When people think of influencer marketing, they rarely think of B2B brands. Nobody’s using Zack King to promote their SaaS platform, or calling on Kylie Jenner to talk about their new IT solution. Yet 63% of marketers agree that marketing would have better results if it included a B2B influencer marketing program.

Influencer marketing is a powerful but under-utilised tool for B2B brands. Marketers would be wise to adopt an always-on influencer engagement approach and build true brand advocates.

Join us to learn how influencer marketing help brands achieve their business goals.

We’ll be discussing:

• How Workplace from Facebook has been able to scale influence to directly impact B2B marketing results in the employee experience and future of work space
• How to partner with B2B influencers to build brand credibility
• What to avoid and what to plan for to scale influencer content

Social media has become an integral part of the overall marketing funnel. It is a priority channel for product and brand discovery and it’s the platforms, like TikTok, that are creating the new frontiers of commerce.

The biggest draw of social commerce is that it facilitates two-way communication between the customer and the seller. It allows user-native ways to connect with your audience and prospects by leveraging the power of influence. It delivers shopping features in high view-time platforms.

Ultimately, it’s personal. (Very) personal shopping. The algorithm interprets, predicts, and reacts to our behaviour. Maybe you should just let TikTok select your next Friday night get up.
