Building awareness around a brand, product or service is the most popular goal for influencer marketing campaigns and shoutouts are a great way of achieving that. Brand awareness is generally measured through impressions, reach and engagement metrics.
49% of consumers depend on influencer recommendations. This statistic highlights the growing importance of social media influencers for brands to connect with their audiences.

The global influencer market has risen over the past couple of years. According to research conducted by Statista, its value has gone from US$1.7 billion in 2016 to US$16.4 billion in 2022. Understanding the profitability of being on social media, many have started trying their hand at becoming influencers.
Shout! has over 5,000 influencers registered on its platforms. These influencers come from every tier (from those with over a million followers to those with 1k followers). But the leading group of influencers it works with are micro-influencers (those with 50k to 10k followers) and nano-influencers (those with 1k to 10k followers). Irrespective of the audience size, the main criteria for Shout! is finding influencers with high engagement.
To start with Shout!, an influencer must sign up for an account on the super app (these allow access to mini apps through one platform) Line. They can then use Line to create an account on Shout! and connect their social media accounts to it.
Influencers can send drafts of the posts and clarify any issues they might have with the client brief through the Shout! platform. The influencer gets paid for each post within 15 days of posting, and that too directly to their bank account, all on the Line app itself.
It helps cut down the effort of planning influencer marketing campaigns by facilitating the tasks of finding influencers, negotiating with them and approving posts on one platform. It even provides marketers with templates of how the posts would look and gives them an estimate of how the campaign can be expected to perform.
Shout! has a built-in campaign management dashboard that gives the marketer updates on the progress of a campaign. They can use the dashboard to seamlessly approve posts or request corrections without going through multiple rounds of back-and-forth communication with each influencer they have hired for the campaign. Shout! has worked with many major clients, including the e-commerce giant Shopee and the Thai health and beauty brand Pavitree. It has an organic reach of over 100,000+

Nowadays, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat are not just entertainment or social networking platforms. They are also platforms where brands go to engage deeper and reach farther in their efforts to find new audiences.
Word-of-mouth is one of the most credible forms of advertising. Marketing audiences are less likely to see a shout-out campaign as a form of marketing and instead approach the opportunity with a more open mind as the trust has already been established between themselves and the influencer. With that type of built-in credibility, marketing campaigns that include shout-outs can be even more powerful than the more traditional marketing efforts.
The value of a Shout-Out video is pretty clear when you consider the points mentioned. Still, Shout-Out videos have a long way to go before they are considered equal to the testimonial or product review videos.
Jatin Arora has been producing TikTok videos about cologne for just under a year. In that time he's gained 1.3 million followers and received a shout out in the New York Times. Jatin spoke with host Faith Fundal about his success, and why fragrance influencers are seeing success on social media.
Millions of social media users browse Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube every day looking for entertainment, advice, and inspiration, so marketers eagerly turn their steps where their potential customers are.
According to Statista, the global influencer marketing market value has more than doubled since 2019, standing at around 13.8 billion U.S. dollars as of 2021. As the platforms expand, these numbers are going to increase in 2022.
However, as one of the most profitable spheres of online marketing, influencer marketing is not free of risk. Which fraud schemes are common for influencer marketing? And the most crucial: what should you do to protect your campaigns? ADEX answers these hot questions.
In social media, bots are fake accounts controlled by automated algorithms. The problem is that influencers buy such bots to show themselves more popular than they are, even though they risk spoiling their reputation.
And, of course, the most obvious trend of influencer marketing fraud is fake reactions to ads. The most desperate influencers use special applications to get fake likes from irrelevant audiences or simply bot accounts.
It makes sense to check the followers-to-following ratio, as well. If an influencer has the same amount of followers and people followed, he/she might be using a follow-unfollow tactic. This tactic has nothing to do with bought accounts, but it also puts real engagement to zero.
When you cooperate with influencers, be it a YouTube video blogger or an Instagram star, you provide them with a link that leads to your landing page. It is supposed that users will follow that link after hearing about your product or service from their idol.
ADEX believes that identifying fraudulent activity in real time is the best way to deal with the issue. Postbacks feature can help you stay aware of your traffic quality, whatever source you use, including social media platforms.
With Postbacks you will receive immediate alerts whenever any suspicious activity takes place. Not only you stay aware of the traffic events in real time, but also you can block them right away to avoid spending money on useless bots.
So, influencer marketing might be not only beneficial but also risky. Trying to identify the level of traffic source reliability by sight cannot be called the best option, so we recommend taking additional measures to keep your budget safe.
