Global Influencers on Instagram

Influencers

Accessing the world is easier than ever, but navigating it has proven to be trickier. When one single person can be the key to unlocking a specific target group, how do you identify them? Here is why you should aim global with influencers.

Instagram: The ultimate social media marketing channel

Influencer marketing increased in Google searches by 325 percent over the course of 2017, according to a study from Influencer Marketing Hub. In the same year, Instagram had 12.9 million sponsored posts – a number expected to double by the end of 2018. Instagram is seeing the most partnership activity of any social media platform, therefore, it is important to segment passionate influencers who can create engaging content that doesn’t look like paid advertising.

 

What type of influencer marketing works best?

Simply paying an influencer a large amount of money to smile and pose with your product isn’t the best way to work strategically with influencers. Companies that truly reap the rewards of influencer marketing are carefully picking global influencers who are passionate about their products or are leading figures in a niche closely related to what the company offers.

Think about it this way: As a consumer it’s easier to trust another person compared to a brand.

So, build a relationship with the influencer over a period of time to gain trust within your target audience. Influencers who show characteristics of credibility within their niche turn over the best results from partnerships. However, this does not mean that your brand should confine itself to a certain demographic or nationality when picking an influencer to work with. After all, one of the key benefits about Instagram is its global presence and its ability to connect you with brand ambassadors from all over the world.

 

Why should you make use of global influencers on Instagram? 

We can’t emphasize enough that by working with a global influencer that has an international reach, you have the ability to impact more than just one market, and access to a reach that is larger than that of traditional media. So remember, when putting your name out there don’t confine your brand to geographical boundaries. Instead, keep an open mind and make use of all the influential people out there whose Instagram profiles have the power to effect every corner of the world.
