Influencer marketing is no longer the wild wild west where PRs don&#8217;t have to abide by any rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs more and more brands begin to educate themselves on how to effectively use influencers and are able to measure the results and the ROI, I think that we can expect to see an increase in the use of influencers as part of a more targeted approach for consumers particularly for millennial audiences,\u201d said Stigzelius.<\/p>\n<p>The research also found that 84.5 percent of professionals believe that \u2018live\u2019 content is becoming increasingly important to influencer marketing.\u00a0Furthermore, 28 percent say Instagram\u2019s algorithmic feed \u2013 which prioritises high engagement content \u2013 hasn\u2019t impacted their campaigns. However, 11.5 percent now budget for advertising to boost influencer posts. Takumi found that 65 per cent of professionals work with influencers as part of their marketing strategy and 61.3 percent of respondents said they feel they are able to accurately measure engagement levels and return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to new research, 54 percent of marketers and PRs now use the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) guidelines on influencer marketing, compared to just 37.5 percent in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":423,"featured_media":103859,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7272,5741,1449],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103634"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/423"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103634"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104512,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103634\/revisions\/104512"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
