The Instagram influencer agency that you choose to work with will be a big part of how successful your campaign winds up being. Choosing a bad agency, with poor organization, influencers with no influence, or who overcharge and underperform, can break your budget and ad campaign.
This article is going to show you five influencer agencies that have proven themselves to be successful. They all have great influencers in a variety of industries and niches who can truly turn your Instagram ad campaign around, and help you get the followers, shares, and comments you’re after.
They have in-house tracking technology which can measure the content performance of the influencers you’re looking at working with, or actively working with. Being able to show real ROI is so important for making sure that everyone in your organization understands the importance of your influencers.
Not only can you track influencers, but you can also use Upfluence Analytics to track what influencers across social media are saying about you – giving you an opportunity to work with rising influencers, keep an eye on competitors, and watch trends and topics develop.
