Behind the Brand: 30 Influencers that Drive Social for the Brands We Love

Behind the Brand Influencers that

Drive Social Media for the Brands We Love

30

A Social Insights Showcase from: In collaboration with:

The concept of “influence” has rapidly found its way into most marketing programs and industry dialogue. On the heels of my book Human to Human, we decided to embark on a different type of influence research project. We partnered with Leadtail to transcend the world of lists and rankings, in order to define new engagement styles that tell us more about the humans behind the influence. Our chosen group of influencers are people that work daily on strategy and execution for their brands. Who are these people? How do they engage on social media as humans? Who and what influences them, and what can others learn from them?

I personally found this project rewarding as it demonstrated the ability to go beyond the superficial rank and file of typical lists. To paraphrase from Human to Human; “It takes a lot of hard work to make something so complex look so easy. Some call it brilliance, but perhaps we should call it speaking human.” I hope that you can benefit from our study of these 30 successful influencers. They have found ways to speak human, and have each triumphed through their own influential engagement styles.

True Influence is #H2H

Behind the Brand | October 2014

There’s no question that technology has made it easier than ever to analyze, segment, and target buyers. Yet marketers still struggle to develop compelling brand content and effectively engage on social media. Why is that? Because we forget that it starts with thinking of our customers and prospects as people. Not database segments, email addresses, or users… but real people. This is what Bryan Kramer is helping us all remember: that people connect, build relationships, and influence other people, human-to-human (#H2H).

With this in mind, we are proud to have collaborated with Bryan and his team at PureMatter to develop this social insights report showcasing 30 top digital and social marketers. After all, it’s these smart and savvy marketers that are the real people behind many of the brands that are seeing success on social media. What can we learn from these top digital marketers, and how do we engage and influence them? That’s what this report is all about… enjoy!

About Our Approach ‣  The executives we looked at for our study are a mix of rising social media stars

and digital veterans, all of whom wield influence over the strategy and execution of social and digital brand communications.

‣  These influencers are highly sought after by brands and vendors that sell to marketing decision makers – whether they’re pitching marketing tech, event sponsorships, ad space or airline tickets.

‣  Though we analyzed individual Twitter handles (vs. brand handles), many of these influencers use Twitter to engage friends, colleagues, brands, and media on behalf of themselves AND their brand.

‣  Unlike survey data, this report summarizes behavioral data - what the executives we studied empirically DO: who they mention, what they share, and how they engage.

5 Behind the Brand | October 2014

About this Study ‣  Certain events, people, and media sources are clear winners when it comes to

“influencing the influencers”; these are the ones to emulate if you want to earn attention from this coveted audience.

‣  As we analyzed the Twitter behavior of our 30 influencers, 3 different engagement styles emerged – each with its own unique characteristics.

‣  Conversationalists: most likely to mention others; focused on engagement

‣  Amplifiers: most likely to share links and retweets; focused on topics

‣  Brand Champions: most likely to share multi-media; focused on brand

‣  For each type of influencer we identified, we’ve included actionable recommendations for how you can become more like that type, and how to reach and engage that type of influencer.

Let’s dive in and meet our influencers…

Meet the Conversationalists



Why Do Conversationalists Matter? Conversationalists are interested in dialog and engagement. They’re the ones who bring new voices into conversations and bridge the online-offline gap by building authentic relationships in both areas. What Makes Someone a Conversationalist? We defined Conversationalists as people who had a “mention to tweet” ratio > 0.95, which means almost every tweet they publish mentions someone. Also, Conversationalists regularly share links, but at a rate somewhat lower than the Amplifiers we’ll meet later. How Can You Become a Conversationalist? In short, have more conversations! Ask questions, make comments, and find areas of common interest with the people you engage on social media. When you share content, add your own perspective or ask others for theirs. How Can You Reach & Engage Conversationalists? By definition these are people who want to engage, so don’t be afraid to reach out to them with genuine questions or comments. Once connected online, events are a great way to build the offline relationship by meeting up face to face.

Meet the Amplifiers



Why Do Amplifiers Matter? Amplifiers act as our trusted curators. They know their business top to bottom, left to right, and have put in the time to build up trust, credibility, and an audience around their areas of expertise. Amplifiers make sure the best ideas are shared and heard on social media. What Makes Someone an Amplifier? We defined Amplifiers as people who shared links and/or retweeted others’ content at a higher rate than the other marketers in our data set. Additionally, Amplifiers tend to center around one or two core themes, sharing content and perspectives that build their personal brand around those topics. How Can You Become an Amplifier? Ironically, one of the best ways to become an effective amplifier is to hone your listening skills. The ability to pick out unique POVs and information from the sea of “me too” content builds trust with your audience and makes you a sought-after influencer for others that wish to reach that audience. How Can You Reach & Engage Amplifiers? Amplifiers are a discerning bunch, not particularly likely to share your content simply because you ask (or pay!). Bring something to the table that enhances their credibility in their area of expertise, and expands their audience, and you’ll be on the right track.

Meet the Brand Champions



Why Do Brand Champions Matter? Brand champions are powerful advocates for their brand, and important signatures of authenticity. After all, if the people responsible for creating the brand don’t reflect the core values and lifestyle the brand promises, all the advertising in the world can’t help you! What Makes Someone a Brand Champion? We defined Brand Champions as people whose tone and content are consistently in strong alignment with their brand. Brand Champions are also the most likely to cross post from multiple networks through Twitter, and to share more types of content, e.g. location check-ins, photos, and videos. How Can You Become a Brand Champion? Maybe this kind of “kindred spirit” with the brand is something you’re born with… but anyone can review what they publish on social media and reflect on how well it aligns with the values of their brand. And if you find they don’t line up – which one needs to change? How Can You Reach & Engage Brand Champions? In large part, Brand Champions are multi-media mavens – so show, don’t tell. A cold email that talks about how creative and enthusiastic you are about their brand is likely to fall flat. Think instead about how you can demonstrate the value of what you have to say in a way that shows you “get” them and their brand.

We are proud of the many awards won over the last 13 years – Webby, Print International Design Annual, W3, Graphic Design Monthly, Logo Lounge, Fast 50, ADDYs and “2013 Content Marketing Campaign of the Year” by the Content Marketing Institute and Disqus for #90DaystoEllen – to name a few.

Our “Substance" Content Series of videos and webinars features perspectives about marketing, technology and social media. Contributors include a mix of thought leaders from humanitarians like Ted Turner, founder of CNN, to heads of marketing for Fortune 50 brands like Cisco, SAP and IBM. Most recently, we launched Substantium (www.substantium.com), which helps thinkers of substance in marketing, social, technology and human behavior become published authors.

Our President, Bryan Kramer, was named as one of the “Top 50 Social CEOs on Twitter” by the Huffington Post, a “Top 25 Influencer to Follow” on Forbes and one of the “100 Most Influential Tech People On Twitter” by Business Insider. Bryan’s first book “Human to Human: #H2H” debuted in the Top 1% of business books on Amazon. The #H2H moniker is shifting the paradigm about how people think about marketing.
