Beyond Influencers: Co-create content with superfans

Are you tired of working with influencers who you know, deep down in your heart, don't truly connect with your brand? Do you want to create more authentic and engaging content for your audience? What if you could identify real-life brand enthusiasts who would be thrilled to help you co-create compelling content?

It’s possible. All you need is a team of curators and a licensing engine to do the important work so it’s safe.

What is "de-influencing"?

The de-influencing trend has taken TikTok by storm. It goes like this: People share their negative experiences with products and services promoted by influencers and suggest alternatives. These posts sometimes use the hashtag #deinfluencing.

According to a report by Business of Fashion, the hashtag #deinfluencing has over 200 million views on TikTok. The same report states that de-influencing videos have an engagement rate of 14.5%, which is higher than the average engagement rate for influencer marketing campaigns.

A survey conducted by Morning Consult found that 56% of Gen Z respondents said they trust influencers less than they did a year ago. Another survey by Bazaarvoice revealed that 47% of consumers are more likely to trust user-generated content over branded content.

The Power of Superfans

Superfans are the people who genuinely love your brand and are already self-creating content about it. They don’t call themselves “influencers”. And they’re not just looking for a fat paycheck. Your superfans are passionate advocates who freely share their experiences with others RIGHT NOW. When you collaborate with superfans, you tap into their creativity and authenticity to produce content that resonates with your audience.
