Social media marketing is an area that is constantly evolving. Staying ahead of the game – and the curve – can be as simple as having the right app or tool at your fingertips.
Beyond the right app or tool, are the audience and those pivotal engagers who can create greater visibility for your brand – influencers.
Developing an effective influence marketing strategy by finding the right influencers within your industry to engage with and ultimately share your brand’s content can make all the difference to the success or failure of your overall brand marketing efforts.
Here are four tools to help you identify social influencers for your brand:
