Extending Your Reach with Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years, a marketing tactic comprised of both the persuasiveness of celebrity endorsement with the organic feel of social media. But what exactly goes into an influencer partnership, and how can it be optimized to extend into new audiences? Joanna Metoki (Tasty Design Studio) and Crisalys (artist/influencer) will share about identifying effective influencers, setting partnership expectations, and executing appealing campaigns.
About Crisalys
Crisalys is an illustrator born and raised in Chile who started the conception of her work as an escape mechanism to the monotonous daily rural life, taking multicultural popular elements from our current globalized era, which collide in her work, highlighting from this the multiple references to the sneakerhead world, the arcades she used to visit in her childhood and the small details she encountered in the work of Mangakas and animators. Crisalys devotes most of her time to personal projects, some of her past clients include Nike, Adidas, Cartoon Network, Bandai Namco and Shueisha.
