Influencer Recruitment & Activation

With the popularity of social media, influencer marketing has evolved to have a significant impact on brand awareness and messaging. With its reach through content websites and social channels, it makes an ideal strategy to use for affiliate marketing.

Bearcat Media has the experience and expertise to reach, engage, and convert social influencers. We have influencer partnerships to help increase consumer engagement and awareness while encouraging sales through your affiliate program.

If your business is not integrating influencers into your marketing strategies, you are leaving performance marketing opportunities for the competition. Integrating influencers into your affiliate marketing can help you to receive more traffic value and sales. Additionally, since it is based entirely on performance, you can reduce the costs of sponsorships, paid placements, and low ROI campaigns.

One of the most difficult aspects of influencer recruitment and activation is developing relationships with influencers. Fortunately, Bearcat media can help you to identify the partners best suited to your brand. We analyze the performance of social influencers and content websites to help you develop long lasting, beneficial relationships.

Social influencers are considered to be top of the funnel partners who drive brand awareness and get buyers further towards their buying decision and conversion. Generally, working with a social influencer is considered a long term strategy. There are many variables that can impact content creation and distribution, such as working your product into their content calendar, being inspired to write a post, or even seasonal relevance. This means that it takes the right approach, the right assets, and time to ensure engagement. However, once this occurs, the value of the brand exposure and product engagement is hard to miss.

The success of an influencer marketing campaign is tied to making the right decisions. Here’s how we handle influencer recruitment and activation.
