THE 7 DEADLY SINS OF INFLUENCER MARKETING
In a world where social has become the new gold rush, brands are increasingly looking to work with influencers. Michael will look at the deadly sins of working with brands; you’ll hear how to fit into a brands’ marketing strategy, how to maximise what they get from working with you and how to ensure both parties get what they are looking for from the relationship.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM WORKING WITH BRANDS
Driven by her philosophy “One day I will not be able to do this. Today is not that day”, Sophie challenges herself both physically and mentally. Amongst many challenges, Sophie is the only person in history to have climbed the highest mountains in the eight Alpine countries and cycled between them. Sophie will talk about how she brings brands along for the ride, sharing the stories she creates and bringing value to her audiences and to the brands she works with.
SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIES FOR BLOGGERS AND INFLUENCERS
Bloggers and influencers have a lot of scope to use social media to promote their blogs and personal brands, and this talk will help experienced bloggers take their strategy to the next level. From strategy audits and best practices to partnerships and monitoring performance, attendees will learn how to hone their strategies for the best results.
