The rise of influencer marketing has consequently led to the rise of agencies offering content creation and management services specifically for influencer campaigns. By the end of 2024, influencer marketing is predicted to be a $15 billion industry, with 66% of brands expected to increase their influencer marketing budgets in the next year.
Influencer marketing has helped brands navigate the changing landscape for building brand awareness in the ever competitive arena of social media. Having an influencer on your side is essentially like having a fast-pass in Disney World; getting to the front of the line and cutting through the noise is what it’s all about.
Why work with an influencer marketing agency?
While some agencies choose to focus on specific channels or industries, top influencer marketing agencies should provide in-depth knowledge and experience across multiple social channels, areas of interest, and be able to work with brands and influencers of all sizes. Their job is to match brands and influencers in a more selective way in comparison to AI matching that some paid platforms provide. Many influencer marketing agencies have a roster of trusted influencers they work with and can provide expert analysis and assessment to reach a brand’s awareness or conversion goals.
