What is influencer marketing?
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.
It’s a marketing technique where a business collaborates with an online influencer to market its products or services. This strategy often entails using product mentions and endorsements from individuals with in-depth knowledge, expertise, or authority in a particular niche, popularly known as influencers. An influencer can easily sway your target audience into performing a specific action, thanks to their social status. Influencer marketing is becoming increasingly popular in Canada mostly because of the high ROI it can bring to a brand.

Influencer marketing process
Consultation and Onboarding
We usually have an intensive consultation to ensure our influencer marketing services exceed your expectations. In this stage, we will listen to your brand goals and objectives. During this phase, we can also learn about your brand voice. Our team can run an influencer marketing audit to identify the strengths and weaknesses of previous campaigns.
Research and Matchmaking
Finding an influencer who resonates with your brand and niche is more complicated than it seems. But thanks to our years of experience in influencer marketing, we can handpick the perfect choice for your business. From our vast network of potential influencers, we will research and select ambassadors that blend best with your niche and brand voice. During this phase, we also gauge metrics such as the number of followers, comments, and engagements of selected influencers.
Content Management
Having identified a suitable influencer, the specialists at MassCitizen will develop content and share it with the selected ambassador. We have a special team of content creators who can deliver quality pieces that will drive traffic to your website and increase conversions.

At the end of the campaign, you will get a detailed report containing the amount of traffic, conversions, and sales your business has received as a result of the influencer marketing. You can use this report to calculate the ROI generated.
Why do businesses need influencer marketing?
Hiring an influencer to market your products, services, or brand has many benefits. For instance, this approach can significantly enhance your brand’s authenticity. The modern consumer in Canada prefers to do business with reputable and trusted brands. If a public figure or celebrity can vouch for your brand, this can add a lot of points to your credibility.
The other benefit of influencer marketing is that it boosts engagement. Whether you are an established company or a startup, it can be challenging to engage your clients. Most consumers usually skip posts from companies on social media because they assume it’s either an advert or a marketing message. Influencer marketing can help you bridge this gap and reach closer to your clients because they either have expertise in that niche or are simply popular.
Influencer marketing is also known to have a high return on investment. Considering the many people an influencer can reach, a single campaign can drive lots of leads to your business.
What are the different types of influencers?
Nano Influencers
These are ambassadors who have a follower count of less than 10,000. Before you dismiss this small figure, you should know that most nano influencers invest heavily in their relationships with followers. They can, therefore, effectively pass your brand message.
Micro-Influencers
This group refers to those with a follower count of less than 50,000. Micro-influencers also have a close relationship with their followers, and they can improve your brand’s engagement.
Mid-Tier Influencers
These are celebrities with at most 500,000 followers. Their rates are a bit higher, but with their help, you can reach more potential clients.
Macro-Influencers
They have a follower count of 500,000 to 1 million. A macro-influencer is ideal for brands that offer services all over Canada.
Mega Influencers
These are the perfect choice for brands that want to reach many people. Mega influencers charge way more than other types and may be costly for businesses with small marketing budgets.
