Meeting the demand for influencer marketing with OKEV Talent USA

‍

Influencer marketing has become a key component of global business marketing strategies, especially in the United States, which is one of the three dominant regions for influencer marketing, followed by South Asia and Europe. Companies of all sizes and fields have turned to social media influencers to promote their products and services, as the demand for influencer marketing has exploded in recent years since its purported origin in 2016.

Influencer marketing is a form of marketing in which brands collaborate with people who have a large following on social media or other platforms. It has grown significantly in recent years, with the market size increasing from $1.7 billion in 2016 to $16.4 billion in 2022 and expected to reach 84.89 billion by 2028. The growth of influencer marketing is being driven by a number of factors, including the increasing use of social media, the rise of mobile device usage and the growing importance of content marketing. Influencer marketing is expected to continue to evolve in the future, with brands and influencers finding new ways to connect with their audience, potentially using new technologies such as virtual and augmented reality.

To meet the growing demand and need, London-based marketing and communications agency, OKEV Group has formed a new division called OKEV Talent in 2020, with a new headquarters in Paris. OKEV Talent is OKEV Group's in-house influencer department that works only with influencers and has a dedicated team of industry experts.

This is especially true for small businesses that may lack the resources to invest in more traditional types of advertising such as television or print.
