5 influencer resources that could change everything

by | Nov 3, 2017 | Influencers, Media database

Influencer marketing is a big and powerful beast. These 5 influencer resources will help you wrangle it.

Jay Baer’s agency has found that businesses generate $6.50 for every $1 invested in influencer marketing.

But the value of influencers doesn’t end at marketing; it extends to PR and communications. Because no matter your department, the best way to make sure your message is heard by the right people is to have it spread by the right influencers.

So what are you going to do about it?

We suggest two things:

  1. Read up on what influencers are and how they operate. Learn everything you can about them.
  2. Connect with your perfect influencer using a media database. Even better if it has a module like Influencer Streams, which shows you real-time social activity from the journalists and influencers that matter most to your organization, your industry, and your competitors, so you can be the first to know which journalists are talking about the things that are important to you. 

To get you started with No. 1 up there, we’ve compiled five of our most useful and most shared influencer resources.

As for No. 2, here’s a list of questions you should ask before choosing a media database, and here again is an introduction to Influencer Streams, the newest module in the Agility database.
