ZINE The Platform That Will Save Influencer Marketing?
Everyone listens to someone. Today that “someone” is usually an insta-famous social media personality. Those real-time fashionistas, lavish-lifestyle instagrammers, opinionated bloggers and entertaining vloggers, are now the most trusted sources and influential individuals when it comes to promoting brands.
Influencer marketing takes full advantage of that. It’s the most effective way for brands to take products to market and to tap into their desired audience. The idea involves, getting a trusted source to share a brand’s message, instantly, to a gathered mass of individuals who not only share similar interests but also constitute the perfect target market for a brand. In theory transforming the brand’s message into sales and hard cash. But in the real world influencer marketing doesn’t work quite as smoothly.
There are thousands of influencers out there, which makes it hard for brands to see the wood from the trees; so brands just don’t know where to begin. In the race against time that is the ever changing social media blogosphere brands are resorting to indiscriminately and even randomly spamming and gifting their latest products to a myriad of influencers, with high hopes of getting a picture or a blog post in return from a small percentage of those recipients. Brands not only continually fail to identify influencers who actually represent and reflect their brand’s image, but also lose track of their collaborations. The result is a loss of complete control over their brand’s marketing and image.
On the other side of the coin, brands frustrate influencer’s expectations when it comes to paid collaborations. In the innumerable, informal, fuzzy and faceless collaboration arrangements of the online world it’s often difficult for influencers to clearly ascertain their terms of engagement. So having taken the time to write a spellbinding blog post or posted that inspiring picture to thousands of followers, the influencer’s pay is then often completely overlooked.
So there we have it, influencer marketing, an industry caught in a double bluff… or so it was before the inception of Zine; the largest global platform for influencers and brands in the making.
