Social media artists, are young creative people who have
managed to get big number of followers (ranging from 10k up
to more than 8 Million) solely using a social media network.
Intro
3. Social Artists
Their savviness of how the social networks’ algorithm
works and ability to develop great social stories are the
main reason for their success. Putting these skills to
create posts for brands or small businesses has so far
shown great results.
If this trend continues and social media artists manage to
keep delivering great micro content for brands while
keeping their followers engaged the advertising industry
should get ready for a big shake up. Here are 7 reasons
why:
4. 1.Smaller Media Budget
The cost of working with a social media artist will depend
on different variables such as the number of followers,
where he is based or his experience with other brands.
There is not yet a defined rate cards like in traditional
online media ads.
However, in my experience, the CPM (Cost Per Thousand
impression) of a social media artist post is usually much
lower than what you would get for an online ad placement.
In addition to that, many of these artists have much higher
reach within social media channels where millennials are
spending most of their time than well-established global
mass media networks.
5. 2.Their reach is organic not paid
Organic means people see the influencer’s content because
they are following them and they like what they post on their
network. Paid means you are going to see this in your channel
because for exemple, Facebook decided you fit the description
of a brand target audience.
Brands should not just look on how many views they achieve
but also how they achieve them. An organic impression or view
should be more valuable for a brand than a paid impression.
6. 3.You do not need creative team hours
Influencers are your creative team, in fact they are so creative
they have managed to get millions of people to engage with
them almost daily. The expensive hours brands pay for a
creative director in tradition advertising campaigns are
inclusive when you are working with social media artists.
7. 4. Much lower production costs
You will not need to pay for a production company to rent
mega expensive equipment and fly to an exotic place to
produce an expensive ad for you. Social media artists can do
amazing micro content by just using their phone.
8. 5.They provide you with many extras
I have worked with many different agencies and enjoy working
with creative teams and account manager. But in the end
agency employees are part of a big organization with revenue
targets they are pressured to achieve.
Influencers when contacted directly are their own Boss and will
normally throw in a few extras if they like you. They are also
great consultants and will tell you in your face what you are
doing wrong in your own social media network.
9. 6.They try to be authentic
For social media artists to survive in this field they know they
need to be authentic because if they are not they immediately
see a big loss of followers as well as negative comments.
10. 7.You can reach the different tribes
In social media it is common to see tribes. Or people who
are focused and interested to post and engage with
specific type of content. There are the fashionistas, the
foodies, the comedians, the magicians, the rich boys,
extreme sports, memes and the list goes on.
Regardless of what you are selling or where you want to
position your brand you will find a specialized social media
artist that is influencing these tribes and can help you do
the same for your brand.
11. In a novel piece of research mentioned in Forbes “4 out of
every 5 consumers say that brands don’t behave as if they
really know them”. Influencer marketing could be the way
to help marketers do advertising in a more effective way.
Social media artists certainly know what their followers
want to see.
