Influencers. They're everywhere you look online, shaping trends and influencing consumer decisions. But for brands, navigating the world of influencer marketing can feel like venturing into uncharted territory. How do you find the right influencers? How do you craft a campaign that resonates with their audience?

Here at Wowzi, we understand these challenges. That's why we recently hosted a roundtable discussion at our headquarters, bringing together a group of our top influencers with the executive team at Aufort, a company focused on innovative gold payment solutions.

The goal? To explore the potential of influencer marketing in promoting the use of gold for payments.

Why Include Influencers in the Conversation?

Think of influencers as your audience whisperers. They have a deep understanding of their followers' interests, needs, and online behavior. By including them in the conversation from the get-go, brands gain invaluable insights:

• Targeted messaging: Influencers can help brands tailor their message to resonate with specific audience segments, ensuring maximum impact.
• Building trust: Consumers trust recommendations from people they follow and connect with. Partnering with the right influencers can boost brand credibility and trust.
• Creative spark: Influencers are masters of crafting engaging content. This roundtable buzzed with innovative ideas for campaigns that promote gold payments in fresh, exciting ways.
