WHAT
does On Digitals’ KOL marketing services do?
The description of KOL marketing suggests that the two main parties are the business and the KOLs themselves, so how does a digital marketing agency fit into this equation?
On Digitals will play an intermediary role, connecting businesses with the perfect KOLs for their marketing strategies. We will go further than simply mediating contact between the parties as we aim to accompany our clients, who are the businesses, throughout the entire process.
Since the KOL and influencer marketing business is growing tremendously, it may be puzzling for companies to navigate it on their own. Our services cover all aspects from identifying the suitable influencers to contacting them and ensuring that their work is in line with the businesses’ strategies.
So of all the KOLs currently active on the Internet, how does On Digitals find the right ones for your company?
WHY
should businesses
collaborate with On Digitals
for KOL marketing?
There are four main elements that we take into consideration to single out the appropriate KOLs for a business and its ongoing campaign.
1. Relevance
The best possible KOLs need to be relevant to both the business and its target customers. Their job is to essentially become an advocate for the brand, so it is a given that they need to understand the company as well as its products and services. We prioritize finding KOLs working in the same industry as the business for the campaign due to their status and expertise in the field.
Moreover, On Digitals conducts thorough research into the business’s target customers. By understanding the demographics and preferences of the audience, we can select KOLs whose followers closely match the desired customer base.
2. Budget
The monetary constraints of the campaign play a significant role in KOL selection. On Digitals works within the allocated budget to identify KOLs who offer the best value for money. We will evaluate the KOL‘s impact, content quality, and price offer to determine the best fit.
3. Reach
Choosing KOLs with a large following seems like an incredible idea, but it is not for all businesses. These KOLs will come with an equally large price tag, so choose at your own consideration and budget. The business scale may dictate the appropriate type of KOLs/influencers for a campaign. While large enterprises can go for macro or even mega influencers. In turn, micro and nano influencers will be perfect for new businesses. All in all, On Digitals will assist businesses in reaching the most suitable KOLs based on their goals, preferences, and budget of the campaign.
4. Image
Last but certainly not least, On Digitals will find KOLs and influencers with a positive and credible public image. These individuals will be the faces of a brand, so their reputation will no doubt reflect on the brand.
On Digitals will always be mindful of brand reputation while booking KOLs. Hence, we always conduct a comprehensive evaluation of their online presence, ensuring that their image, values, and behavior align with the business’s brand values and objectives. This minimizes the risk of any potential controversies.
HOW
does a KOL marketing campaign work?
APPROACH
As the middleman of the project, On Digitals strives to deliver the most ideal results for our clients by ensuring a seamless and successful campaign.
Step 1
Research
The minute On Digitals receives a collaboration offer from a client, our research process will begin. We will examine everything from the company’s identity, products, and services to their budget and objectives.
Our research process enables companies to increase their success possibility and avoid allocating their time and budget for a mismatch.
The audience will also be under scrutiny because the project is directed towards them. Each demographic has distinctive preferences, leading them to prefer various KOLs. On Digitals makes sure to learn about your target customers and compare them with the audience of the KOLs we have in mind.
Step 2
Strategize
After setting our sights on a list of certain KOLs, it is time to put together a plan. Aside from the obvious task of securing the influencers, On Digitals will discuss with our clients over multiple meetings to decide the goals, KPIs, timeline, creative direction, etc. for the entire project.
Step 3
Contact
On Digitals will do the heavy lifting for our clients and contact the influencers ourselves. In a standard KOL marketing campaign, a small number of businesses may enlist the help of only one KOL, provided that their influence is big enough. For the remaining companies, there is usually a group of KOLs participating in one project.
We will bring together a suitable blend of influencers from four tiers: mega, macro, micro, and nano influencers, depending on the insights we have learned from step 1 and additional input from the clients. Furthermore, On Digitals aims to foster a long-running and stable working relationship between all three parties to enhance the effectiveness of the project and potential future ones.
Step 4
Brief
For this service, the content creation task lies in the hands of the KOLs instead of On Digitals. This does not mean we will not accompany you during the process.
We still take a proactive approach, albeit more on the briefing and outlining side of things. Working closely with the business, we will determine the direction for the project, including content types, angles, schedules, platforms, etc., and inform the KOLs.
Step 5
Monitor and analyze
The final stage of the campaign involves us keeping track of key metrics like engagement, impressions, reach, and conversions. We employ analytic tools to collect and generate reports for clients while providing our evaluation and proposing appropriate courses of action.
