Historically a loosely regulated, “wild west” industry, influencer marketing is enjoying unprecedented popularity among marketers in 2017; the consumer’s growing preference for “authentic” trusted opinion married with advances in standardisation and campaign measurement has transformed the channel into a versatile and viable option for the ROI-driven marketer.
“Over the last few years, influencer marketing has grown exponentially and opened up new opportunities for brands to reach and engage their target audience through the content they are already consuming,” said Abi Jacks, director of marketing at Rakuten Marketing, adding that “relatively new” developments are not without challenges.
