a testimonial or an unboxing video, they must do so in close proximity to the content itself. Links to disclosure should be properly formatted and labelled clearly as disclosure link. If it’s for example an Instagram post and the space is constrained, clear hashtags should be available, like ad, sponsored, etc. Consumers may not be looking for, or expecting to find
disclosures, but the advertiser is responsible for ensuring that the message is truthful and not deceptive. The disclosure should be in each and every ad that would require disclosure, because it cannot be assumed that consumers will see and associate multiple space-constrained advertisements. If a product within an interactive ad is available to be purchased,
required disclosures should be included in the ad itself (Federal Trade CommissionWell, the world has changed quite a lot recently in terms of marketing. Those marketing methods that used to be popular, like TV and prints, don’t work that well anymore because people don’t spend that much time on those medias anymore. People spend more time on social media and when you think about influencer marketing where a person recommends a product or

is the most trustworthy source of marketing. The message that is communicated through the influencer appears as much more credible, authentic and likeable. Influencers have a lot of credibility because he or she is an expert in for ex. fashion, beauty, interior or food. Influencers rec-ommending products are seen as credible and they reach a lot of people. Influencer marketing is a marketing method that is liked a lot more than traditional marketing,
because people voluntarily follow these people and get inspiration from them. Also, influencer marketing is a very cost effective way of marketing. We’ve noticed that influencer just is a marketing method that works. Q5 How does Influencer marketing differentiate from other marketing methods? Quite often companies just set up a messages which they communicate to the consumer, and the consumer just receives the message and there is no space for reaction or conversation, while in Influencer Marketing, the company uses a person who is
kind of an consumer him or her self, but more like a pro consumer to transfer the message to his or her followers. On social media the marketing message is not only one directed, but the followers can also respond to the message and ask questions. Also, in traditional marketing, the company is able to have full control of the message that is sent out, of the content, and
How the marketing message is communicated
while you need to let go of that 100 % control when doing influencer marketing, and let the influencer be the one who does the final message.influencer marketing to determine how it differentiates from the B2C market. The second identifies the attributes of influencers that are vital for relational purposes in the B2B space. The third contribution explores the processes of B2B influencer marketing, particularly the common tactical and strategic approaches. Finally,
we identify the challenges encountered in B2B influencer marketing practices that help marketers in developing influencer marketing approaches and their practical applications. Following a review of twenty-two interviews with senior marketing professionals across different sectors in the UK, our research highlights how B2B influencer marketing differs from that of B2C influencer marketing: notably regarding influencer attributes such as professional
standing, reach, and type of content. From a strategic perspective, B2B influencer marketing employs both internal and external influential actors to create endorsement-based and experience-based content, aiming at developing trusting relationships and generating meaningful engagement with a broad range of stakeholders. We also identify conservativism,
Lack of practical knowledge and insufficient
strategic integration with the marketing strategy as challenges facing B2B organisations in practising influencer marketing. We recognise influencer marketing as a novel approach to acquiring and maintaining relationships and theorise how B2B relationship marketing in the digital age engages influencers in employee advocacy, customer reference marketing, and
organisational endorsement (Andersson & Wikstrom, ¨ 2017; Magno & Cassia, 2020). We conclude by offering important managerial insights into the significance and critical considerations of influencer marketing for B2B organisations and suggest avenues for future researchinfluence over members of a community”. Their work identifies internal (e.g., employees) and external influential users (e.g., corporate, customer, professional, and civilian
users) as members of professional and civilian SM communities. The work of Huotari et al. (2015) explores the essential natures of “who” the influential users are and “where” the content is created. In contrast to that approach, we directly examine the phenomenon of influencer marketing with a focus on “what” B2B influencer marketing entails and “how” B2B
Conclusion
organisations currently utilise influencer marketing to develop relationships on SM. We, thus, take a more strategic approach and explore the process of B2B influencer marketing through our empirical inquiry. The inchoate state of B2B influencer marketing calls for us first to identify the attributes of actors in B2B influencer marketing and then to decipher the theoretical perspectives of this growing B2B phenomenon. 2.1.1. Internal and external
influencers Huotari et al. (2015) identify internal and external influential users as the two groups that contribute to B2B organisations’ SM content creation. Internal influential users are often employees with manifest expertise in SM, which enables them to act as brand ambassadors (Drummond, O’Toole, & McGrath, 2020; Huotari et al., 2015). Furthermore, research by Cartwright, Liu, and Raddats (2021) proposes the distinction between the
personal and corporate voices of SM. On one hand, influencer marketing is a personal voice, conveying the trustworthiness and expertise of the individual content creator. On the other hand, the organisation can itself be an influencer by expressing its voice via corporate SM channels (Cartwright, Davies, & Archer-Brown, 2021; Huotari et al., 2015). Employees’ SM activity helps to position a strong occupational identity and generate branded content, both fo
