PREVIEW
Objectives detail a campaign’s primary purpose. Knowing from the outset what you want to achieve, at least at a high level, helps make every other campaign decision fast and easy.
A campaign’s objectives and desired results should always drive the activations and not the other way around. Additionally, the activations you choose should guarantee success and resonate with your target audience. Just like it’s tempting to talk tactics before objectives, it also is tempting to choose trendy tactics instead of focusing on what will really drive results. Resist the temptation to follow the trends for trends’ sake and bank on tried and true activations that will hit it big for your brand.
Ensuring results on Influencer Marketing campaigns every single time is possible.It’s simple math! Objectives + desired results + activations + metrics (plan and tools) + a scope of work (including influencer finding and management) = guaranteed ROI. The guide will help walk you through all of it.
"There are many different factors that affect how an Influencer Marketing campaign functions, but creating a strategy based on a set objective is without a doubt a fundamental and essential step that every marketer should take." — Influencity
