Influencer marketing campaigns

Understanding the content creator landscape as well as the nuances of what makes a product placement successful was crucial in the process of defining the influencer marketing strategy. Influencers from major market countries within Europe and the US were selected.

On the one hand, reach and engagement or each creator’s Instagram profile were always important factors in choosing key collaborations. On the other hand, it was equally important to identify those creators who genuinely love the product and would be willing to incorporate it into their lifestyle in the most organic way possible.

Each collaboration was closely monitored and directly correlated with the following metrics: creator’s sponsored post’s engagement rate, CLUSE Instagram account follower growth, website traffic, and weekly sales/revenue.

Key benefits:

  1. Increase brand awareness and reach new consumer niches/markets

  2. Ensure that the CLUSE brand identity is preserved and strengthened

  3. Foster a trustworthy, long-term, loyal collaboration

  4. Resonate with each creator’s audience in the best way possible in order to maximise leads.
