Last week we talked about User-Generated Content. This week we’re covering influencer marketing and how the two differ.

UGC is where you get a third-party user to create video/images for your products marketing. You provide an outline of what you’d like covered and you get the video back to post as your own company’s content… like it’s a customer review.

Influencer marketing is where an influencer of some kind gets your products and showcases them to their audience and they influence them to look into them/buy them. If their idol likes it and wears it, then they might too. Influencers can be famous celebrities, YouTubers, Authority figures.
