Influencer Marketing: The Evolution From Content to Cultivation
Webinar Focuses on How Brands Can Use Influencers to Drive Marketing Campaigns and Increase ROI
TORONTO--(Marketwired - Jul 12, 2013) - Online influencers are using social media to shape brand perceptions and sway both B2C and B2B purchasing decisions on a scale that was unthinkable just a few years ago. Successful marketers know that in order to thrive in today's business climate they must identify their key influencers, listen to what they're saying, and engage them so they recommend their brand. On Tuesday, July 23, Marketwired Manager of Strategic Agencies Jeff Cann and our guest Forrester Analyst Zachary Reiss-Davis will discuss how this new business climate is evolving during a free webinar: "Influencer Marketing: The Evolution from Content to Cultivation."
"People have always relied on word-of-mouth referrals from credible sources when making purchasing decisions. Today, social media is where they go. Brands must learn to identify and engage these 'online influencers' to improve their marketing campaigns. This webinar will provide actionable tips to help get them started," said Cann.
In addition to discussing the evolution of influencer marketing, Cann and Reiss-Davis will share case studies of how companies are finding and cultivating online influencers. Plus, they will provide valuable insights for how brands can use influencers to inform and improve marketing campaigns to increase ROI.
