What is influencer marketing?

Influencer marketing is an increasingly popular social media strategy of using high-profile social influencers within your industry to authentically promote your brand, products or services.

Influencers are experts and thought leaders in their respective professional domains. They help build trust by creating authentic content and sharing insights that can be shared across professional networks, with the support of a leading influencer marketing agency like CWA.

More than that, social influencers can enhance credibility, impact purchasing decisions and add authenticity to your marketing strategy.

What are the different types of influencers?

CWA works with influencers of all types, from small scale up to mega influencers.

Mega influencers

Those with the highest social reach, mega influencers are those with a following typically in the millions. They can often be industry leaders that have crossed into mainstream media, or celebrities who started out in a specific industry. They can reach a broad and diverse audience due to their widespread popularity, but a high following does not necessarily always equate to high engagement rates.

Macro-influencers

Macro influencers have a substantial following, typically up to a million, and will be considered experts or leaders in their specific niche. Their reach makes them suitable to balance mass appeal with high engagement, although they will inevitably cost more than micro-influencers for influencer marketing activity.

Micro-influencers

Micro-influencers have a smaller but more engaged social media audience, usually specific to an individual niche or industry. They can provide a more cost-effective option but with carefully crafted content, engagement can be more meaningful - especially amongst targeted and trustful audiences.

Nano-influencers

Nano-influencers are highly engaged individuals with a smaller but more targeted following, which makes them ideal for niche online marketing activity. They may have a smaller following (typically a few thousand), but they can drive influence and foster trust within their specific community.

Thought leaders

Thought leaders could include key figures from industry associations who add influence and authority to a campaign. They can back up points made in brand content and add an impartial voice for added trust, boosting the impact of your marketing activity within a specific industry.

Celebrity influencers

Celebrity influencers can include sports influencers, social media influencers and lifestyle influencers, who are typically associated with a consumer audience but can elevate marketing campaigns if aligned.

CWA supports you from start to finish, whether identifying the right influencer to represent your brand or working to deliver the right content to target your audience.

Brand advocates

Brand advocates typically work over a longer period to help influence other individuals and increase brand sentiment. We work with clients to seek and engage brand advocates, offering an element of social trust to marketing activity that drives positive sentiment and brand awareness.
