Is influencer marketing part of your 2021 digital marketing plan?

It certainly is for a rising number of brands, with newer platforms and formats making it more difficult to keep up with the latest trends, and ensure that they're maximizing their messaging on every platform.

That's especially true of an app like TikTok, which really requires specific audience knowledge and understanding to tap into the organic feel of the app, and connect with its audience. Indeed, the best ad campaigns, according to TikTok, are those that most closely align with the way regular users engage - and unless you're active on the platform every day, that can be difficult to replicate.

So what tactics are digital marketers seeing the most success with in influencer marketing, and how are experienced agencies looking to allocate their influencer marketing budgets this year?

To shed some light on this, Linqia recently surveyed over 163 enterprise marketers and agency professionals, from a variety of industries, to learn more about their use of influencers, and how they're looking to evolve their strategies in the year ahead.

You can read the full report here(via email sign-up), but in this post, we'll take a look at some of the key findings.

First off, Linqia found that the vast majority of those surveyed indicated that they're looking to increase their influencer marketing budget in 2021, following on from their experiences last year.

As per the report:

"71% of enterprise marketers who knew how the marketing budget would be allocated in 2021 said that their influencer marketing budgets would increase over 2020. Thats a large increase from our 2020 report when only 57% said they planned to increase their budget."

The data suggests that more brands are seeing results from their influencer marketing efforts, which is further reinforced in relation to this question on influencer content versus brand-originated efforts.

This underlines the fact that people on social media relate more to other people than they do brand entities, which is an important element to consider in your planning.

Linqia also found that micro-influencers - those with between 5k and 100k followers - are the most common focus for brand campaigns.

"Micro-influencers have always been the top choice for marketers in our annual survey, but this year, there was even stronger demand for this powerful group. In this years survey, 90% of marketers selected that they wanted to work with micro-influencers, up from 80% in 2020."

While big-name celebrities are the ideal, that's not an attainable goal for most brands. Influencers with smaller audiences tend to not only be more cost-effective, but they can also have stronger connection to their communities, that they've built through more direct engagement and interaction. That can make their endorsements more powerful, driving more sales.

Even if you're not reaching the biggest possible audience, you may well be reaching the most lucrative one for your efforts with these creators.

Linqia also found that most influencer campaigns utilize between 5 and 10 influencers at a time, helping to spread the messaging over a broader audience pool.

And while Instagram remains the main platform of focus, take a look at how TikTok has risen in demand over the past 12 months.

Interesting to note the appearance of Instagram Reels her also, while Snapchat and Twitter were just below Pinterest - and ahead of gaming platform Twitch.

There are some interesting notes here - likely nothing beyond what most would expect, but it is interesting to see the rising demand for TikTok expertise, and the various tactics most common amongst other marketing teams.

Will that influence your influencer marketing approach?

Global Marketing Automation Market (2021 to 2025) - Rising Usage of Social Messaging Apps is Driving Growth - ResearchAndMarkets.com - Business Wire

Snapchat has posted its latest performance update, showing solid increases in both usage and revenue throughout Q1 2021.

The numbers will certainly raise some eyebrows, and likely get more social media marketers considering their options on the app.

First off, on usage - Snapchat is now being used by 280 million people every day, a 22% increase in year-over-year performance,and the app's biggest increase in its YoY usagegrowth in more than 3 years

As you can see here, while Snapchat usage increased in all regions,the app once again saw its biggest growth in the 'Rest of World' segment, which is largely due to the company's ongoing investment in more localized content and improved language support options.

Snap has seen particularly strong growth in India of late, with its Android update, rolled out back in 2019, playing a key role in boosting Indian user uptake (Android is the most popular OS, by far, in the Indian market). Indeed, Snapchat reports that for the first time in Q1, the majority of its DAUs were on the Android version of the app. That's a big switch for a company that long resisted Android, and focused more on aligning with the technical superiority of iOS devices.

Snapchat also launched its first Snap Original for the Indian market in the quarter, with a local version of 'Phone Swap'.

Snapchat now has over 60 million users in the Indian market, closing in on its biggest usage sectors.

Snap's original content continues to play a key role in attracting new users more broadly, and boosting in-app engagement, with over 20 million people watching the new series Ryan Doesnt Know starring Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds.

Snapchat's also seeing increased engagement with its AR tools, with the number of Snapchatters engaging with its AR Lenses daily growing more than 40% year-over-year. That looks set to become an increasingly important focus for the app, with reports that Snap is also working on a new, fully AR-enabled version of its Spectacles device.

Snap has also highlighted the growth of its TikTok clone 'Spotlight', which, in addition to being a feed of short video clips, also provides cash incentives - up to $1 million per day -for the best, most engaging Spotlight shorts.

Several creators have made big money from the option, and that's likely helped to improve overall take-up of the option.

"In March, over 125 million Snapchatters used Spotlight, our newest platform surfacing the most entertaining Snaps from our community. We also launched Spotlight in three new countries - India, Mexico, and Brazil - making it live in a total of 14 countries."

That's significant within the scope of Snapchat's overall usage growth numbers, but the question looming is how sustainable that process will be. Can Snap simply keeping paying out millions of dollars to keep the good content coming, and keep users coming back to Spotlight for more?

Definitely, there are some concerns within that, as reflected in Snap's 'Cost of Revenue' chart.

As you can see, the company's 'Content and Developer Partner Costs' have seen a big increase over the last two quarters, more than doubling on Q3 2020. That figure incorporates its Spotlight payouts ($90 million)as well as its ongoing AR development, and this will be a key element to monitor in future, as to how Snap can maintain its momentum in line with costs.

But at the same time, revenue is also climbing.Snapchat posted a 66% year-on-year revenue increase for the quarter, rising to $770 million.

So Snap's cost of revenue may have increased by $158 million year-over-year,but its overall revenue intake increased by $308 million within the same period. Maybe the math works out, and Snap can sustain those Spotlight costs, as it's usage benefits would be helping to drive increased advertiser interest.

In its accompanying notes, Snap has also highlighted its rising eCommerce opportunities, with increased investment in AR try-on tools, digital clothing for avatars and advanced opportunities via its evolving full-body scan AR tech.

Snap also says that over 75 million Snapchatters watched beauty-related content each month on Discover in Q1, which could point to further marketing opportunities on the platform that play into its advanced AR features. Snap launched a new AR try on experience with Estee Lauder earlier in the week.

As explained by Snap CEO Evan Spiegel:

"We believe that our leadership in both AR capabilities and user engagement positions us well to expand augmented reality to new use cases and behaviors. For example, as the shift to online shopping continues to accelerate, we believe there is a massive untapped opportunity for AR-driven product innovation in eCommerce - and that our young audience will continue to be early adopters of these new technologies and shopping experiences."

Spiegel says that Snap is focused on providing more tools around apparel and accessories, and helping buyers find the right size, fit, in order to reduce friction in online shopping experiences. Snap acquired FitAnalyticslast month, a company thatprovides tools that help brands facilitate more accurate product matches through AR.

Another area of ongoing concern for Snap is the impact of Apple's IDFA update, which we now know is being rolled out next week. Reports have suggested that both Snapchat and Facebook will be most significantly impacted by the change - but Snap's Chief Business Officer Jeremi Gorman says that both Snap and its ad partners are prepared.

"We are supportive of Apples approach because we have always believed that advertising should respect customers privacy. The fact that these changes are coming later than we anticipated has provided additional time to adopt Apples SKAdNetwork and begin implementing and testing with our partners. Advertisers that represent a majority of our direct response advertising revenue have successfully implemented SKAdnetwork for their Snap campaigns."

Gorman further notes that Snap's designing an array of privacy-centric solutions to ensure they can continue to deliver a privacy-first experience,and best-in-class offerings for its ad partners.

Overall, it's a positive report for Snap, which has now established its market niche, and its presence within the wider social media sphere. It did, at one point, seem like Facebook would swallow it up, or force it out, but Snap has stuck to its guns, and remained attuned to its user community, which has enabled it to refine its offerings and maximize its potential as a connective tool.

And it's definitely now a worthy consideration for marketers. For comparison, Snapchat, now at 280 million users, has more daily actives than Twitter (192 million mDAU) and Reddit (52m).

It's worth considering Snap's audience, and how it might fit into your strategy.
