Webfluential recently ran an Influencer Marketing campaign for Avon - Meet your Matte, to raise awareness of Avon’s trendy new matte lipstick colours. While most of us learnt about the launch of a new lipstick colour in a magazine, smart brands are now turning to influencers to make the launch of their new products more exciting.
We tend to trust the opinions of our peers over that of a brand, because people relate more to their peers or their favourite blogger. Through influencers brands are able to reach the correct target market and have them engage with their products, in a way that does not make people feel as though they are being bombarded with advertising - but rather content that they care about.
Have a look at the amazing work these influencers were able to produce for Avon.
