This episode is powered by Inuit Mailchimp, Australia's #1 email marketing and automation platform.
In this week's episode, I explore the history of influencer marketing, dating back to the 1930s. I look at how different moments in technology changed the industry— like the rise of mommy bloggers and the introduction of social media— before diving into how TikTok disrupted everything just a few short years ago. I also share three case studies of brands that have done TikTok influencer marketing well recently. The episode finishes with an interview with Inuit Mailchimp's global creative director Jeremy Jones, who talks me through the brand's recent launch into Australia and how this marketing campaign came to life.
