Yesterday, we talked about the power of marketing influencers.
Today, we present an infographic by Traackr:
“With one tweet, tap, or snap, we interact with our peers in an instant, as we do with brands. This new social fabric affects how people relate to and involve themselves with brands, ultimately enabling them to be more than just buyers. Brands set to succeed in this new environment have acknowledged the fundamental retooling and transformation already underway. Thus, they have made strides to value their community, and in turn become valued members.We believe that influencer marketing can be the catalyst for brands to cross the chasm. Influencers offer a unique lens for a brand to relate to its community and earn its trust.”

It is particularly interesting how influencers now a days truly operate. In many industries it is quite similar. Previously, blog posts were considered to be the “it” medium and now there are so many other platforms. Technology changes are such a heavy part in the success of influencers. I find it particularly interesting that brand considers itself successful when it is trending. It is quite interesting that perhaps this concept was in existence previously, but there now is a word to describe this popularity.
