Have we reached peak influencer? People are now quitting their jobs to become full-time Instagram influencers, and self-made YouTube stars are the new Hollywood A-list. All entertainment aside, these influencers present an incredible business opportunity for brands to connect with their audiences through trusted community leaders.
We interview Jackie Sobon (a food blogger, photographer, cookbook author, and social media influencer) to get the influencer's perspective on how marketers can make these partnerships more effective — and what drives her crazy about today's influencer marketing arrangements. We also ask Lee Odden (CEO of TopRank Marketing) about the best marketing KPIs and types of content for influencer relationships, as well as the future of this emerging tactic.
