I know, I know we’ve all made fun of fangirls in the past. But if there’s anything we’ve learned from the Swifties last year, it’s that they (we) are powerful. And we take some serious action. According to Pollstar, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour grossed over $1 billion — $1,039,263,762 — making it the single highest-grossing trek of all time and the first tour ever to cross the 10-digit threshold. Put into perspective, The Eras Tour is 11.3% of the entire $9.17 billion Top 100 Worldwide Tour Chart gross. Call it “girl math” but even though times are tough, the fangirls are buying like crazy and ra ..read more

Not so long ago, influencer marketing was a “nice to have.” It was new, exciting, kind of confusing, and a bit of a wild, wild west. A shiny new, but still fringe, marketing tactic.
You may have dabbled in working with creators if/when you had some leftover fiscal year funds. Perhaps you experimented with an affiliate program with mixed results. Maybe, like many other marketers, you were inconsistent or simply “stuck a pin” in your influencer marketing campaign efforts while turning your attention to paid or traditional marketing tactics…
Nowadays, influencer marketing is no longer a “ni ..read more

Fiverr, a freelance services marketplace, wanted to build a talent pool of creatives—writers, designers, video editors, and more—to help businesses find all these services in a single place. The company knew these creatives went to YouTube to hone their skills and pick up new ideas.

Are you on the lookout for a marketing strategy that checks off all your targets and can potentially produce a tremendous return on investment? B2B Influencer marketing fits the bill quite perfectly.
While influencers have traditionally dominated the B2C sector, influencer marketing is quickly becoming a game-changer for the B2B domain.

Onalytica recently released a report looking at the average rates influencers were charging across varying activities. Our aim was to show what brands can expect to pay, and to show B2B influencer rates that should be charged based on industry averages.
B2C influencer marketing has been around for around 15 years and is pretty well-established, set to be worth a whopping $15 Billion this year. B2B influencer marketing is still finding its feet and as such, is very much like the wild west; pretty lawless and no-one really knows what’s going on.
In light of this, we thought it best to start addi ..read more

Influencer marketing has been on the rise for several years now and it is not showing any signs of slowing down.

There’s no impulse shopping in the B2B sector (or at least not as much as in retail), so influencer marketing has to rely on long-term relationships between influencers and their target customers.
How do you find the right influencers to help ..read more
