Strengthen your influencer marketing with these lessons
Content Marketing Institute columnist Bethany Johnson has shared some highly useful lessons based on Amisha Gandhi’s (VP, influencer marketing, SAP Ariba) 2017 Content Marketing World talk, Creating a Global Influencer Marketing Program at a Large B2B Brand.
Johnson says, “Amisha started SAP’s program with, as she put it, “a blank slate.” No centralized, global influencer marketing existed at SAP before late 2015. Rather than create a worldwide program all at once, Amisha planned a phased rollout that would result in learning she could build on for future programs.
For the pilot project, she set her sights on SAP Sapphire 2016, an annual event that attracts 20,000 CIOs and IT professionals and was mere months away. She needed to create an influencer program that complemented the existing marketing campaign and set goals she could meet in the short timeline.
She sought to secure IT influencers to:
- Attend the event (and share and amplify news about it on social media)
- Host panels or give presentations
- Create thought leadership (not product-oriented) videos on site”.
