Creating The Next Wave of Influencer Marketing | GloMotion Studios

This powerful social media channel is being forgotten... According to Statista, YouTube is the 4th most used platform for influencer marketing. It's no surprise that Instagram is the number one platform, followed by Facebook and TikTok, but YouTube was THE influencer OG platform. Influencers were BORN on YouTube. The OG creators were forged within this channel, and it still measures up as one of the most powerful platforms for influencer marketing today. It sits just behind Facebook in popularity, with over 2.7 billion monthly active users. It also happens to be the third-largest search engine in the world. And with the rise of YouTube shorts, you can target audiences through both short-form and long-form content. With the additional power of paid ads on YouTube, many brands are missing out on the platform's huge performance-driving capabilities and the consideration benefits that organic content provides. Building a fool-proof influencer strategy on YouTube is the way forward. Better yet, create a comprehensive omnichannel presence, including YouTube in the mix...

I think with YouTube its always had a higher cost barrier to entry - so tends to miss out on a lot of the test and learn market for brands with smaller influencer budgets. You can probably test a much larger variety of creators for £10k on traditional smaller platforms, and so unless you're willing to invest more serious budgets in your influencer collaborations, a lot of brands tend to shy away until their testing approach in general is a lot more refined.

Not forgotten over here mate, back over in traditional digital media world.. it’s sweeping up so much budget these days due to such functional targeting ability, scale, and fact that it is *often* a logged in user environment. Rarely but sometimes considered “Social” as it is closer to OLV in most planners’ eyes. Over at MSWW we are currently testing YouTube Shorts as you allude to for performance and added reach capabilities, but conscious it will drive very different outcomes vs. standard Instream YouTube pre-roll / mid-roll.
