Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a few years, influencer marketing has become a multi-billion dollar industry. While social media platforms provide a wide array of data on influencer's posts, interpreting it correctly to measure the effectiveness and efficiency remains a large challenge. This thesis examines the current state of measuring influencer marketing by highlighting the reasons for its importance, the challenges involved and the current methods used to approach optimal measurement. On the basis of a literature review, an empirical study is conducted with qualitative expert interviews with practitioners, agencies and independent experts. This knowledge is then applied in a case study in collaboration with a company from the activewear industry. The findings display that measuring is crucial to justify the investment and to learn and improve the current conduct. However, it faces severe difficulties: Focusing and formulating clear objectives despite the many possibilities, the inherent loss of control to influencers and platforms, multiple undetectable fraud possibilities, the probable lack of correlation between audience engagement and the value of product placements and limited trackability of awareness and image effects. While best practice has yet to be established, multiple reliable methods to measure the effectiveness and efficiency were found such as the use of affiliate links and voucher codes to track traffic and sales, calculation of metrics such as the net reach among the target group, extraction of the influencer media value and conducting a qualitative sentiment analysis. Recommended is a company- and objective-specific selection of multiple metrics. The case study displays that establishing the cause and effect connections linking influencer marketing to the financial result is universally beneficial, while the full application of the elaborated influencer marketing balanced scorecard is only suggested if influencer marketing is at t.

Download or read book Modeling and Discovering Authentic and Effective Influencers on Social Media Via Graph Neural Network Learning written by Seungbae Kim and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Influencer marketing, a word-of-mouth marketing strategy that leverages prominent individuals on social media, has been gaining great traction in recent years. As the number of influencers has explosively increased with the rapid growth of the influencer marketing industry, several issues in evaluating and discovering valuable influencers have been raised, including the influencer fraud problem. These issues arise from utilizing solely quantitative metrics such as the number of followers to identify influencers on social media. Although these quantitative indicators can measure the influence of social media users to some extent, it is challenging to evaluate the quality of influencers with such metrics. In this dissertation, we propose several graph learning frameworks that incorporate various input sources from social media including text, images, and graphs, to evaluate influencers in the first place. To that end, we build and analyze social networks of influencers based on the posting, interacting, and advertising behaviors of influencers to find valuable insights by understanding the social relations of influencers. The frameworks presented in this dissertation take the influencer social networks with decent features from multi-modal inputs and then assess qualities of influencers, including transparency, loyalty, authenticity, and efficiency of influencers. As a result, the proposed methodologies not only address pressing issues in the influencer marketing industry but also advance multi-modal graph learning-based applications.

Download or read book Social Media Influencers in Strategic Communication written by Nils S. Borchers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to draw a comprehensive picture of influencer collaborations from a strategic communication perspective. The contributors tackle strategic influencer communication from multidisciplinary perspectives, from varying actor foci, and from different methodological frameworks and methods. Influencers cross traditional boundaries in many ways and oscillate between intimacy and publicity, authenticity and commercialization, ingratiation and critical distance. From a strategic communication perspective, this variability makes influencers hard to capture: organizations can cooperate with influencers to achieve both marketing and PR objectives. Influencers can act as cooperation partners, integrating commercial content into organic narratives, or as independent critics. Influencers also combine different roles that have traditionally been occupied by separate actors such as intermediary, content distributor, creative content producer, community manager, testimonial, strategic counsellor, and event host. The combination of these roles in just one actor opens new opportunities for strategic communication and can produce appreciated synergy effects. It is therefore hardly surprising that influencer collaborations have become a firmly established instrument in the toolbox of strategic communicators. The chapters in this book were originally published in the International Journal of Advertising and the International Journal of Strategic Communication.
