The success rate of an influencer can be drilled down to several factors. While there is no fixed formula for success, certain factors generally play a significant role in determining an influencer’s success rate.
Firstly, the quality of content produced by an influencer is crucial. It should be engaging, unique, and resonate with the target audience. High-quality content is more likely to attract and retain followers, ultimately leading to a higher success rate.
Engagement and interaction also play a vital role. Successful influencers actively engage with their audience by responding to comments and messages and participating in discussions. Building a community and fostering relationships with followers increases engagement and develops loyalty.
In addition to content creation, influencers need to have business savviness. Understanding the business side of their industry, including negotiations, contracts, and branding, can significantly contribute to their success. Knowing how to effectively monetise their influence and manage partnerships is essential for achieving a higher overall success rate.

Influencer marketing has evolved beyond its initial purpose of engaging and raising awareness among target audiences. It now plays a significant role in creating trends and driving various marketing strategies.
These include influencers expanding into video content, affiliate programs, and live shopping experiences, which present new and compelling opportunities for brands to connect with their target audiences.
According to the State of Influence Report 22/23, brands in Indonesia, particularly in the food and drink, fashion and beauty, lifestyle and home, and entertainment and hobbies industries, utilise influencer marketing as an effective way to reach their desired audience.
Besides selecting appropriate influencers, brands should also be aware of their objectives when running an influencer marketing campaign, which includes choosing the right social media platform.
Based on the same report, Instagram dominated the market in Indonesia, accounting for 69.9 per cent of total influencer marketing campaigns. Additionally, TikTok has quickly gained popularity, with nearly 1 in 4 campaigns delivered through the AnyTag platform in the past year.
Influencer marketing is a collaborative effort between the brand and the influencer. By maintaining strong relationships, providing value to the influencer and their audience, and tracking results, brands can harness the power of influencer marketing to effectively reach and engage their target audience.
