How Affable helped Sensatia Botanicals save 80% of their influencer marketing campaign cost

About Sensatia Botanicals

Started in 2000 to empower local communities on the east coast of Bali, Sensatia Botanicals - a healthy skin care product with natural ingredients - has come a long way into becoming an internationally renowned brand.

In 2021, while launching a new product Sensatia Botanicals required apt social media influencers who could help in increasing awareness about their new product and cost-effectively increase their visibility.

They actively leveraged influencer marketing in the past, working with content creators that aligned with the brand mission.  But identifying influencers and running campaigns by hiring an agency did not prove cost-effective while doing everything manually on Instagram and TikTok turned to be arduous for Sensatia Botanicals.

Challenges

Manual outreach on TikTok and Instagram was inconvenient and time-consuming

It took around three days to find roughly about seven relevant influencers for the campaign

Shuffling between various platforms to trace relevant influencers and fetch their contact information

Working with an agency was convenient compared to manual outreach, but the cost got raised by 5x to 10x

On transitioning from agency to in-house, discovering the right influencers at scale became a concern. Their target market needed a specific niche of influencers to resonate with customers.

It enabled the brand to interact, engage, and run influencer marketing campaigns while eliminating the need for platform-hopping to fetch contact details.

Results

Time to identify the right influencers reduced from five days to a few hours.

Filters available on the influencer marketing platform enabled the scalable selection of influencers based on data.
