Social Media Celebrity: Audience vs True Influence
Influencer outreach remains core to many brand and product marketing campaigns. However, apart from generating social “participation at scale,” these partnerships may offer brands and their agencies little to show for the investment, other than a quick bump in credibility.
Some brands further elect to create industry spokespeople, who become celebrity influentials themselves. But there are risks.
This expert panel debates the pros & cons of creating social media celebrities, or partnering with digital screen stars. BuzzFeed’s VP of Video, Jonathan Perelman will argue against creating or paying influentials in social media. Former Nike Mktg. Execs turned agency co-founder Amir Mohamadzadeh (Rosewood LA) will argue in favor of social celebrity & influentials. Toyota's Lisa Materazzo, Corp. Mgr. Media & Digital Engagement will hold the center. Saatchi & Saatchi LA's Ciaran Bossom will moderate. Rosewood's recent work for Nike Fuelband will be showcased.
