Creating phenomenons

Bringing the influencer posts to advertisement
Do you want to get everything out of your investment, whether the influencer marketing is happening on TikTok or Instagram? Great news: on both platforms you can take advantage of the content of influencer marketing in a very agile way. The advertisement done through the platforms' own tools is a great addition to especially adding reach to the collaboration.
3 tips to advertising with influencer content
a) Targeting
In advertisement, influencers' posts can be targeted for the wanted target group, when for example the locally relevant content can be shared to the target group that doesn't follow the influencer.
b) Fixing the contracts
It's good to be on the same page with the influencer about using the content in advertisement. Only to mark the post with the Branded Content tool doesn't need negotiation, but bringing the content to additional advertisement sometimes means an additional campaign payment to the influencer for digital rights to their photos.
c) Briefing the influencer
Focus on the influencer brief and the pre-check of the material, if the content will be used in advertisement as it is. Especially important factors are the beginning of the copy text and the visibility of the brand on the photos.

Involve the audience with the influencers
Involvement is one of the core strengths of influencer marketing. How can you get everything out of it?
- Listen carefully what your target audience wants. Good communicational relationship between the influencer and their audience enables to edit the content by the audience's wishes. When the audience takes part in creating the content, the engagement is usually higher.
- Extend the influencers' posts to the brand's own channels. The exclusive content made by the influencers creates traffic to the brand's channels in an efficient way.
- Think of the ways you can make the audience to get excited about the campaign, authentically get involved and create earned content. Could you for example host an event for both inluencers and their followers, or take advantage of the influencers' channels to for example a friend search, finding recepies or to something completely different?
