Leading Business Influencers with Extensive Networks Join Global Digital Platform to Help Boost Marketing Campaigns of B2B and B2C Brands
MIDDLETOWN, DE, March 18, 2021 – InfluencerActive, Inc. today announced the global launch of the world’s first business influencer digital marketplace, featuring more than 100 highly networked, leading business influencers for B2B and B2C brands. These influencers are spread across 15 countries in the U.S., Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Europe. The marketplace offers a combined first-level reach of over 16 million people and a network reach of more than 150 million people, numbers that are growing daily as more influencers join the platform. The InfluencerActive digital marketplace is available around the globe.
According to Business Insider, the influencer marketing industry will grow to $15 billion by 2022. Additionally, a recent survey conducted by Influencer Marketing Hub shows that 75% of brands said they intend to dedicate a budget to influencer marketing in 2021, and 90% of survey respondents said they believe influencer marketing is an effective form of marketing.
“Consumer-oriented social media channels like Instagram, YouTube, and more recently, TikTok, have been generating engagement for some time, while business-focused influencers have largely flown beneath the radar,” said Anthony James, CEO of InfluencerActive. “On sites like LinkedIn and Twitter, business leaders, executives, coaches, and even CEOs have built networks of influence that regularly reach millions of people around the world. But until now, there has been no easy way for B2B brands to engage and activate business influencers.”
“The launch of InfluencerActive will change the influencer marketing game for both B2B and B2C brands, particularly with small businesses and medium-sized enterprises,” James continued. “Our focus is on curating a cadre of ‘hyper-networked’ individuals – real professionals who have a vested interest in their professional network and the ability to generate high levels of engagement. As a digital marketplace, we have global scope and our influencers have worldwide reach through their networks of influence. In general, our customers don’t engage our influencers for their local expertise but for their regional and international scale.”
An Easier Way to Leverage the Power of Influencer Marketing
InfluencerActive was founded by CEO Anthony James, who for nearly 30 years, on four continents, has worked with organizations of all types and sizes to learn the art of leadership, influence, and technology disruption. The digital marketplace makes it easy for marketing leaders, brands, and agencies to work with influencers, giving them a direct line of communication and a simple process for integrating them into a campaign to increase awareness and impact. With the InfluencerActive marketplace, B2B and B2C marketers can quickly book an influencer, send the desired media and messaging, and see their content pushed live by the influencer within a matter of hours.
“I knew nothing about influencers prior to connecting to InfluencerActive,” said Red Welke, Founder, T-Rex Hammer – Made in the USA. “Our first experience with the platform was absolutely mind-blowing. We received hundreds of inquiries almost immediately. The platform delivers amazing value through professional recognition and brand awareness. We will be utilizing InfluencerActive consistently as part of our long-term marketing and growth strategy.”
“Advertising just doesn’t offer the same value as it once did,” said James. “Sponsored posts simply take the old ‘interruption marketing’ model and apply it to digital news feeds. But people don’t want to be interrupted. They want context, a story, entertainment, and trust. Our influencers are well-positioned to do that, and our platform is the ideal vehicle for making that happen.”
