Your Influencer Marketing strategy won’t be scalable unless you follow a framework.
Here’s Step 1 of the 3-step formula:
The first stage is always all about gathering knowledge.
– Start small, working with Nano and Micro Influencers
– Identify initial content verticals based on your target demos
– Test the potential of these verticals and sub-verticals
– Examine data at scale to identify which verticals are worth scaling with
When you have sufficient data to make reliable conclusions about a vertical’s potential:
Move on to Phase 2: Optimisation.
Profitably scaling Influencer Marketing – Optimisation.
Phase 2 is where you optimise the creatives you use to actually convert the audiences in these niches.
This involves iterating with
– Visual elements of the integration
– Talking points
– CTAs
– Different Live Ops and events
– Initial additional incentives like gift codes
Once you’ve figured out the optimal setup, you can move onto Phase 3 and scale with larger influencers.
The BEST time to work with Mega influencers?
AFTER you’ve gathered initial knowledge and optimised your setup to understand
– Which verticals and sub-verticals work best
– What incentives are most effective (gift codes, welcome packs, etc)
– How in-game events can affect different KPIs
Mega-influencer collaborations make up Phase 3 in my Testing Framework.
Here’s where I apply my learnings from Phases 1 and 2 so I can scale up to working with mega-influencers with minimal risk and maximum ROI.
This is where I integrate tactics like custom in-game assets to improve performance further!
