Social media has evolved to become one of the key platforms for brands to promote their products. Brands partner with social media influencers to endorse their products and it is highly likely that you would have seen a couple of sponsored posts every now and then when you’re scrolling through your social media feed. A recent report reveals how much these social media influencers are being paid on an average to promote these brands.
“Marketers continue to place more value on the content and distribution provided by influencers. We believe content produced by influencers is competing with and in many cases replacing creative that was traditionally produced by agencies. Despite the dramatic price increases up to this point, influencers are generally able to produce content much more cost effectively than agencies”,says Ted Murphy, Founder, and CEO of IZEA.
Now thatInstagram has started testingits approach tohide likes by default globally, it remains to be seen if this change reflects the payments of influencers. So, has a sponsored post ever influenced your purchase decision? Tell us in the comments.
