David Morneau 1:29
Thanks, Josh, for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Joshua Chin 1:32
Now let’s dive into it. How do you get started in the agency world and specifically in micro influencers? The micro influencer niche?
David Morneau 1:43
Yeah, that’s a good question. So essentially, we were tuned back five years ago, we were an SEO agency building backlinks doing a lot of outreach on that front client tells us into direct to consumer segment tells us Hey, you know, we’d like to run some influencer outreach, we’d like to get some content from these micro influencers. Is that something you could help with? Turns out, we start doing the outreach, we start, you know, getting influencers on boarded, we realize, Oh, crap, there’s a service here that we can build. And that’s where we took it off. We built a software, which, you know, helps us discover influencers and we built our service arm through through the years and here we are now today, selling influencer marketing, more specifically micro influencer marketing to hundreds of you know, brands across the board. So yeah, that’s the story.
Joshua Chin 2:30
It’s incredible. Tell me a little bit more of a micro influencers versus just influencers, plainly why micro influencers, specifically?
David Morneau 2:40
A couple of reasons. There’s the sales cycles are usually much shorter in the sense that, you know, they’re they’re not represented by agents, so they can make a decision in a finger snap, it’s extremely easy to manage these relationships, they are cheaper, so you get more content assets or your budget. And they are extremely engaged with their audience if you do the selection, right. So that’s really why we focus on micro influencers. The one of the biggest factors is probably just the price per collaboration is much lower, and it’s much easier to deploy the content. There are some drawbacks, though, you know, they are quite hard to manage in many cases where this is not a full time job they’re doing you know, this is not their business so they can go sue you need to follow up make sure you have the right systems in place but yeah, that’s why we we love micro influencers in
