Influencer Marketing – A Trend or a Key Strategy? ✨ Our fifth Sofascore Stadium Meetup focused on influencer marketing, and it turned into a very insightful discussion that engaged both the panelists and the audience, who had plenty of questions. The panel was moderated by Maša Zibar, one of Croatia’s first and most well-known content creators, and featured: 🎤 Stjepan Zelić, CEO & Co-founder @ Hypefy 🎤 Ivan “Malajski Tapir” Rado, popular YouTuber 🎤 Robert Bošnjak, Partnerships Lead @ Sofascore We explored key topics from different perspectives—content creators, platforms connecting influencers with brands, and companies like Sofascore that collaborate with influencers: ✅ The importance of authenticity – Overly controlled and scripted content often underperforms. Audiences quickly recognize inauthenticity. ✅ Big vs. small influencers – Large influencers boost brand awareness, while smaller ones tend to drive better engagement and conversions. ✅ AI in influencer marketing – Automation simplifies processes, but creativity and the human factor remain irreplaceable. ✅ Long-term partnerships – Trust and consistency are essential for successful campaigns. From record-breaking downloads to unexpected wedding invites (yes, really!), this panel had it all. After the official part, we continued networking at the Sofascore Bar. Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🎉 💡 Check out the highlights: https://lnkd.in/eukabweg #Sofascore #StadiumMeetup #InfluencerMarketing

Prijavi se na Sofascore Product Management Academy! 🚀 U svijetu gdje umjetna inteligencija oblikuje gotovo sve sfere društva u kojem živimo, ključnu razliku čine oni koji razumiju potrebe ljudi. Ipak, proces razvoja digitalnih proizvoda ne nadgleda računalo, već pojedinci poznatiji kao product manageri. Oni koordiniraju timove koji sudjeluju u procesu, vodeći pritom računa o svakoj sitnici te pažljivo osluškujući potrebe korisnika. Zbog nedovoljne zastupljenosti ove pozicije u javnosti, kao i manjka kadra na domaćem tržištu, naš novi ciklus edukacija odlučili smo posvetiti upravo temi razvoja proizvoda. Prijavi se na Sofascore Product Management Academy i otkrij više o zanimanju budućnosti. Kroz praktične radionice i mentorstvo stručnjaka dobit ćeš uvid u stvarne izazove i proces razvoja digitalnih proizvoda. ➡️ Prijave su otvorene do 28. veljače: https://lnkd.in/ddnKftWZ #sofascore #productmanagement #sofascoreacademy
