Finding the right influencer is like finding a needle in a haystack — one of the common challenges you might face as a brand and a marketer. It takes thorough research to onboard the right influencer based on their style, diversity, sentiment, and values. To make sure that every dollar of the marketing budget you spend on influencers results in conversions.

But how can you filter down the list of possible influencers according to the social media channel and specific industry category in your specific market? Shortlisting influencers using simple criteria like follower count and content style can often be misleading. These might not be the most efficient ways to find influencers for your marketing campaigns.

Suppose you are a skincare brand targeting a demographic of women between 19-32 years. In that case, you might engage with a beauty influencer with 100K followers without noticing that about 70% of her followers are men. It limits the influencer's actual reach to only 30k female audience for your brand. An in-depth analysis of influencer profiles is vital to help you make an informed decision.
