What is Influencer Marketing?
Influencer Marketing is a very simple notion: a brand using the Influence of an
individual to increase awareness or sales of its products.
Most common examples: celebrity endorsements or sports sponsorship; campaigns
that take place offline, via traditional media. Facebook is the most influential social
channel: 19% of consumer purchase decisions are influenced by Facebook posts.

The Real Goal
The goal of influencer marketing is to raise awareness
about your brand in an authentic and relatable format.
Finding the right influencer depends on your brands
focus and the objective you’re hoping to achieve
through an influencer campaign.

What is a Business Influencer?
Influencing is a necessary skill for anyone in business,
whether a person is a manager or a salesperson. The ability
to bring others to your way of thinking without force or
coercion is important in business. Influencing others is a
transferable skill business persons take with them from job
to job in the business world.
Managers want to convince employees to work hard, and
salesmen need to convince clients their product is the best
purchase choice.

What is Employee Advocacy?
It is the promotion of your company by the people who work for it.
People advocate for their employers on social media all the time. A
Facebook post like, “Just had a great catered lunch at work.
Thanks, [Employer!]” counts as employee advocacy. So does
sharing the latest post from the company blog on your LinkedIn
feed.
This informal, everyday sharing isn’t what has the marketing world
excited, however. Employee advocacy as a marketing tactic is a
strategic, sustainable program to encourage employees to share
brand values and messages in an organic way.
