This event is fully booked

At this inaugural meeting of the University of Hertfordshire/CIM Marketing Club we will take an in-depth look at influencer marketing.

Influencer marketing has risen in popularity among brands in recent times. Marketers are noticeably appreciating the value of influencers in raising brand awareness, creating authentic content and driving engagement.

But how can brands ensure authenticity and how do brands find the right influencers? Should influencers be given creative freedom and how do you minimise the risks? And how do you measure the ROI of your influencer strategy?

A leading advocate of the craft is Mumsnet’s Amie Shearer, Head of Influencer Marketing who is responsible for managing the Mumsnet Influencer Network of over 10,000 UK bloggers, vloggers and social media stars.

Amie will explain how Mumsnet and Gransnet meticulously go about recruiting, selecting and managing the best influencers to work on campaigns both for themselves and brand partners.
