H&M

To do this, this brand turned to fashion blogger Julie Sariñana, with 6 million Instagram followers. They also worked with Ela Velden, an actress, and model with over 1.5 million followers.

 

For this campaign, the main idea was to have these influencers carry out a normal routine including the latest collection launched by H&M. Part of its success was thanks to the choice of two profiles that could reflect the true style of the brand on their own.

 

Both the blogger and model were struck by what was offered by this brand, and that is why their recommendations were 100% sincere which the audience noticed.

 

Adidas 

 

In 2015, this brand wanted to implement a strategy to outperform the competition in terms of sales. Similarly, another of its objectives was to win the attention of the “millennials” once and for all. For this, they created a social media campaign led by influencers.

 

By using the content generated by users on Instagram, many influencers asked their users to send photos. This way, they had the chance of being models of the Adidas brand campaign launched during the spring season.

 

It’s worth noting that this campaign had the inclusion of celebrities of the level of Selena Gomez. This, of course, gave a great boost to this campaign. Because of this, the results of this campaign on social media were very positive. In fact, it obtained over 10,000 entries in the hashtag #MyNeoShoot, which was the name of the campaign.

Loot Crate

However, to increase awareness of their brand, they had the wonderful idea of ​​recruiting some influencers. In this case, the famous PewDiePie managed to direct his over 57 million YouTube subscribers to this campaign.

 

They also invited Jack Douglas, also known as Jacksfilms. Together they created videos to explain and give their opinion regarding the content of these jack-in-the-boxes.

 

The success of this campaign was due to the correct selection of these influencers. After all, the brand’s audience already trusted them and their word. Because of this, it was easy for them to trust the brand too.

 

Similarly, this campaign also allowed the brand to showcase its best products. All while taking advantage of the opportunity to interact with the public and create authentic links.

 

Educational Insights

 

This children’s educational game store used Tik Tok to launch its campaign with influencers.

 

The goal?

 

To promote its product “Playfoam Puffle”. To do this, together with the influencers agency “The Influencer Marketing Factory” they selected 10 influencers with great relevance in the platform to have a reach of more than 14 million followers.

 

For 4 weeks the influencers shared different videos, thus achieving more than 2.5 million video views.

 

Diageo

The video in which the actor Nick Offerman appears sitting for 44 minutes in a chair by a fireplace, while he looks in front of the camera in total silence and drinking whiskey, went viral. The idea presented by this alcoholic beverage company ended up being a real success.

 

The reason is that this video turns out to be very addictive since while the video is running you wait for something to happen, and in the end, nothing happens. So, that desire of the users to see a different twist in the video makes it special.

 

This idea has been so creative that it got an award for being rated as one of the best cases where an influencer marketing campaign was implemented.

 

American Express

 

American Express aimed to boost the Premium benefits associated with its Amex Platinum cards. To achieve this, they went in search of Shaquille O’Neal and other popular people on Instagram.

Also, although Bachlet’s video was an advertisement, she managed to make it look like her usual videos, which made them a very eye-catching factor.

 

Tom’s of Maine

 

This brand focused on the manufacture of personal care products also sought the help of influencers to boost itself. In this sense, they took into account that not everything is about quantity, but quality.

 

Tom’s of Maine uses only natural ingredients to create its toiletries. Therefore, they needed to create a campaign that would directly target shoppers who care about their health. For this, the brand resorted to micro-influencers with few followers, but with an audience made up of their target audience.

 

This way, micro-influencers began to touch on topics related to these toiletry products, seeking the interaction of their followers. As a result, this campaign managed to capture more than 4 million potential customers in the first three months of its launch.

 

The success of this campaign depends on the fact that the smaller the audience, the more trust users have in the influencers.

 

Walmart

 

Walmart also worked on a marketing campaign with influencers, in this case, they used Tik Tok. This international retail corporation sought the collaboration of this platform’s influencers to create a Black Friday-themed campaign using the hashtag #DealDropDance.
