• Naked Juice

 

This brand specializes in bottled juice and has opted to open up in the health, fashion, and beauty sector. They used Instagram through some influencers with great power on this platform.

 

Kate Spiers was chosen for Naked Juice’s ad campaign for being a blogger who writes about lifestyles. She shares posts where she includes photos of clothes she uses for different outfits. Aside from this, she also shares the beauty products she uses daily.

 

The strategy for this campaign has been to include in the middle of these photographs a bottle of Naked Juice.

This brand made an exciting advertising campaign called “Individuals.” The brand included several personalities with great influence on social media.

 

The objective was to show how these influencers combined GAP clothes. This way, users who saw the images of these influencers on the brand’s official website could choose to buy the complete outfit in the captions of the photographs.

 

This campaign has had an extraordinary reach.

 

After all, it worked with influencers with different lifestyles.

The spirits industry also wanted to enjoy the benefits of influencer marketing with advertising campaigns. Diageo is the parent company of Scottish spirits Lagavulin and Oban. In 2015 it received an award at the Shorty Awards for best influencer marketing campaign.

 

All this is due to the Christmas video where actor Nick Offerman was the protagonist. This video was 44 minutes long. We could see him next to a fireplace looking thoughtfully in front of the camera in it. All while he took small sips of whiskey.

 

This way, both the personal brand of this actor and the Christmas premise made the video go viral. Thus, becoming a great success.

This way, these people were invited to develop visual content to be shown on the brand’s official account.

 

• Estée Lauder

 

This is one of the most important cosmetic companies in the world. And having been in the market for 75 years, for them, it was time to address a younger audience.

 

For this, this company launched a derivative brand, “Estée Edit.” They hired nothing more and nothing less than the younger sister of the Kardashians, Kendall Jenner.

 

Kendall has a fan base of more than 2 million followers on Instagram. In this case, she collaborated with this brand to create 82 make-up and skincare products that would be part of the “edited” collection. She later promoted the brand on her Instagram account while appearing on the official “Estée Edit” account. Here, she shared makeup tips regarding this line’s products.

This campaign, which had the hashtag #NikeDiaDeMuertos, managed to exhaust this collection in a few hours of sale both in the official Nike store and other points of sale.

 

This marketing campaign was successful thanks to the collaboration with influencers on Instagram and the use of the Mexican tradition that was known worldwide thanks to the movie “Coco.”

 

• Coca Cola 

 

In 2021, the Olympic Games were held in London. This was the right moment for Coca-Cola to launch a campaign in Colombia in which 20 influencers could collaborate. The campaign consisted of a contest where the award was a trip for the winners. To win, participants had to upload a video to YouTube explaining why they wanted to attend the Olympic games and a “bet” that could remind the brand and these games.

 

The influencers made the invitation on their channels, and the company managed to get more than 1000 participants. This, in turn, resulted in more than 1,000 videos and 350,000 visits to the channel.

 

This way, the contest allowed three participants plus an influencer with their own YouTube channel to attend the Olympics with all expenses paid and live this unforgettable experience.

 

• Converse 

 

Influencer marketing for this brand was spontaneous. Fergicienta, a Colombian influencer and blogger for 2015, published through Twitter that she had been looking for white converse for more than two months and had not been able to find them.

 

The brand surprised this influencer as they stopped by her office to leave some white converse. This fact generated many reactions, so the brand became a trend in a few hours.

 

Years later, the brand took advantage of this incident by running a contest with which they were able to generate content for a marketing campaign. As you can see, the history of this brand with the influencer managed to attract a large number of users. As a result, this event became the best campaign for the brand.

 

• Corona beer 

 

Influencer marketing campaigns also serve to raise awareness.

 

 That’s why the Mexican beer brand Corona had an initiative known as #desplastificate of 2019. This way, it was able to convene both influencers and the public to keep the oceans free of plastic and clean Mexican beaches. As a result, they raised awareness of the importance of not throwing waste such as plastic into the ecosystem.

 

This movement had the union of a group of influencers and opinion leaders, including Arturo Islas Allende, a Mexican environmentalist with over 2 million followers on his Instagram account.

This worldwide recognized cosmetics brand also opted for influencer marketing.

 

This beauty brand worked with Aida Domenech Pascual, an influencer with over 2 million followers on Instagram.
