As influencer marketing is rapidly becoming a key channel for brands across the social media spectrum, influencer marketer #Hashoff announced today a new partnership with social marketer Kinetic Social to include direct access to #Hashoffs network of more than 150,000 influencers across platforms.
The collaboration means that #Hashoff will provide the technology and expertise needed to enable Kinetic Social to identify and activate the audiences that matter most to their clients.
#Hashoff released a report last month addressing the trend of relying on micro-influencers to share brand messages.
Nearly one-third of influencers have grown their audience by 20-50 percent in the past year, their report suggests, while one-fourth have grown their audience by 50-100 percent, and 17 percent have more than doubled their audiences.
"Our mission is to provide brands solutions to engage audiences and influencer marketing is a vital piece of the puzzle," said Jeff Thompson, senior vice president Platform Partnerships at Kinetic Social. "Influencers are providing a new way to combine the authenticity of a brand ambassador with the targeted focus of a digital campaign. Our partnership with #Hashoff is another step toward ensuring our clients can engage us to design and execute all of their social marketing campaigns."
Partnering with an industry leader like Kinetic in a complex landscape was a natural fit, bringing together two companies committed to pushing the envelope of what's possible on social," said Joel Wright, president and co-founder of #Hashoff.

Recently, Manta surveyed small businesses about their participation in social media. Among the more interesting findings is that 51% of those surveyed don't have a Facebook page for their business. This, despite research from the Pew Research Center which finds that more than two-thirds (68%) of US adults have a Facebook page.
Why are SMBs holding off on Facebook?
"The top reason many small business owners don't have a Facebook business page is because they don't think they need one. However, from our experience, a Facebook page is an invaluable asset for small businesses. According to the Pew Research Center, 68% of all U.S. adults are Facebook users, which makes it a great place to reach more customers, especially considering the bulk of consumers do truly seek out local businesses online," said John Swanciger, CEO, Manta.
Manta's research also found that, of those SMBs with a Facebook page, most believe the time invested in Facebook pays off for their business. The top reasons for continuing to build a Facebook presence for these SMB owners is to increase their brand awareness, and find new customers. Swanciger agrees with this.
"Let's take a plumber for example," said Swanciger. "A plumber may think that because they don't have a storefront, they don't need a business page on Facebook. However, as more consumers turn to their smartphones to find and research local businesses, Facebook has become the new yellow pages and word-of-mouth rolled into one. And those are vital marketing tactics for local service providers like a plumber."
