08-Nov-2019

The hybrid of old and new marketing tools, Influencer Marketing is the need of the hour for a brand. It is nothing but taking the idea of celebrity endorsement and placing it into a modern-day content-driven marketing campaign. The only difference is that the results of the campaign are collaborations between brands and influencers. GroupM has announced the launch of such an influencer marketing tool in India soon.

INCA provides influencer marketing solutions for driving brand engagement across digital platforms by connecting brands to a network of publishers and influencers to create and promote content in social channels and beyond. It allows clients to run campaigns across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and TikTok. The tool has already been launched in Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, and APAC markets. The technology platform presents creator and audience insights, fraud detection, workflow tools, content amplification, and detailed campaign reporting dashboards. It leverages a proprietary algorithm that uses real-time data to the source, curate, and match influencers and publishers to a brand’s campaign objectives to deliver the most credible partners and content for the greatest impact.

INCA enables us to do exactly that: we can connect brands with relevant, authentic influencers and publishers that have the power to help a brand achieve its objectives.”
