This course solves your top challenges with influencer marketing

When it comes to influencer marketing, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered:

What do you need to known about influencer marketing to begin with? What are the ins and outs?
How to identify true influencers?
When should you engage them for your campaign and when it’s not really a good idea to do that to begin with?
How do you properly plan your campaign?
How do you drive metrics that actually convert direct response outcomes?
How do you choose the best in terms of synergy and brand fit?
How do you build lasting relationships? A lot of these influencers tend to be very transactional-driven, so how do you actually make sure that they stick around?
How do you amplify their content?
How do you measure your campaign results when everything has been done and dusted?
And how do you really develop something always on, or something that kind of benefits UGC?

All of these questions, and much more will be answered in this course.
