Cameo, the tech company that prioritized creators and celebrities, had a successful influencer marketing strategy. They understood the importance of building relationships with influencers and dedicated a significant portion of their team to talent outreach and support. They also leveraged user-generated content, such as reaction videos, to promote their platform and attract more users. This approach proved effective in the B2C space, and now there is a growing trend of B2B influencer marketing. Building owned media channels and leveraging AI tools can help companies establish their presence and reach their target audience more effectively. The future of marketing lies in owning the raw materials, such as data and AI models, and building a strong audience base to drive growth.
