Influencer Marketing Trends in 2024: Employee-Driven Content and Instagram's Dominance
The world of social influencers is constantly evolving, and 2024 is no exception. One of the most significant trends this year is the rise of employee-driven content. As consumers increasingly demand authenticity, brands are turning to their employees to create content that showcases their company culture, values, and products. This approach not only helps to humanize brands but also allows them to tap into the personal networks of their employees, thereby expanding their reach and engagement.
In terms of platforms, Instagram and YouTube continue to be the top choices for branding and influencer marketing. According to Modern Retail's Q1 2024 survey, marketers chose Instagram and YouTube as the top platforms for branding, highlighting their importance in the influencer marketing landscape.
To measure the impact of influencers on consumers' purchasing behaviors, Modern Retail+ Research analyzed the levels of engagement influencers received on their sponsored Instagram and YouTube posts in 2023. The Modern Retail Influencer Index collected data from 15 influencers and their Instagram and YouTube channels, scoring them across a set of key dimensions to create a total index average score. Each influencer was then given a deviation percentage from the index average to denote above- or below-average performance in specific dimensions.
The index used four main dimensions to measure an influencer’s performance:
1. Sponsored Engagement: A measure of the influencer’s engagement on sponsored content compared to their following or subscriber count to showcase the impact of the influencer’s sponsored content and the quality of their viewership.
2. Brand Prominence: A measurement of the presence of branded content, the type of branded content, and the synergy between the influencer and partner brands to determine the cases in which an influencer would make a good collaboration partner.
3. Non-Sponsored Engagement: A measure of the influencer’s engagement on sponsored content compared to their following or subscriber count. Non-sponsored engagement, similar to sponsored engagement, indicates whether and to what degree non-sponsored influencer content generally resonates with the influencer’s viewership.
4. Audience Impact: A measure of the influencer’s total reach in 2023. This dimension measures audience size and overall post activity.
The majority of the influencers, 12 of the total 15, were categorized as beauty influencers, indicating the continued importance of this niche in the influencer marketing industry.
Meanwhile, TikTok is making headlines with its new monetization program, the Creator Rewards Program, which is now open to those who qualify. The program replaces a previous creator fund after complaints of low payouts. To be eligible for the Creator Rewards Program, creators must be at least 18 years old, have at least 10K followers with a minimum of 100K views in the last 30 days, and have a personal account in good standing where the program is available.
TikTok's Creator Rewards Program rewards creators who share high-quality content that's more than a minute long. The revamped program potentially boosts a creator’s earnings by 250% compared with the old model, with payouts based on four core metrics: originality, play duration, search value, and audience engagement.
In conclusion, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year for social influencers, with a growing emphasis on employee-driven content and the continued dominance of Instagram and YouTube for branding and influencer marketing. TikTok's new monetization program also offers new opportunities for creators to monetize their content and engage with their audiences. As the influencer marketing landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends develop and shape the industry moving forward.
