they make
How many kids they have
What religion they are
These are vastly more
useful to efficiently reach
specific groups of
people

Your Target Audience
Behavior Demographics

What they watch
What they listen to
What they attend
What they engage with
What they pay attention to
How old they are
What gender they are
Where they live
How much they make
How many kids they have
What religion they are
These are good for
broad targeting of
traditional media
Demographics and Psychographics Are
Useful to Media Buyers (maybe)?
Not so useful to marketers doing content,
search, social, email, PR, etc.
IM Reaches People Through Sources They
Know, Like, & Trust
e.g. Andrew’s an award-
winning mixologist and a
friend. This post isn’t
sponsored, but even if it
were, I’d probably still trust
his opinion.
Though… Paid Sponsorships May Have
Trust Issues Longer Term
Via CrowdFireApp
And Legal Issues Are Starting to
Change the Landscape
Via US FTC
& UK ASA
IM Engages with People Where They’re Already
Engaging
IM Emphasizes Brand Building > Pure Conversions
Via Marketo
What Modern Marketers
Need to Change
A Too-Narrow Definition of “Influencer”
Primarily on Instagram & YouTube
25K+ IG Followers

Metrics Accountability
Via TheDrum
“I do campaigns for brands on a weekly basis
and less than half ever come back for metrics;
less than 50% ever want to know what’s
happened. That makes me think it’s PRs playing
a numbers game and once a campaign has
gone no one is really interested.”
Via BusinessInsider
I.E. likes &
comments
If “Branding” and “Awareness” are your
biggest goals… Measure that!
Via Google Trends
Use Other Non-Owned Platforms Strategically
Seeking Brand

Optimize for

Seeking Maximum,
Long-Term Benefit?
Optimize for high-engagement
streaks
Capitalize with
Conversion-Driving Posts
Measure on Comparative
LTV:CAC Ratio
Leverage Other High-
ReachAccounts
Boost with Paid
Promotion
When I have a low engagement post,
my next post has a harder time
reaching a big audience.
When a post gets high engagement,
FB boosts the reach of my next post
(unless it starts to show poor
engagement)
In this way, Facebook (& Twitter, Instagram,
LinkedIn, etc) reward high engagement
streaks and makes accounts w/ low
engagement invisible.

Rethinking Whether This Is the Best (or Only)
Process for Influencer Marketing
Rethinking Whether This Is the Best (or Only)
Process for Influencer Marketing
Via Contevo
Is paying “influencers” the best way to spread influence?
Should brands own & control the creative?
Is approval of content a net win?
Could other processes yield better results?
to Better Influence Your Target Customers
4 Tactics
Survey Your Audience!
(but be careful how you do it)#1
Want to Know Where to Reach Your Audience? Ask
Them!
Key Questions to Ask:
2: How Do You Currently Solve the Problem Our Product/Service
Addresses?
1: WhoAre You?
(B2C: demographics/psychographics, B2B: professional/behavioral)
3: What Do You Read, Listen To, Watch, Consume,Attend?
4: What Influences Your Purchase Decisions
(in the problem space of our service/product)?
Warning: It’s hard to design
unbiased surveys
e.g. When I editorially chose
these events, I biased survey
takers against ones that didn’t
appear
Struggling to Get Great Answers
(or to get them from the right people)?
1:1 requests are time-consuming, but effective
Reach Out to the Right
Sources of Influence#2
Which of These Should You Choose?
Via eMarketer
Trick Question…
This is the Wrong Way to Think About Influence!
Via eMarketer
The Most FollowedAccount(s) that Match a Keyword Search
Traditional Influencer Marketing Seeks Out:
The Most-ReachableAccount(s) that Match a Keyword Search
OR
But That’s Not Really What We Want…
What You Really Want: People & Publications YourAudience Engages
With Most
Followed by 16% of people
who frequently talk about
“Italian food”
What You Really Want: People & Publications YourAudience Engages
With Most
Small overall following, but reaches
exactly who we want to reach!
Think Beyond Pay-to-Post#3
Don’t get stuck thinking
only about ways to show
up here.
Especially when engagement
may be bigger & cheaper
elsewhere.
8 Pay-to-Post Alternatives
2: Story Pitches (to cover a space, trend, data, or news)
1: Guest Content (editorials, blog posts, native ads)
3: Podcast, Interview, or Video Guest Pitch
4: Day or Week-longAccount Swap/Takeover
5: Research Project or Field Trip Sponsorship
6: Content Partnership Invitation
7: Email Newsletter Inclusion
8: Brand Co-Creations / Partnerships

6: Content Partnership Invitation
7: Email Newsletter Inclusion
8: Brand Co-Creations / Partnerships
BONUS: Many of these
help with other channels
of influence, upgrading
their ROI
Use a Combination of Direct
& Indirect Outreach#4
But, Rand…
When I ask directly for coverage,
amplification, links, mentions, etc,
I get nowhere 
Direct Works Great Once a RelationshipAlready Exists…
Request for something
comes into my inbox…
Do I KnowThis Person?
Yes!And I
like them.
Never heard of
them.
No, but I know of them or their
company/organization
High
Likelihood of
a Yes
High
Likelihood of
a No
Depends on the ask, their brand, my
history, the relevance, timing, etc.
In Some Cases, Indirect is the Way to Go:
I want these things
Get more people to know, like, and
trust me (and my brand)
Links to my site
Create unique value that stands
out to your audience
Press coverage
SocialAmplification
What can I do that will deliver those?
Focus outreach on these goals first
Getting Responses is Vastly Easier When
You’re Already Known & Liked!
Not Just Influencers.
Influence
Let’s Create
Ready?

  • 20. IM Reaches People Through Sources They Know, Like, & Trust e.g. Andrew’s an award- winning mixologist and a friend. This post isn’t sponsored, but even if it were, I’d probably still trust his opinion.

No. * Via RivalIQ
  • 38. Metrics Accountability Via TheDrum “I do campaigns for brands on a weekly basis and less than half ever come back for metrics; less than 50% ever want to know what’s happened. That makes me think it’s PRs playing a numbers game and once a campaign has gone no one is really interested.”

  • 63. Use a Combination of Direct & Indirect Outreach#4

No, but I know of them or their company/organization High Likelihood of a Yes High Likelihood of a No Depends on the ask, their brand, my history, the relevance, timing, etc.
  • 66. In Some Cases, Indirect is the Way to Go: I want these things Get more people to know, like, and trust me (and my brand) Links to my site Create unique value that stands out to your audience Press coverage SocialAmplification What can I do that will deliver those? Focus outreach on these goals first
