Despite a heavy barrage of advertising, most consumers declare that their purchases are most influenced by the experiences, advice, and recommendations of others and not necessarily by marketers. Thus, interpersonal communication between and among consumers serves as a potent path for influence. By 2022, marketing managers are expected to spend $15 billion on influencer marketing, a marketing technique in which companies partner with people with specialized knowledge, expertise, authority, social position, and/or personal relationships with customers. Marketing teams co-produce marketing messages with these individuals to promote their brands. Our programme intends to shed light on this process. We will help executives:
- Understand and utilize influencer marketing techniques.
- Choose the right influencers.
- Measure the effectiveness and return-on-investment of influencer marketing.
- Integrate influencer marketing programme with other channels of communication
Programme Schedule
The programme will be delivered in a Live Online format over the Zoom platform.
