What is an influencer campaign?

An influencer campaign, or influencer marketing campaign, involves collaborating with content creators to promote a brand, product, or service to their community. More authentic than traditional advertising, it relies on the trust an influencer has built with their audience to generate visibility, engagement, and conversions. Depending on the goals, an influencer campaign may aim to build awareness, drive traffic, boost sales, launch a product, or strengthen brand image.

The stages of a successful influencer campaign

A high-performing influencer campaign follows a structured method. To learn more, discover why launch an influencer marketing campaign and our guide to the 5 essential phases of an effective campaign.

  • Define clear objectives : awareness, engagement, traffic, or sales, with measurable indicators.
  • Choosing the right influencers : alignment of values, audience quality, and engagement rate matter more than follower count alone.
  • Build a creative brief : frame the message while leaving the influencer the freedom that makes it authentic.
  • Select formats and platforms : posts, stories, reels, long-form videos, or live streams, depending on the target audience.
  • Track and analyze performance : reach, engagement, traffic, conversions, and return on investment.

Which platforms should you use to launch your influencer campaigns?

The choice of network depends on your target audience and your goals. Instagram remains essential for visual content and lifestyle, TikTok for virality and younger audiences, YouTube for long-form content and product demonstrations, Facebook for a broad, local audience, and X and LinkedIn for current events and B2B topics. An omnichannel influencer campaign often combines several of these levers. Discover our influencers on social media and our selection of top influencers by theme.
