- Its No Longer About Celebrities :- Earlier influencer marketing is all about celebrities. A rebust influencer marketing strategy will often include macro-influencers, “power middle” influencers, micro influencers, brand ambassadors, brand advocates, employees and even celebrities, as needed. True optimization means brands can understand and optimize the performance of the right group of influencers, at the right time, to meet their goals.
- It’s Not About You Either :- Today’s consumers, especially millennial who will total more than 1.4 trillion in spending power by 2020 to have more meaningful connections with brands that they feel stand for something.

Brands are also jumping on trends such as real- time social to handover the reigns to influencers for a more authentic experience, trading the perceived brand control of static social for performance increase from Snapchat’s 10 billion daily view and Facebook live’s 3x longer watch times.
