Episode 5 of the Influencer Marketing Lab - a weekly podcast tracking the growth spurts and growing pains of influencer marketing.

This podcast is sponsored by Tagger the data-driven influencer marketing platform and social listening tool.

This week Scott Guthrie is in conversation with Stephen Ready, co-founder & CEO at Inspired - a new type of cause marketing platform that focuses on the everyday consumer as the ultimate influencer

Our discussion covers:

  • How Inspired is democratizing philanthropy by creating everyday philanthropy
  • Hits and misses of celebrity endorsements
  • The importance of authentic brand/influencer relationships which resonate with the target audience
  • Elevating alpha consumers to become creators
  • How Inspire identifies people with nascent influence, activates their influence and builds it into a repeatable behaviour that can help move the needle on social causes, and help brands build loyalty and trust
  • How brands can surprise and delight the customer a couple of times a day when you make an everyday purchase
  • Why brands should invest in purpose and purchase intelligence
