Influencer strategy and digital marketing: an asset for brands on Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok

Blog post

In today's digital age, social networks like Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok are becoming essential tools for communication and marketing. Companies and agencies are increasingly turning to these platforms to develop their online presence and reach an ever-wider audience. In this context, influencer strategy has become an essential lever for brands wishing to boost their brand awareness and sales.

Why opt for an influencer marketing strategy?

Influencer strategy involves working with influencers, i.e. people with a strong community and significant power of recommendation among their subscribers. The aim is to leverage their image and credibility to promote a brand's products or services, while benefiting from their expertise in creative and engaging content.

  • A strong impact on purchasing decisions: Internet users are particularly sensitive to the opinions and advice of these opinion leaders, who can directly influence their choice.
  • A qualified audience: By carefully choosing the influencers with whom to collaborate, brands can access a relevant target audience interested in their products.
  • Authentic, engaging content: Influencers generally have a relationship of trust with their community, who appreciate the quality and authenticity of their publications. They are therefore able to create engaging and relevant content for web users, enabling brands to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

How do you set up an influencer strategy on Instagram, Facebook or Tiktok?

For a successful influencer campaign, it's essential to follow a well-defined plan adapted to each social network. Here are a few key steps to make your project a success:

Finding the right influencers

Influencers must be chosen with care, taking into account several criteria such as the number of subscribers, the rate of engagement and the consistency between the values conveyed by the brand and those of the influencer. An influencer marketing agency specialized in identifying and recruiting influencers can help facilitate this step.

Define campaign objectives

Objectives can vary according to the company's needs: awareness, acquisition of new customers, increased sales... It's important to determine these objectives from the outset, so that you can measure the campaign's effectiveness and adjust your actions if necessary.

Developing the content of the collaboration

It's essential to work closely with influencers to define the type of content that will be published (photos, videos, stories, articles...), as well as the tone and message to be conveyed. Care must be taken to ensure that this content is consistent with the image of both parties, while remaining creative and engaging for web users.

Measuring results

Once the campaign has been launched, it's important to regularly analyze the results to ensure that objectives are being met. This can be done by tracking indicators such as the number of views, likes, shares and comments generated by influencer publications.

Focus on the specific features of each social network

Instagram

A key network for influencer marketing, Instagram enables brands to capitalize on the photo and story craze among a young, active audience. Collaborations can take many forms: product placement, organization of contests, creation of exclusive content...

Facebook

Although it has lost some of its popularity with younger audiences, Facebook remains a major communication channel for reaching a wider, more diversified target. Partnerships with influencers are also possible, notably in the form of live-streaming or the sharing of sponsored articles.

Tiktok

A rising social network particularly popular with teenagers, Tiktok offers numerous opportunities for brands wishing to capitalize on short, creative content. Challenges are particularly popular, and can quickly engage a community around a specific hashtag or theme.
