14 Best Influencer Marketing Platforms to Increase your Campaigns

A lot has already been spoken and written about the quick growth of influencer marketing in the last few years. As we are seeing influencer marketing evolve into an important niche by itself, the concepts and ideas of influencer marketing are progressively getting distilled to make them more useful. Broadly speaking, companies wishing to do influencer marketing can either use influencer marketing agencies or influencer marketing platforms. Platforms can be used beneficially by both marketers as well as influencers themselves.What exactly is influencer marketing? It is when you the person you get to speak about your brand on the internet is a well-respected expert on the subject, almost like a celebrity endorsement. The difference between an internet influencer and areal world celebrity is that the latter group consists of people who are generally accepted as celebrities. But it is not so easy to agree on who a good internet influencer is. And that is where influencer platforms fulfil a pressing need of helping identify such influencers by getting companies and influencers on a single platform.


The problem with the influencer marketing space is that it has grown exponentially in the last few years, and therefore the boundaries and definitions of influencer marketing agencies and influencer marketing platforms are sometimes not so well defined, and there are some overlaps. That’s the reason why we were a bit confused by some of the names when we got down to compiling this list of the top influencer marketing platforms. We will leave it to you to judge which are agencies which shouldn’t feature here.

Content BLVD

This is a great tool for product based brands to utilize the reach of YouTube. The brands which use this platform get connected to creators of YouTube videos and ride those videos to spread the word about their products. The process of making the match starts with YouTube video creators making a full year calendar of their upcoming videos and the interested brands seeking out those videos to find which ones would have a synergy with their products.

The process works backwards as well, with companies and brands listing their products on the BLVD marketplace, so that YouTube video makers can see if any product has a possible synergy with a video they are making or planning to make. If that is so, then they can route a sample request to the company through BLVD, and if the company/brand accepts, they would share a sample. Both sides of the story are unpaid, so it works only on the correct match between video makers and product owners.

Content BLVD does recognize that no one logs on to the internet to watch advertisements, so they also focus on fun filled yet informative content which can make sense for a product to align to. The success of this model has ensured that more than 6000 You Tube video makers and 3000 brands are tied in to BLVD.

Mustr

This is an influencer marketing platform which allows companies and marketing agencies to get their blogger network on a shared platform. This group would also include web journalists and social media influencers. Once this right set of influencers is put together by a brand, the company can then start focusing on targeted activities which would benefit both sides. In order to keep this influencer list current and relevant, a series of PR activities would be conducted.


Just like a company maintains a customer relationship management system, this platform would help a company to maintain profitable relationships not with customers but with its network of journalists and bloggers. This set of influencers would then be harnessed to carry relevant messaging to the target audience.

IZEA

This platform has been around for more than a decade and half, and it uses a paid model for its set of bloggers. The users of this platform can use this as a cloud based software as a service model.

We no longer go through reams of text in newspapers today. We log on to websites using our computers or phones, and scroll through a few pages of text. Even there, too much of text puts us off, and we prefer to look at images to get the story. IZEA is a publicly listed company, and has become a very popular platform because of the well thought out model. The client can use this platform to compile an exhaustive list of influencers for each of whom IZEA allocates a score depending on their follower size and their reach. This list of influencers also contains real celebrities and professional journalists.

You can use this tool’s smart search function to slice and dice your targeted influencer list by several parameters to come up with a list most suited to you.

This platform primarily focusses on bloggers, and its two variants are Reachr and Publishr. Reachr helps companies to seek out influencers who would create favorable content for their products. They have registered thousands of industry-specific bloggers in their database, and if you are looking for a blogger, you can search by industry vertical to get better matches. In Publisher, you can go beyond attractive content and initiate embedded advertising of their brands. You can find lots of background information about those writers, which would help you find the perfect fit. This platform can help you work simultaneously with several writers, and would help you with the annotations for those articles.

Apart from multitasking with more than one writer at once, this platform would also help you track the performance of those writers, according to which you can tweak your campaign. One of the great attractions of Upfluence is its humongous database of over 500 million pieces of content spanning all the popular social media platforms.

Blogmint

This is the oldest influencer marketing platform in Asia, and it is still the largest in this part of the world. It is also a common platform for brands and influencers, but the advantage for companies is that they get lots of help here to identify the correct influencers for their brands.

You can take advantage of the thousands of bloggers and influencers on this platform, just like the 400 odd brands who are already connected to this platform.

The fact that this platform actually goes and arranges paid blogs (sponsored) makes it worth their while as well. The platform also helps bloggers track their payments.
