Brazilians, like Latin Americans, are heavy users of mobiles and various social media platforms. This presents an ideal opportunity for companies doing business online. Influencers are a great way to promote posts by companies but this is only one aspect of a much larger universe.
Working with influencers has the potential to add a lot to a campaign if you have the right assistance in choosing what to post, how and who to work with. By distributing valuable, relevant and consistent online content, it can attract and retain the target audience, so increasing profit for companies.
To ensure this is achieved, Sherlock Communications, a state of the art Brazilian and Latin American PR and digital marketing agency, have selected 5 tips for working with influencers in Brazil and Latin America.
To ensure success, it’s essential to have clearly defined objectives, budget, as well as a strong target influencer profile who matches the client’s brand and objectives.
Also, we set ‘key performance indicators’ (KPI), marketing objectives used to evaluate the campaign. This could include improve content promotion, social media reach, post engagement, and increase followers etc.
Finally, it’s important to identify the most relevant platform (s) best suited for the campaign. This could include the most well-known ones: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc.
When it comes to content, social media posts on individual ‘personalities’ accounts is only one option when considering how to work with influencers in Brazil and Latin America.
In addition to the well-known platforms, there are others that should be considered: listicles, photo stories, Facebook Live broadcasts, radio and TV interviews, reviews, gifting guest posts, giveaways, events, affiliate markets – and media partnerships.
