    Our guide to influencer marketing

    Last week we talked about User-Generated Content. This week we’re covering influencer marketing and how the two differ. UGC is where you get a third-party user to create video/images for your products marketing. You provide an outline of what you’d like covered and you get the video back to post as your own company’s content… like it’s a customer review. Influencer marketing is where an influencer of some kind gets your products and showcases them to their audience and they influence them to look into them/buy them. If their idol likes it and wears it, then they might too. Influencers can be famous celebrities, YouTubers, Authority figures.

    User generated Content (UGC)

    User generated content in social media is on the rise in the UK. You’ll have probably seen it in your feed without even knowing. So, what is it and why is it important for you to know about it as a small business owner? It’s a form of social media content, generally in video form that’s created by ‘users’ and shared on the brands social media channels as a customer review. It can be a paid for service or a free gifted collaboration. UGC can help newly formed companies to quickly add an element of social proof and credibility. For example, if you’re launching a new product that has no pre-existing customer reviews, it can be a great starting point. We’d love to hear if you’d tried UGC, or want to know how to get started.

    Which has been your favourite Christmas TV Ad

    🍊🎙 In November we started to see the big brands' Christmas Ads trickle through onto our TV screens and you’ve probably had a belly full of them by now! Do you have a favourite one or two? What is it that you like about these certain ads? For us, our firm favourite is the much-talked-about John Lewis advert. Their agency has got the messaging right this year. It’s a family comes first message, with a harsh reality fact of how many children are in the care system. No massive spread of food, and they haven’t thrown a massive guilt bomb of Christmas gift-giving down our throats, which makes a refreshing change. 🎙🍊
