— EMMA LITTLE, BRAND ADVOCACY MANAGER, MADE.COM
From keeping the team in-house, we’ve managed to keep a direct relationship with the creators rather than relying on an agency to have that relationship. It has meant we can keep the influencer marketing strategy lined up with the wider 360 marketing plans. It also allows us to work directly with Wearisma, to use data-driven insights to influence our current and future projects.
From an industry point of view, the pandemic has changed the influencer marketing landscape because brands are starting to rely more on creators to create content. I see brands give a lot of creative control to influencers.
Brands have shifted their budget to creator marketing and content, away from out-of-home and ads. Specifically for MADE.COM, people have been at home and Wearisma data revealed that there was a 70% increase in Engagements for #homeware content on YouTube between 2019 and 2020. For us, it was a really positive impact.
For us, we want to be able to track really easily what work we’re doing, who’s talking about us, when, how often, and what they’re saying (UGC). Wearisma can offer that, along with ease of reporting. For us, it’s important to see a snapshot of our work and enable us to showcase the reporting to the wider business, feeding it back in a really simple way. The platform also allows us to build a community more so than anybody else.
We’re really focused on building a community of true advocates and loyalty. We have moved away from gifts in return for a sales strategy, into more of a paying it forward and community-based-focused project. Not only does this give the creator more autonomy and purpose but it creates more long-lasting relationships. In order to do this, Wearisma’s tools have enabled us to not only find creators but also see how our project is performing and help us inform future campaigns.
The fact that it was a wider 360 campaign shows the power of a tied-up marketing project. It ensures that the influencer marketing element was built into the beginning part of the campaign. We were also able to tap into the emotional connection of home which is very relevant right now.
A big part of it for us was trialling TikTok for the first time on both organic creator’s channels and our paid channels. According to Wearisma’s report, TikTok was the most successful platform for this campaign and it generated almost double the ER of Instagram stories and 4x the brand’s average.
The biggest obstacle to the growth within the space is when influencer marketing is integrated into the wider marketing mix but brands do not understand the value and power of incorporating it within their wider plan.
Another contributing factor is when brands do not have a clear reason to work with creators, why or what they’re paying them, and when they’re not using data-driven insights or reporting to really think through that strategy and approach.
