Episode Description from the Publisher

The question is no longer whether brands should work with influencers. It’s about how brands can leverage culturally relevant influencers as part of an integrated digital ecosystem that drives brand impact while building trust, brand equity and advocacy, all while staying compliant within industry regulations. Healthcare brands face some of the toughest such regulations, which is why this sector is so helpful to examine in this regard. That is why the counsel offered on this podcast from Real Chemistry’s Erin Bittner, president of integrated communications, and Bayer’s Courtney Ambrosi, director of consumer integrated marketing strategy, women’s healthcare, is so valuable. During this conversation, the two discuss why cultural relevance and authenticity matter more than reach. They provide a blueprint for integration in a digital ecosystem. Help in measuring both the hard and soft value of influencer marketing is provided. And they make a compelling case for why compliance is a catalyst, not a constraint, for stronger influencer partnerships. If you want to learn how to work with influencers in a manner that will drive deeper credibility, connection and business impact, you’ve found the right podcast.
