Why Influencer Marketing Is the Only Marketing You Need

WHY INFLUENCER MARKETING IS THE ONLY MARKETING YOU NEED

freedom | @leighgeorge

BRANDS ARE ALL IN ON ACQUISITION


Getting our attention is expensiveIT’S NOT EFFECTIVE


AND IT’S TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS


SO WE AVOID ADS EVERY WAY WE CAN


SO WHY DO WE KEEP USING A FAILING MEDIA-CENTRIC MODEL?


WE NEED A MODEL BUILT AROUND OUR CUSTOMERS


OUR BUYING DECISIONS ARE LED BY PEOPLE WE TRUST


A PEOPLE-CENTRIC MODEL ENCOURAGES INCREASED BRAND PASSION


CASUAL FANS | SOCIAL FOLLOWERS

PASSIONATE FANS | INFLUENTIAL

SUPER LOYAL | SUPER INFLUENCE

AND SHIFTS LOYALTY FROM TRANSACTIONS TO BRAND VALUE


OFFER UNIQUE AND MEMORABLE BRAND EXPERIENCES FOR YOUR BASE


CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONALIZATION

@leighgeorge

MAKE THE PASSIONATE MIDDLE FEEL SPECIAL


DIAL UP THE EXCLUSIVITY AND ACCESS FOR THE MOST LOYAL AND INFLUENTIAL


GIVE PEOPLE A REASON TO CREATE CONTENT FOR YOU


INFLUENCE IS ALWAYS CONTEXTUAL


SO PICK THE RIGHT MATCH


DON’T FORGET


Replace your media-based model focused on an interruptive style of acquisition with a people-centric model based on how we actually make purchase decisions

Use custom programs based on network value and

brand passion to cultivate engagement and advocacy

Collaborate with influencers based on shared values,

audiences and objectives
