5 Key Influencer Marketing Trends B2B Brands Need to Pay Attention To
Lee Odden
CEO, TopRank Marketing
Within the B2B marketing world, influencer marketing has made many advancements of late, with more organizations evolving both their testing and sophistication of practice.
And there are five key trends that B2B marketers and brands should be paying attention to:
  1. Micro and Macro Influencers. A lot of marketing press has emphasized micro or even “nano” influencers over celebrities. There’s merit to that. But successful programs map the right “big and small” influencers to the right content within the buying journey.
  2. Centralizing Influencer Operations. Disparate processes and lack of coordination can create real problems. But centralizing influencer marketing operations can create opportunities across organizations.
  3. Always-On Influencer Engagement. Early on, many B2B brands are campaign-focused when working with influencers. But more advanced marketers and brands are focused on developing relationships and fostering advocacy with influencer partners on an ongoing basis.
  4. Focus on Quality vs. Quantity Metrics. From influencer identification to brand vs. popularity, there’s a big shift happening in the way qualitative metrics are used.
  5. Influencer Marketing Software Investment. As organizations begin to implement influencer marketing initiatives across departments and businesses, coordination in identification, engagement, and measurement needs to be a priority. And specialized platforms can help.
Trends can be useful for long-term planning, but you also want practical tips. Check out my full post on the subject to get some tactical and strategic recommendations for capitalizing on these trends.
