As the influencer marketing space continues to grow, agencies are innovating new ways to approach the channel. Publicis Groupe’s marketing agency Razorfish recently introduced its ‘Creator Colab,’ an in-house team of content creators and social strategists. Full-time creators, who constitute half of the team, focus on helping brands develop their social media presence.
Another strategic approach involves acquiring external partners or otherwise developing a dedicated roster of influencers. These influencers “are pre-approved or campaign-tested for specific brands,” explains Kelly Dye, VP of Influencer Strategy at Acorn.
Dye also noted a potential issue with relying on a team of in-house content creators: “What would worry me as a hiring manager, is the fact that the goal for an influencer is typically to quit their 9-to-5 so that they can focus on their influencer career full-time.”
