WHAT IS INFLUENCER
MARKETING? 92%
trust
You’ve decided you want to reach consumers in ways they can’t influencer
and won’t ignore. You don’t want to just sell to them through the marketing
boring, typical online advertisements - you want to influence them
on the channels they already love and visit frequently. You’ve
probably run at least one or two influencer marketing campaigns
by this time, but even if you haven’t, this guide will help you plan
your upcoming campaigns for 2020 and beyond.

It’s clear that influencer marketing will only become an even more critical component of any digital marketing mix in 2020, as
92% of consumers trust influencer marketing over traditional advertising, according to the Nielsen Consumer Trust Index.

And that’s why influencer has quickly moved from a start and stop, once or twice a year tactic, to a year-round strategy. Last year,
almost half - 42% - of marketers said that they are already employing a year-round strategy around influencers and we anticipate
this number to double in 2020.

Whether you’re new to influencer marketing, or enhancing your influencer strategy to take it to the next level, you’ll want
to maximize your efforts and avoid rookie mistakes. This playbook lays out 6 steps that will help you strategize and execute
influencer marketing based on your brand’s needs and desired outcomes, while keeping in mind your brand’s authentic voice.
Since authenticity is what’s connecting you to your consumers, it’s important to make sure you choose the right set of influencers
who speak to them with authority.

IN THE KNOW:
Micro-influencers have an average engagement rate of almost 3%, more than what brands usually see for their own content.
And more than half - 57% of marketers - said influencer content regularly outperforms branded content.

To help find the best influencers, Linqia uses its proprietary PerformanceMatch™ technology using AI to analyze its network of 100,000+ influencers to find the
best influencers for each campaign’s needs. This is done using machine learning that has identified patterns in both copy and imagery to identify things like a
specific brand affinity, interests, or sentiment to find the right influencers that will make the right connection with consumers.
 TYPES OF
INFLUENCERS

Nano: Under 5K followers on Instagram

Everyday people with a small, generally more friend-based following. They can be used to create buzz within a very
targeted audience. Think of Nano as synonymous with the original word-of-mouth approach for spreading information.

Micro: Micro: 5K-100K followers on Instagram

These people are influencers with a smaller but dedicated following, covering a niche market. Their content is generally
more authentic because they have a closer relationship with their audience. They can be more easily paired with a
CORE 3

performance-based payment model to drive true accountability and measurable results at scale.

Macro: Macro: 100K-500K followers on Instagram

A hybrid between the traits of micro and mega influencers. A general trend is that these influencers are more likely to
work for a flat-flee. The quality of content takes a big leap compared to Micro, but the engagement rate also decreases
compared to Micro.

Mega: Mega: 500K-5 Million followers on Instagram

Megas specialize in driving high-impact awareness with a very broad reach - not good for niche markets. Mega influencers
cost more, but the quality of their content is close to that of a creative agency. You can also be more prescriptive with
the types of content they produce. These influencers almost always work on a flat-fee model and generally have talent
agencies that they work with.
Celebrity: 5 Million+
You know, famous people. Think Kim Kardashian, Lebron James, or Chrissy Tiegan. These are people who are famous for
one thing but also have a committed and passionate online following across many channels.

MCDONALD’S
The Golden Arches wanted to raise awareness for their Halloween-
themed ‘Trick. Treat. Win!’ promotion. Linqia developed a 4-week
plan involving 20 African-American influencers between the ages of
18–35. These influencers shared blog posts and posts of them visiting
McDonald’s and enjoying the tasty burgers and delicious fries in their
restaurants or back at home on social media.

Linqia tested and promoted the best-performing content, then

partnered with Placed to track when restaurant visits occurred because
of the promoted influencer content.

The result? Increased consideration from viewers and increased foot

traffic into McDonald’s restaurants. Over 82K engagements and a 98%
positive sentiment score earned Mickey D’s a boost of 540k incremental
visits to McDonald’s stores, resulting in a 23% lift in foot traffic! That’s a
lotta Big Mac attacks.

“The reason we work with influencers is we like having other

people talk about us. If we take that same message and put
that on our channels, it falls on deaf ears.” –Joe Piaskowy,
Social Engagement Manager at McDonald’s

are willing to try your product and provide feedback? When an influencer
posts about your product, you’re able to immediately gauge the reaction of

ADVICE:
consumers! It’s the world’s biggest and most authentic focus group.

Thinking small can yield big results. Micro influencers can serve as an
incredibly valuable test group because in a typical campaign, you can work
USING INFLUENCERS with a large number of them all at once. Giving them loose guidelines, you
can see their creativity and how they’re showing your product in-use in their
AS A FOCUS GROUP own unique ways. They’re setting the tone and showing their followers - and
you - how your brand or product can be used in the real world.

Macro influencers are generally treated with more prescriptive directions, and due to the high cost to activate them, brands
generally set specific guidelines to get the most out of each post. With their mass following, this play is intriguing because you
can see how a huge audience reacts via comments, engagement rates, and shares. This can help you gauge the ‘stickiness’ of your
product on the market.

After you’ve run through a campaign, whether you activated Micro, Macro, Mega or any other mix, take a step back and evaluate
what the reaction was from both an influencer perspective as well as their audience. Take the time to go over successes, learnings,
and other other data points - or work with a partner who can do this analysis - that arose from the campaign and see where you can
pull that into future messaging, imagery, social media posts, and elsewhere.

LINQIA’S ADVANTAGE
Linqia analyzes trends and patterns for every campaign, including an analysis of the content created and the comments
shared, in one simple campaign report with key insights and learnings for future campaigns included.

A real-life example of this is when Linqia connected Dorot with 60+ influencers in the food, lifestyle, parenting, and home
& garden verticals to broadcast content around the brand’s new flavored herb cubes, one of which was a garlic flavor.
The influencer content ultimately revealed a product benefit that Dorot had never capitalized on before: how Dorot can
save people’s hands from smelling like garlic for hours, or days, after use! Unexpected outcomes like this highlight the
real-world testing benefits that influencers can offer for a brand.
ACTIVATING AN ALWAYS-ON APPROACH

Influencer marketing is most effective as an ‘always-on’ part of your marketing mix,

so you’ll need to integrate it into your thinking for the full year’s strategy, not just for
product launches and holidays. How did you answer question #4? Did you circle any
days on the 2020 calendar? It’s important to think of your year holistically. Don’t worry,
there will still be launches and specific campaigns, but building out a 2020 calendar
with all activities you want to activate influencers on will help you remain on consumers’
minds 24/7/365.

Start with your marketing team’s 2020 plan. Take a look at the times of the year you
want influencers to be activated to support those campaigns and then look outside of
those campaigns. What types of authentic content could influencers create to help keep
the conversation going?

You can even work with influencers who are already fans of your brand. To do so, find
a partner who can find influencers who already have a strong organic affinity for your
brand. In addition to having these influencers post during your bigger campaigns, you
can have them post in a coordinated fashion throughout lesser drive periods, and even
sporadically throughout the year as well.
 For example, imagine you’re a cheese brand and you have two big
campaigns - one around Cinco de Mayo and then again around the
December holidays. In between those times, the influencers you’ve
selected, like Dan the busy dad of two, can feature his favorite backyard
grilling cheeses a few times over the summer, or Cindy the entertainer
can show her cheese plate for her Galentine’s Day party. This keeps
your cheeses top of mind year-round, and when the larger Cinco de
Mayo campaign starts, the sponsored posts feel more authentic.
ACTIVATING AN
ALWAYS-ON APPROACH It’s also good to develop a way to rotate influencers throughout the
year if you find some aren’t having the impact you want. With your
partner, you can identify trends and measurements to automatically
assess performance. If an influencer is getting lower engagement rates
than what is desired, you’d have a deeper bench of talent to sub in to
drive better results.
 After your organic campaign has run its course, it’s imperative that you take advantage
of all the beautiful influencer produced content to drive additional results by
repurposing it through paid, owned and earned channels.

How did you answer question #5 and #6? Do you oversee other channels including
owned or paid channels? Or could you work with a colleague on implementing these
assets in other channels? If the answer is yes, read on!

Influencers create some amazing content, and by reusing it in other channels you can
see compelling results. In fact, we recently conducted a test comparing hundreds of
GO BEYOND ORGANIC
traditional brand created assets versus our influencer created content on paid media
channels and found that influencer content outperformed typical branded content with
a 2.7x better CTR!

Trying to decide how to repurpose influencer content? How did you answer question #7? Some of the most common channels are a
brand’s organic social media channel, your own website, and paid social channels - as well as some of our favorites:

Online Product Pages: Update your e-commerce pages on Amazon, Walmart.com, Target.com and other retailer websites by showing
your product in-use with actual influencers. Many of these pages are just static images of the product, or maybe one very sterile picture
of the product with a person.

Email Marketing: Email helps keep the conversation going between purchases by enforcing brand loyalty and showing unique use
cases for your products. If you’re a food brand, you can show different influencers using the same product in different recipes - and
even link out to the influencer’s recipes. Or if you’re a hair product, you can collect a number of images with different hair styles and
show all of them in an email to help the customer to find the exact right product.

Display Ads & Programmatic: With such a high CTR, it’s proven that running influencer content in programmatic channels can deliver
strong results. Consumers are looking for more authentic content, even when surfing the web. By seeing an influencer created asset
in the wild, they are more likely to interact with it and this allows your brand to seem more honest and authentic beyond the social
channels it may already be associated with.
 But don’t just re-use any content. Especially on paid channels when an additional line
item of budget is required, make sure the content is getting qualified first. Conduct a
series of qualification tests - or work with the right partner - to identify not just which
images to amplify on paid channels, but also which audiences to run the assets against.

Getting the digital rights to all the influencer content could be incredibly time
consuming, and you’d have to jump through too many hoops for it to be realistic.
Find a seasoned partner who allows you to have instant access to influencer imagery
immediately after influencers post to their social channels!

with third-party measurement studies. These reports

With results like this, it’s easy to see why more and more
marketers are investing in influencer.

Curious how much you should budget you should set

aside for influencer marketing in 2020? To get the answer,
we partnered with market research company Altimeter
who determined you should earmark up to 25% of
your total yearly digital marketing budget for influencer
marketing. And don’t forget, that includes organic and
paid amplification behind those influencer created assets.
 It’s dangerous to go at it alone! That’s why you should engage a
partner that knows the ins and outs of influencer marketing.

When writing your RFP, it’s important to find a partner who

offers managed services and will do all of the heavy lifting for
you. They should care about matching your brand with the
appropriate influencers to drive business results, not just simple
delivery of media metrics. You’ll also want to make sure that
the partner you choose provides scalable budgets, a turn-key
experience, and uses ironclad measurement tools. To help, we
PARTNERS IN PRIME included the items to include in your RFP, as well as copy you
can use when drafting your RFP.

What to include in an RFP ...

See Next Page
What to include in an RFP
High Quality Influencers
Influencers who meet, or exceed, average industry benchmarks (ex. engagement rate) and develop high quality content.
RFP ASK: Please provide up to 10 influencers with links to their social channels and their average engagement rate on campaigns they have run with you.

Influencer Audience Data

To understand if an influencer fits your target consumer, you must be able to gather in-depth insights on their audience - location, gender, age, etc.
RFP ASK: Do you provide audience data for influencers assigned to campaigns to ensure they are a perfect fit for our brand/product?

Static Images and Videos

With the rise of Instagram Stories and TikTok, make sure you’re working with a partner who also has a strong vertical video offering in addition to static images
RFP ASK: Do you also support vertical video? Provide 1-2 examples of past campaigns that included vertical video

Objectives & KPIs

One of the most important pieces of influencer marketing is tracking a campaign’s success, like you would with any other marketing campaign.
RFP ASK: What action are you looking for the influencers to take? What is the KPI or objective you will be using to measure success?
Can you guarantee performance?

Influencer and Content Review

Ability to review gives you the control to make sure you’re working with the right influencers and content aligns with your brand voice.
RFP ASK: Do you allow for review of both influencers and content before it goes live?

Creative Content Ideas

Work with a partner who takes the time to design a creative campaign from start to finish for your brand - complete with specific asks from influencers

RFP ASK: Do you provide me with the rights to all the content created by the influencers? How long after the campaign ends can I use the content for?
What to include in an RFP
Qualification Process
Work with a partner who has an established system for finding and pairing the right influencer content with the right audiences. These pairings can then be used
in paid channels. Many influencer companies only take what content performed best in the organic campaign, but this won’t tell the right story.
RFP ASK: What is your qualification process, if any, before you amplify influencer content?

Paid Media Support

Ability to run influencer content in paid social channels - including Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, and Twitter.
RFP ASK: How do you run paid media? What channels do you have expertise in?

RFP ASK: What technology do you have in-house to prevent fraud? What third-party fraud partners are you working with?

vendor is actually meeting your goals, as well as tie more closely to the metrics that matter most to you - from brand awareness down to sales lift.
RFP ASK: Who are your third-party measurement partners? What kinds of reports can you provide?

GOOD
FOODS
Healthy snack company GOODFOODS wanted to boost
awareness and sales of its line of natural guacamole and dips.
Linqia teamed with GOODFOODS’ agency to launch a ‘three-
flight’ influencer marketing program with tips for party planning
and healthy snacking.

In each of the three flights, influencers created original

content around seasonal events - football, Thanksgiving, and
Christmas/Hanukkah, respectively - and included recipes using
GOODFOODS products. Overall, Linqia influencers created 2,000
pieces of original content ranging from blog stories and recipes
to photographs, videos, and social media posts.

The content was promoted across social media and as native ads
at online publications like Newsweek and Women’s Health. The
result was a 3X lower Facebook cost-per-engagement, a 23%
increase in engagement, and a 34-44% conversion rate, with over
70K online clicks, likes, comments, retweets, and shares.
