Are incumbent media networks losing ground? Kamala stuck to broadcast media, while Trump bypassed traditional filters and reached audiences as an influencer, taking his message to Rogan and Fridman. Among concerns over echo chambers and AI-controlled narratives, there's a flip side—more people now have a platform, giving everyone a voice. Guillermo Rauch of Vercel says “everyone needs to be empowered to create.” The more people who can build their own platforms and apps, the more we decentralize the conversation. Tune in as we break down the election aftermath and the future of content in a post-AI world.

On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Cody Wittick, Co-Founder of Kynship, a California-based influencer agency with the goal of serving and connecting D2C brands with influencers and content creators around the world. At the tail end of 2020, Taylor Lagace, Cody's partner and a Co-Founder of Kynship, brought us into the world of Influencer Marketing and how it was a complex ecosystem with wanna-be influencers and unengaged or fake followers. Alongside those negative intricacies, many brands have cracked the code of influencer marketing and skyrocketed their growth. In 2021, he again sat with Kunle to discuss the changes in the influencer market, and that it is no longer the elephant in the room as it used to be. It's 2022 and it's Cody Wittick's turn to sit down with Kunle and share Kynship's philosophies on seeding and the intricacies of influencer marketing post-pandemic. The Creator Economy is reaching new heights with social media as a platform for growth. Kynship is using the growing platform and matching brands with influencers and content creators that align with their products. Before you jump into the pool of influencers, listen to what Cody has to say about the different tiers of influencers in order for your brand to understand what fits your needs and ad spend. He also emphasizes how influencer marketing is just like any other marketing tool while adding human-to-human interactions in a digital age. Cody discloses Kynship's philosophies on seeding and mass seeding especially when it comes to high-ticket items as well as how they work with the principle of giving and not asking. He also dives into the principle of repurposing content across platforms and how the unboxing experience can be a way to convey a brand's story without a creative brief.

You already know we focus our attention here on influence marketing. That encompasses what many traditionally think of as influencer marketing (with the R) where a brand finds a social media content creator with a large audience to post about their product or service. We expand that conversation to include anyone with influence … social media followers be damned … to help communicate your message. That brand-to-creator-to-audience style of influence makes up the lion's share of how we think in the influence or influencer space. But then along comes a slightly different model that makes us take note and perhaps inspires us to think differently. Cooper Lycan is not your typical marketer. Nor is his company in a typical vertical. His background and instincts are different enough, that he came up with a slightly different model for using influencers, even though he may not have labeled that as influencer marketing. Cooper is the founder and CEO of a sports betting community called SoBet. It's a place where sports bettors can get wagering advice from influencer in the handicapping and betting space. These influencers exist on social channels and with their own websites. Cooper, though, has built a place where the influencer can find more fans and followers because SoBet shows off their results and recommends them to a community of bettors. The brand is taking the audience to the influencers, not the other way around. I was fascinated by the model so I asked Copper to come on the show and walk us through how it came to be, how it's working and so we could get some inspiration for perhaps looking at our influence marketing differently. This conversation is going to be quite insightful. I'm willing to bet on it. Winfluence is made possible by Cipio.ai – The Community Commerce Marketing platform. What does that mean?

On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Cody Wittick, Co-Founder of Kynship, a California-based influencer agency with the goal of serving and connecting D2C brands with influencers and content creators around the world. At the tail end of 2020, Taylor Lagace, Cody's partner and a Co-Founder of Kynship, brought us into the world of Influencer Marketing and how it was a complex ecosystem with wanna-be influencers and unengaged or fake followers. Alongside those negative intricacies, many brands have cracked the code of influencer marketing and skyrocketed their growth. In 2021, he again sat with Kunle to discuss the changes in the influencer market, and that it is no longer the elephant in the room as it used to be. It's 2022 and it's Cody Wittick's turn to sit down with Kunle and share Kynship's philosophies on seeding and the intricacies of influencer marketing post-pandemic. The Creator Economy is reaching new heights with social media as a platform for growth. Kynship is using the growing platform and matching brands with influencers and content creators that align with their products. Before you jump into the pool of influencers, listen to what Cody has to say about the different tiers of influencers in order for your brand to understand what fits your needs and ad spend. He also emphasizes how influencer marketing is just like any other marketing tool while adding human-to-human interactions in a digital age. Cody discloses Kynship's philosophies on seeding and mass seeding especially when it comes to high-ticket items as well as how they work with the principle of giving and not asking. He also dives into the principle of repurposing content across platforms and how the unboxing experience can be a way to convey a brand's story without a creative brief. This episode is truly something to be excited about especially when a brand is looking at the possibility of using influencer marketing to grow their brand. ----------- SPONSORS:This episode is brought to you by:Wayflyer As you continue to grow your eCommerce business, access to growth capital will increasingly play a significant role in achieving and surpassing your financial and social goals.

Next up is Tom Greenlees, Head of Digital Media & Influencer Strategy at The Coca-Cola Company.Tom discusses how the role of media today is "moving from functionality to effectiveness”.The conversation includes the changing role of agency relationships: "Agencies need to understand consumers more than ever before. Our partners need to understand an ever-growing Gen Z marketplace and how consumers want to engage with brands."And his role driving the changing role of influencer relations within Coca-Cola: "To increase the focus on long-term collaborations and partnerships and change the perception of influencers as only a paid-for media channel to focus more on partnerships. And the roles influencers play within the end-to-end framework for each campaign."Amid much more, we also find out why Tom is so excited about the development of the metaverse: "At the moment there are a lot of brands doing it because it's the latest thing and doing it wrong, which we can learn from.

It’s been a big year for Crocs. The popular shoe brand, known for its ubiquitous plastic slip-ons, saw revenue grow 12.6% year-over-year, hitting $1.39 billion. E-commerce was a big driver of its business, growing 92%. About half of the company’s revenue comes from digital channels. According to the company’s president Michelle Poole, this success was thanks to the brand keeping its ear to the ground and remaining scrappy. “I’m most focused on how the brand comes to life across the globe, in all channels,” she said on the Modern Retail Podcast. Poole spoke about how the company dealt with all the changes brought on over the past year, as well as how it approaches large branding campaigns and influencers. Part of Crocs’ growth was thanks to its varied marketing campaigns. The company has unveiled a number of collaborations with companies like KFC and celebrities like Justin Bieber. These campaigns are a way to keep the shoe brand relevant. A few years ago, Crocs was less choosy when it came to celebrity partnerships. “At the beginning, we were just frankly, we were grateful to have someone to partner with,” said Poole. “And we’ve now really got the opportunity to be more strategic.” A Bieber-branded Croc isn’t Poole’s only focus. Currently, she’s thinking about international expansion. “We actually have three key markets that we’re really focused: China, Japan and Korea,” she said. “I would say that the playbook we are really focused on in Asia... is [to] really establish icon status.” This is how the company has approached growth in all its regions, she said. Poole added that “where it does need to be tailored is in our marketing strategy.” That is, the campaigns -- and influencers -- Crocs work with in Asia are slightly different than those in North America. Despite the recent growth, things haven’t been a walk in the park. For the last year, Poole said, Crocs was in defense mode. But now, she went on, “I think as we move out of Covid, [we] move back into I would say is offense mode.”
As marketers begin to expand their definition of influencers to those beyond Instagrammers and TikTokers – the time is ripe to explore the similarities that podcasters have with social influencers and how to leverage them as an integral part of an influencer strategy.
“In Q1 of 2021, we spent $4,315 on Trend and made $51,194 from working with creators on Trend's platform.” Ashton Marshall #DTCPOD“We make sure and pick influencers who are aligned with our product and our target market.” Ashton Marshall #DTCPOD“At the end of the day, you need to create trust. That's the only way people are going to buy it from you.” Ashton Marshall #DTCPOD“Our Facebook group has about 2 million people in it. The reason it works so well is that the people in that group post content about their interests and support each other.” Ashton Marshall #DTCPOD“People miss out on many opportunities because they aren't as open-minded. If something doesn't work once, give it another shot in a more optimistic way.” Ashton Marshall #DTCPODWe Speak About:[00:55] About Ashton and Mindful Health[05:10] Affiliate vs Influencer marketing[06:45] Growing brands and engaging audiences[11:20] Ashton learning and using influencer marketing[16:35 How Mindful Health drives results[18:05] Utilizing content to boost results[20:35] Ashton’s Facebook group with 2 million users[27:00] Remaining optimistic with your brand[28:10] What’s next for Mindful HealthWhen used right, influencers can 7x your revenue. Ashton Marshall, Affiliate Manager of Mindful Health, joins the POD to talk about the differences as well as the benefits of influencer marketing and working with creators. Mindful Health focuses on internal and external wellness, acquiring brands to promote and achieve their mission. In the podcast, Ashton not only discusses the benefits of influencers but also the benefits of a good affiliate strategy.Affiliate and Influencers are two different things that are often confused, but affiliate generally encompasses email and traffic. It is a lot easier to gauge specific traffic from affiliates, rather than through using influencers, and understand how much revenue can be generated. But when you combine spend with gut and analytics, influencer marketing can be much more lucrative than affiliate marketing sometimes.Influencer Marketing has shown to be a necessary strategy for Mindful Health. In the past, Ashton had little success working with influencers to grow the brand, especially Instagram. Using Trend has helped Ashton and Mindful Health with achieving more success with influencer marketing. Trend pre-vets influencers for brands. Pre-vetted influencers on Trend create better content and have more to offer to brands. This was key in Ashton's success with Trend. It is also important to understand and know your audience so that you can properly get the message across to them.

“When I think about go-to-market strategy, there are two ways of doing it. Top-down where you get as many eyeballs on your brand as possible or bottoms up where you try to turn early adopters into loyalists.” @AmandaMGoetz #DTCPOD“I believe in brand marketing where you create a community first that understands you and is a part of your brand.” @AmandaMGoetz #DTCPOD“I like thinking about my influencer strategy with the micro-influencers mostly, and then plugging in a few strategic macros that we create a longer-term relationship with.” @AmandaMGoetz #DTCPOD“One trend that I am really, really interested in right now is the fact that some of these major creators are now becoming investors and getting into the investor game.” @AmandaMGoetz #DTCPOD“As a founder of an early-stage company you have to remember that you’re on day one when comparing yourself to competitors that might already be doing this for a few years.” @AmandaMGoetz #DTCPODWe Speak About:[01:00] About Amanda and her experience[03:15] Why Amanda started House of Wise[05:20] Amanda’s thoughts on go-to-market strategies[06:35] The importance of brand marketing when building[10:15] How Amanda thinks about influencer marketing for SMBs[13:45] Is influencer marketing still effective for growing brands?[16:25] Fitting influencer marketing into your marketing mix for SMBs[19:25] Amanda’s strategy for influencer marketing for early-stage brands[24:10] How Amanda approaches influencer pitches[27:50] What matters to Amanda when selecting influencers[31:15] Pitfalls to avoid for early-stage brands doing influencer marketing Influencer marketing for early-stage brands works.

In Ep. #1, Caroline interviews Eb Jones to hear the full story of the WNBA Orange Hoodie, and how it came to be one of the most successful pieces of merchandise in the history of women's sports.In 2020, the WNBA Orange Hoodie made history. The Sports Business Journal named it the “Fashion Statement of the Year”, Opendorse named it one of the top 5 performing athlete influencer marketing campaigns of 2020, and at one point, it was the top-selling item across the entire Fanatics website, and ultimately became the best-selling WNBA item ever sold.The story of the WNBA Orange Hoodie begins in February 2019, with a strategic decision by Eb Jones, who was the Head of Content of Influencer Strategy at the WNBA at the time. As the WNBA underwent their most recent rebrand, Eb put together the merchandising & influencer strategy to support the rebranding efforts. The result? The WNBA Orange Hoodie was born, and selected to be the WNBA's signature item. Eventually, the Orange Hoodie was distributed to all WNBA players and a small group of athlete and entertainment influencers, including A'ja Wilson, Kobe Bryant, Naomi Osaka, Lebron James, Jemele Hill, Gabrielle Union, Shea Serrano, and many more. Many reports and analysts attribute the recent growth & success of the WNBA in large part to the Orange Hoodie, and the impressions and excitement it generated for the league.

There are two different types of sponsored YouTube influencer videos: An integrated sponsored video and Stand-alone sponsored video. Stand-alone sponsored influencer videos are what most brands use and what most people think of when they hear “YouTube influencer marketing.” Stand-alone videos are typically an influencer providing a quick review or endorsement about a particular product. So the video is titled “Widget 12 Pro Unboxing and review.” An integrated sponsored influencer videos is an ad put inside of video on a separate topic. The video might be about fortnite or camping, or whatever, but inside the video is a 30 second ad, read by the creator, for your product. These integrated video ads are Ridge Wallets secret sauce.

New to influencer marketing? Confused as to exactly what it entails? You're not alone. Listen to the new episode of Instagram Growth Podcast to get over that hump and execute an effective influencer marketing campaign.
Today we go DEEP into how Influencers can use Messenger to beat the algorithms and dominate their competition while ALSO monetizing their fans. This is an inside look at the strategies we use for our influencer clients
On this episode, I talk about an influencer strategy update as we approach 2020. I reference this article and some stats from it: - Only 4% of people now trust what influencers say online - 79% of people say that user-generated content (UGC) highly impacts their purchasing decisions, while only 8% say influencer-created content would do the same. - People are 9.8x more likely to make a purchase after seeing a peer’s social post, as opposed to that of a traditional social media influencer
The words 'influencer marketing' are perhaps the most contentious in our industry today. Whether you love or loathe them, these popular figures have an undeniable place in the world of marketing. And given the statistics – 63% of brands plan to increase their budget for influencer marketing; by 2020 influencer marketing is expected to be a $10bn industry; in the past 3 years Google searches for ‘influencer marketing’ grew by 1500% - it's clear that influencer marketing is a force not to be ignored. Our recent panel event brought together industry leaders to discuss how brands can harness the power of influencer marketing and how to avoid potential pitfalls. Chaired by Gemma Glover, Head of Influencer Strategy at ENGINE, our guests included: Karl Loko – Influencer Adrienne Herbert – Influencer Zoe de Pass – Influencer Eleanor Wilcox – Social Media Manager, Next Louise Cole – General Counsel, ENGINE

They say bigger is better ... but in the case of influencer strategy, we think the opposite could be true! The latest data shows that micro-influencers, influencers with 10,000 or fewer followers, are getting the best results for brands and businesses. More engagement, more clicks, and lower ROI. Join us for this episode as we dive into the world of micro-influencers and explain the ins and outs of this new trend toward going small with your influencer campaigns.

Consider yourself an influencer or thinking about becoming one in your space? You NEED to listen to this honest episode filled with strategies on how to be an influencer.
If you have an innovative or functional product, you know that one of the biggest challenges is spreading the word about its features and benefits. One problem - people don’t connect with information. Consumers connect more on an emotional level, with aspirational messages or lifestyle images. A dissertation on the metabolic integrity of non-GMO allulose… that just isn’t going to land. The KNOW Foods team have found a solution - unleash the power of influencers. This week, KNOW Foods Co-CEO Yemeni Mesa joins us to talk about the influencer strategy that's changing the game for the rapidly growing, keto-friendly baked goods brand. Additionally, Yemeni and Jordan geek out on keto topics, and Yemeni shares the top three lessons learned from scaling Quest, one of the true unicorns in CPG.
