Fourth Floor Confidential
Two simple equations that will
lead to better results for your
influencer marketing
campaigns
Based on 100s of campaigns over the past two years with
Fourth Floor, and four years before that managing talent.
FourthFloorConfidential
Creators
Influence, insight,
audience, and voice
all have great
commercial value.
Audience
Content needs
integrity and value.
Audience need to
want to watch it.
Brands
Creator collaborations need to be
optimised for reach and profit.
The equations are
based on making
sure we create value
for all sides...
FourthFloorConfidential
Awareness
Celebrity
Status
Publicity
And on working with
content creators,
rather than falling
into the celeb trap.

If all you do is match
the audience
demographic or
video subject with
the product, then
add money, you
create risk.

That's a different
equation altogether.

• How they handle endorsements
• How their audience reacts
• How they feel about the product
• How much they’re just doing it because
they need the money, because it really
isn’t all milk and honey trying to make a
living making videos

By adding market knowledge you get real
results
FourthFloorConfidential
• Going beyond matching a creator’s and product’s audience
• Driving key insights from analytics and demographic data
• And then using that insight to match the right creators
• But spending the time to watch and understand their content
• Not just sponsored content, but all the content on all the platforms,
and why and when it performs
• Work with them and the brand to make sure any sponsored
content is authentic and valuable for the audience
Fourth Floor Confidential
But that’s just the first step
Because while the
world has changed...

“The flaming tire
of astonishing
creativity” 

Prof Mark Ritson
When you put
working with creators
at the heart of your
strategy, the power
of the big idea starts
to be multiplied again
and again.

How do you
achieve this?
FourthFloorConfidential
Central idea as a big tent
An idea that can have multiple voices
and points of view.
Only work with the right creators
Go beyond reach and audience, and
consider how well they fit your brand.
Listen to the creators
If their audience are your consumers,
they will have valuable insight.
Clear and consistent communication
Don’t over-promise, and make sure they
understand what’s expected.
Thank you!
