Collabstr releases 2022 influencer marketing report with key sector data

A modern business today knows the significance of influencer marketing. If a brand wants to be seen by its consumers, there’s no place like a social media platform, where an influencer talks about the brand. User generated content can elevate a brand

Collabstr, a leading influencer marketplace, has released the 2022 Influencer Marketing Report: Everything You Need to Know About Influencer Marketing in 2022 to share the latest trends in the space. The report also informs about the challenges for businesses to be aware of.

According to the report, the average initial spend on an influencer is now touching US$174, and the average number of influencers per campaign is four.

Also, 87% of brands are pushing the production of user-generated content, a number that is expected to go up as social media platforms like TikTok capture consumer attention.

The report reveals the most popular social media platforms amongst influencers and marketers, along with trends that help marketers maximise their time and money when it comes to working with influencers.
