You Still Care About Influencers? | Natia Maisuradze


On October 23, I had the opportunity to listen to five top CEO's what they think about the future of influencer marketing. 

A lot of topics were covered, from how ROI changes from market to market. When thinking about reaching to younger audience it's important to think about the platform that they are using, we know that at NBA TV still works, highlights are most important. One of them mentioned that 64 percent of millennials are on Instagram, Its about thinking about the ecosystem, where and how your target is using its platforms.

One of the main topic discussed was that influencer factor, almost all agreed that influencers play a vital role for brands. "You have to be careful when choosing the influencer cause it's your brand against another person that’s not on your payroll. So you got to be really, really careful about that".

Global brands absolutely need these influences. Brands  should consider themselves as publishers. So you need content and distribution. Influencers, whether they are micro, macro, celebrities,  They provide you with content and distribution.

Influencers are particularly useful for global brands entering new markets.

Through the session they have discussed how to be distinguished into social media, as they have told us its important to be provocative, vibrant and consistent. You have to tell a story, understand the core of your DNA and brand positioning.

The conference was really interesting they discussed how influencer marketing works nowadays and the story telling is quite important for brands.

I fully anticipated attending ADWeek 2018 as soon as I moved to New York. I did not expect AD Week 2018 to come to me. I was living on West 70th Street and AD Week 2018 was a short 3 minute walk from my bedroom, so I had the privilege of attending multiple sessions and dropping in and out as I saw fit, able to return home with ease. I attended sessions each day of ADWeek, but attended the majority on opening day. I wanted to get a wide perspective of the industry at that very moment, and was not disappointed. The first session I attended was hosted by Fer Machado, CMO of Burger King. I was sure to live tweet his session, as his focus was on the power of creativity for brands that are not the leader in their category. I left with a refreshed understanding and appreciation of risk, and the necessity of risk with regards to creativity, you cannot be a cautious creative. If your brand wants to stand out, you have to be willing to take creative risks, to get the attention your brand needs,

Session: “Smarter Social Storytelling | Gary Vee Interview” | linkedin.com/in/garyvaynerchuk/ Notable Quote: “Stay Agile: be ready to pivot … Be Human: focus on being empathetic … Serve: be of service to others … Play more: experiment; explore; worst thing to do is to not try new things” Gary is already so well known for this expertise in media strategy and his raw, unfiltered delivery, but this particular interview gave me a much stronger understanding of how he thinks and why his mind is so valuable. One of the most noteworthy things that Gary shed light on is how he is able to land on his insights that often feel near psychic. He explained that his main strategy is to study cycles of human habits in order to predict what should be expected in the future. The example that he gave was in response to why he so heavily advocates for collecting baseball cards. Gary’s explanation is that if you look into the generation that collected baseball cards, you will notice that they are now beco
