Learn how to cultivate relationships with the right influencers to get your messages in front of an engaged audience.

With the pool of full-time journalists steadily shrinking, PR pros, marketers and digital strategists are devoting more of their resources to influencer marketing. Bloggers, local celebrities, online advocates and industry experts that exert influence over their social followers have become indispensable additions to a communicator’s contact list.

Join PR News on June 29 and learn from these influencer marketing experts: Edelman's Becca McCuiston, who'll show you how to get your influencer marketing program started from square one; Ann Jane Draper and Emily Stafford from fashion designer and manufacturer Fossil, who will show you how they're "doing more with fewer resources" by leveraging influencers for Fossil's portfolio of 14 brands; Jacque Marianno of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, who'll show you how she's found success working with micro-influencers who don't necessarily have large numbers of followers; and Seth Marquart, who'll share the measurement system he used for his influencer program at IBM.

Speakers

Using influencers isn’t just about latching on to the popularity of the latest YouTube or Snapchat star; it’s about aligning your brand messaging to an audience that’s fully engaged and ready to evangelize that messaging well beyond the influencer’s sphere of prominence. With social media exponentially expanding who we feel connected to—even if they’re on the other side of the planet—consumers are turning to influencers they trust to make purchasing decisions. It’s tricky, but brands can tap into this trend with the right approach.
