Influencer Branding in der Versicherungswirtschaft (Innovatives Markenmanagement)
by Daniel ThiefesDie Entscheidung für ein Versicherungsprodukt und dessen jeweiligen Anbieter ist seit jeher vom eigenen sozialen Umfeld der Käufer geprägt.

Diesbezüglich könnten sogenannte Social Media Influencer (SMIs), welche als digitale Meinungsführer gelten, zum Schlüsselfaktor für Versicherer werden. SMIs beeinflussen in sozialen Netzwerken die Meinungen und Einstellungen ihrer Follower und nehmen damit Einfluss auf deren Verhalten. Die vorliegende Veröffentlichung nimmt sich daher der Fragestellung an, inwiefern sich die Marketingform des Influencer Brandings für Versicherer zur Erreichung der Generation Z eignet. Hierdurch erzielte wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse liefern zahlreiche praxisnahe Hinweise für Manager*innen und Markenverantwortliche von Versicherern und geben somit Orientierung zur Erreichung junger Leute.

Influencer Marketing
by Jill Avery Ayelet IsraeliDespite a heavy barrage of advertising, most consumers declare that their purchases are most influenced by the experiences, advice, and recommendations of others, and not by marketers. Interpersonal communication between and among consumers serves as a potent path for influence, and by 2022, marketing managers are expected to spend $15 billion on influencer marketing, a marketing technique in which companies partner with people with specialized knowledge, expertise, authority, social position, and/or personal relationships that enable them to have influence over others to co-produce marketing messages to promote their brands via offline and electronic word-of-mouth. This technical note provides an overview of influencer marketing and discusses the various roles that influencers play for marketers, including delivering marketing messages in a more authentic voice and setting than that offered by more traditional advertising media where messages are authored by firms. It categorizes different types of influencers, explains the social psychological processes that make interpersonal influence work, and provides guidelines on how to identify people with influence. It discusses the opportunities and challenges related to measuring the performance of influencers and assessing the costs and return-on-investment of influencer marketing programs. Finally, it highlights emerging risks in the contemporary influencer marketing landscape.
Influencer Marketing
by Nick Hayes Duncan BrownInfluencer Marketing is the most important new approach to marketing in a decade for those professionals at the leading edge of purchasing decision making. It shows that key decision makers in all major markets operate within communities of influencers- because major decisions are too complex and risky to taken in isolation. The ‘ecosystems’ this creates are full of these critically important people, whose impact on purchasing decisions is both pivotal and misunderstood. This new book demonstrates that-• As mass media impact wanes so the role of influencers grows - marketers need to know why and how to use this knowledge• The impact of blogs, wikis and other social media is that they enable new influencers to emerge, and disperse traditional sources of influence.• Large and small businesses worldwide pour billions of pounds each year into influencing what they think are their influencers. This book shows you that most of that money is being spent on the wrong people, leaving the real influencers all too often untouched.• Influencers do not do the buying, are not obvious, cannot be bought, and start off neutral - which is why their potential to affect sales is so great• Influencers are not all equal - they can be assessed, ranked and prioritised to be used effectively• Influencers can be influenced – the question is how to get to them to generate market awareness, leads and address sales barriersInfluencer marketing is closely related to the relentless rise and success of word of mouth (WOM) and relationship marketing, and is now established as one of the armoury of new techniques professionals must use. For all those involved in marketing and sales this book will be an essential analysis of how to identify who has influence, how they apply it, and how you can turn it to your advantage.

Influencer Relations: Marketing Und Pr Mit Digitalen Meinungsführern
by Annika Schach Timo LommatzschDie Zusammenarbeit mit digitalen Influencern wird für die Marketing- und PR-Abteilungen großer Unternehmen immer interessanter. Neben klassischer Werbung, Media Relations und Content Marketing gehört auch das Influencer Marketing mittlerweile zum Handwerkszeug der Unternehmenskommunikation. Aber was sind eigentlich Influencer? Influencer sind die Meinungsführer und Meinungsmacher des digitalen Zeitalters. Typischerweise haben sie sich über verschiedene digitale Kanäle (wie Blogs und Social Media) ein Netzwerk aufbauen können, in dem sie dank einer gewissen Themenkompetenz als Anlaufquelle für bestimmte Informationen gelten. Influencer sind in der Regel also weder Journalisten noch klassischen Testimonials oder Prominente, die seit jeher in der Werbung als Botschafter eingesetzt werden, sondern viel mehr ganz normale Menschen, die sich in der digitalen Öffentlichkeit den Ruf eines Experten für bestimmte Themen erarbeiten konnten. In Unternehmen gilt daher die Pflege der Influencer Relations als Weiterentwicklung des Empfehlungsmarketings. Denn auch wenn die Theorie die Wirksamkeit des Influencer Marketings noch oft kritisch diskutiert, sind Unternehmen, die mittlerweile - ausschließlich oder verstärkt - auf diese Form der Kommunikation setzen, sehr erfolgreich damit. Dieses Grundlagenwerk bietet erstmals eine fundierte Aufbereitung der Felder Influencer Relations und Influencer Marketing. Neben einer umfassenden Definition und Abgrenzung der wichtigen Begrifflichkeiten stellt es vor allem die Aspekte der strategischen Planung und praktischen Umsetzung vor und erläutert die Themen Evaluation/Key Performance Indicators sowie rechtliche und medienethische Grundlagen. Führende Experten aus der Praxis geben anhand aktueller Best-Cases einen Einblick in den aktuellen Status quo der jungen Disziplin, der vor allem für Vertreter aus Unternehmen und Agenturen interessant ist. Insgesamt ein lohnendes Buch für Kommunikations- und Marketingexperten wie auch Studierende der Kommunikationswissenschaften sowie der Public Relations und des Marketings.
