Why you need influencers

Working with influencers is no longer a choice, but a necessity. 90% of people say creator content influences their purchase decisions. Put simply – people buy from people. That’s likely why the creator economy has grown by over 1000% in less than 8 years, skyrocketing from $1.7 billion in 2016 to $21 billion in 2023. And it’s not slowing down. Projections foresee further expansion, hitting an anticipated $24 billion by 2024. That’s also why spend on influencer marketing is growing 3.5x faster than social ad spending.

Consumers want authentic, relatable and engaging content, and more and more brands are leveraging influencers to deliver that content. This is where influencers come in. Brands should find influencers who are strategically aligned and perform strongly in accordance to your brand. Influencers should be embedded into your social search strategy as users shift from AI to people-powered recommendations. Give your influencer partners creative control while you focus on the commercial opportunity.
