In a fitting second-to-the-end episode for us, the three of us discuss Influence Marketing. Bare with us as we dig deeply into the marketing terminology (along with A LOT of banter). If you’d like to read a little more before listening, here’s one against Influencer Marketing: from AdWeek that states “Companies spent an estimated $570 million on sponsored Instagram posts alone last year.” And here’s a Influencer Marketing pro from Forbes that mentions “A recent survey revealed 84% of marketers plan on executing at least one influencer marketing campaign during the next 12 months.”
We hope you love what you learn because we learned it from doing The Geek Whisperers for a number of years. Some notes:
- Differentiation of Influencer Marketing vs Influence Marketing
