Evolution of Influencer Marketing: Authentic UGC Matters

January 27, 2021

As marketers we hire influencers because they offer authentic reach. But are we overlooking the power of including consumers themselves in our marketing?

A brand's customers and followers can produce content that is more authentic, and more reflective of shoppers than influencers can. Bolstered with the right strategy and technology, consumers' amazing grassroots content can be scaled to achieve similar reach.

Should you be scaling up User Generated Content (UGC) to avoid influencer dependency? Watch to find out.

Ours experts will teach you:

  • The pros and cons of UGC vs. influencer marketing.
  • An informed strategy of when to use either method, or both.
  • What to prioritize within UGC, and how to take the next step.
