As we dive into 2024, influencer marketing continues to be a game-changer for brands looking to connect with their audiences. Let's break down the latest trends and insights shaping this dynamic landscape:
Cost Per Activation (CPA) Dynamics
Decreasing CPA Across Platforms: Thankfully, the cost per activation (CPA) for influencer campaigns has dropped by an average of 19.2% on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. This means more bang for your buck, allowing you to stretch your influencer marketing budget further by investing in more posts or collaborating with a wider range of influencers.
Pinterest’s Unique Trend: However, Pinterest differs from this trend with an increased CPA, so brands should evaluate if it aligns with their goals before investing heavily.
Platform-Specific Insights
Nano and Micro-Influencers: Instagram is your go-to platform for working with nano and micro-influencers, offering the lowest CPA at around £176.50 per post. On the other hand, TikTok posts have a higher CPA at £1,161, so balance your need for reach with cost-effectiveness.
Mid and Macro-Influencers: For mid and macro-influencers, Instagram Stories and Reels are key. Despite higher CPAs (over £10K and £7K respectively), these posts significantly boost brand awareness and engagement, making them worth the investment.
Influencer Marketing in B2B
Growing Trend: Influencer marketing isn't just for consumer brands anymore. By 2024, 60% of B2B brands are expected to use influencer strategies. Interestingly, 26% of these brands are not just collaborating but also seeking advice from influencers and even bringing them on board as advisors. This approach adds a layer of authenticity and industry expertise to B2B campaigns.
Micro-Influencers: A Winning Formula
Proven Success: In 2023, 47% of marketers reported great results working with micro-influencers. Their engaged audiences help forge stronger connections with specific demographics, making them a cost-effective choice for your influencer marketing budget.
Budgets on the Rise
