Do I need influencers?
Short Answer, Yes!
Influencers are the quickest way for brands to reach eager like-minded customers. Forbes says this about influencers, “Influencer marketing is a relationship between a brand and an influencer. The influencer promotes the brand’s products or services through various media outlets such as Instagram and YouTube. Not to be confused with celebrity endorsements, influencer marketing does more than just attach a well-known celebrity to a brand. Influencers must be trusted figures within a niche community and retain a loyal following. In addition, they typically possess knowledge or experience about what they are advertising.”
The Augusta Influence Collection is way for brands and organizations in the local Augusta Area to be aware of who represents Augusta in a powerful way on the web.
