It adds authenticity to your brand
As Gabrielle Archambault, Senior Manager of eos explains:
“Influencers not only amplify your brand reach on social, they add an element of authenticity to your message. Though consumers can love brands, they have been trained to be somewhat skeptical of them and the content/message they distribute.
“Content and messaging created by influencers isn’t yet held to that level of scrutiny and is seen as more organic, even when ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ is included.
“As a brand, it’s one thing to tell consumers “I’m cool”, it’s significantly more powerful to have a person that a consumer admires say that your brand is cool.”
To add weight to Gabrielle’s point, a study by Social Media Explorer discovered that 92% of customers are more likely to trust an individual (influencer) over a brand – it’s no wonder that influencer marketing is so effective, then.
