Some tips on finding and cultivating influencers


Who is Your Oprah?

“There are Oprahs in every industry,” says Mark. You just have to determine who they are and find a way to work with them by:

  1. Attracting their attention
  2. Making sure they like the product
  3. Paying it forward

Let’s take a look at how we can find our Oprah, shall we?

Find the Pulse

Before plans are drawn up, emails are templated, and campaign hashtags are circulating, a pulse needs to be tapped. You must have a pulse on what type of influencers your potential consumers are looking to and a pulse on what those influencers are talking about, engaging with, and what would interest them.

I’m going to reiterate that last point because it’s crucial: Think about how you can help these influencers and what you can do to interest them. Not the other way around.

Don’t campaign based on what you think you know, do the research. Read blogs, spend time on certain social platforms, dig through hashtags. You’ve created buyer personas to lead you to these verticals now create influencer personas.
