'Influencer Marketing Is Hot. So Hot, There Are Cat Influencers' - Deepika Mallyk, IIM Bangalore
Content is surely the king. But influencers, crown this content king. The impact of influencer marketing is evident from the popularity gained by our favorite series of fantasy novels ‘Harry Potter’. It's only 43 influencers who drove majority of share conversations. With estimates from surveys about the rise of influencer marketing and ineffectiveness of traditional tactics by global trusted companies such as PwC, Nielsen, Forrester Research etc. it isn’t surprising to expect something as crazy as pets making thousands of dollars, having millions of followers and with net worth in billions. Meanwhile words like petfluencer, pelbrities, pet blogging, petworking, pawesome and petselfie etc. are all over internet. Brands aren’t making these pets such as L’IL BUB, Tuna, Manny the frenchie, Colonel Meow etc. famous – it’s the other way around. For instance, grumpy cat is the official ‘spokesperson’ for Friskies, brand for wet and dry cat foods and treats. Grumpy Cat’s merchandise includes licensed t-shirts, mugs, stuffed toys and even ‘Grumppucinno’ iced coffee beverages.
