Its thriving popularity is apparent \u2014 as of the start of this year, more than <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/social-media-users\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">55% of the total global population are now social media users<\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Social media has become an essential part of organizations Public Relations (PR) strategy. It allows for boundless possibilities to cultivate positive relationships with stakeholders \u2014 from communicating the brand message via content distribution, to creating campaign hashtags that could facilitate user conversations online.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the realm of social media, PR practitioners in the consumer goods industry often engage social media <a href=\"https:\/\/influencermarketinghub.com\/what-is-an-influencer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">influencers<\/a> to promote positive branding and increase customer engagement and awareness. Organizations have been spending hefty sums on influencers. In 2018, global spending on Instagram influencer marketing reached USD 5.67 billion and was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/950920\/global-instagram-influencer-marketing-spending\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">projected to grow further to USD 8.08 billion by the end of 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But are influencers really that influential?<\/p>\n<h3>Trust, or lack thereof<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It turns out that some research studies have cast doubt over the effectiveness of influencers. A research study published in 2019 by Oracle found that <a href=\"https:\/\/smartercx.com\/influencer-marketing-are-influencers-even-influential\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">86% of respondents admitted that they did not trust influencers or bloggers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, influencers lose to trusted individuals and online reviews in terms of influence. US consumers are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingcharts.com\/cross-media-and-traditional\/word-of-mouth-106441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than five times as likely to have made a big purchase<\/a> due to a recommendation from a trusted friend or family member (65%) than as a result of seeing an online influencer own or endorse the product or service (12%). Online reviews are also an influential source of information \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">79% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations<\/a> from friends or family. On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/ng\/en\/press-room\/global-consumer-insights-survey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">less than 20% of consumers<\/a> indicate that they are likely to buy a product because of a celebrity or influencer.<\/p>\n<h3>Different strokes for different folks and goals<\/h3>\n<p>But as we take a closer look at different generations, there is a stark difference. Gen Z consumers, for instance, seem to trust influencers more easily \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingdive.com\/news\/gen-z-relies-on-influencers-for-purchase-decisions-kantar-says\/582890\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost half (44%) of them have made a purchase decision<\/a> based on a recommendation from an influencer. Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/marketing-strategies\/video\/youtube-stars-influence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">four in 10 millennial subscribers to YouTube<\/a> say that their favorite influencer understands them better than their friends. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressboardmedia.com\/magazine\/influencers-pr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">38% of individuals aged 18 to 34 actually trust what influencers say<\/a> about a company more than what the company says about itself. As such, whether an influencer is effective or not greatly hinges on the target audience.<\/p>\n<p>Different types of influencers can also result in disparate outcomes. Micro- and nano-influencers \u2014 more like everyday consumers \u2014 tend to be more relatable and their product features come across like a trusted recommendation from a friend, garnering them better engagement. Micro-influencers have between 10,000 and 100,000 followers while nano-influencers usually have only a few thousand followers. <a href=\"https:\/\/later.com\/blog\/instagram-influencer-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Influencers with 0 to 25,000 followers had higher engagement rates<\/a> than influencers with more followers regardless of their genre, target audience or topics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, influencers with much larger followings \u2014 mega- or macro-influencers \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmswire.com\/digital-marketing\/social-media-influencers-mega-macro-micro-or-nano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are more useful in providing exposure for brands<\/a> and reaching out to the masses. A mega-influencer typically has more than a million influencers, and is often more famous than influential with a very diverse audience with varying topics of interest; whereas a macro-influencer has between 100,000 and one million followers and has usually amassed fame through the internet. Even if consumers don\u2019t trust influencers, it doesn\u2019t mean the use of influencers is futile; brands can impact consumers indirectly through appearances in their social media newsfeed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s Next<\/h3>\n<p>However, with a growing number of influencers permeating the social media space, there runs the risk of \u2018influencer fatigue.\u2019 There is now a growing demand for authentic and meaningful engagement, especially among millennials and Gen Z-ers. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Authenticity is the new scroll stopper. Users have been subjected to a ceaseless stream of clich\u00e9 and repetitive influencer content, to the point they get tired of them \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkfluence.com\/blog\/influencer-fatigue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost half, 47%, of consumers are fatigued by repetitive influencer content<\/a>, according to survey findings from consumers across Europe.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, influencer content needs to be dynamic \u2013 influencers need to constantly review their content to meet consumers\u2019 burgeoning expectations. Furthermore, choosing the right influencer is of utmost importance. Apart from choosing an influencer who fits the organization\u2019s target audience and goals, the values and audience\u2019s needs of brands need to be aligned with that of the influencers they collaborate with. Ideally, the influencer should communicate in a way that is similar to the brand to ensure that the brand\u2019s messages would resonate with the right people.<\/p>\n<p>Although the influencer landscape is far from straightforward, it is evident that influencers can be valuable assets to a PR strategy with the right target audience and type of influencer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without a doubt, technology has opened the door to one of the most remarkable and recent inventions, social media.
